UNC-system administrators
have been reviewing their institu-

state funding.
But flexibility when making
those cuts might not be an option.
Rep. Hugh Blackwell, R-Burke,
the co-chairman of the N.C. House
appropriations subcommittee on
education, said the Republican lead-
ership is considering two options for
UNC-system schools.
One option — line-item budget
cuts — would grant state legisla-

for specific academic programs or
departments at universities.

lar environments who used other
repellent methods.
The journal Vector-Borne and
Zoonotic Diseases published the
findings this month.
Tick-borne diseases are a major
threat for millions of workers, and if
they go untreated these diseases can
lead to severe illness or even death.
Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain
spotted fever — two tick-borne ill-
nesses — have become more preva-
lent over the past two decades.
Steve Meshnick, UNC epidemi-
ology professor and lead author
of the study, said that if further
studies show similar results, the
apparel could be used by people
who are often outdoors and could
possibly be used to prevent malar-
ia from mosquitoes in developing
countries.
didates for the Faculty Council
chairmanship are looking ahead
to trying times.
Lecturer Jan Boxill and profes-
sor Vin Steponaitis will be the only
two candidates on the ballot for an
election that will span from April
13 to April 22.
Steponaitis, professor of anthro-
pology and director of the Research
Laboratories of Archaeology, said
the council’s chairman will be
forced to consider the long-term
implications of any budget cuts.
“We’re under a great deal
of financial pressure now. The
University is going to have to
change a lot of things about the
way it operates,” Steponaitis said.
“The faculty chair will play some
role in ensuring that those changes
will take place in a way that doesn’t

Coble, once a fixed-term faculty
member herself, will step down
June 30.
Boxill, a senior lecturer in phi-
losophy and director of the Parr
Center for Ethics, expressed con-
cern for the growing pressure to
reduce administration.
Jean DeSaix, chairwoman of the
council committee on fixed-term
faculty and a senior lecturer in biol-
ogy, said cuts to fixed-term faculty
could be disproportionate to those
seen by the administration.
Fixed-term faculty are particu-
larly vulnerable to cuts because
they are hired on contracts that
must be renewed upon expira-
tion.
DeSaix said Boxill has a history
of initiating conversations with
fate of centers and institutes.
“Although they are not consid-
ered part of the academic core, they
are essential to the academic syn-
ergy,” she said.
In addition to budgetary issues,
Steponaitis said that the new chair-
man could face challenges with
ConnectCarolina.
“ We w a n t t o m a k e s u r e
that the initial problems with
ConnectCarolina are fixed right
away, and that involves having
good faculty input about the pro-
cess,” he said.
Steponaitis said he, like
Boxill, is concerned for the fate
of fixed-term faculty — and the
University’s reputation amid bud-
getary stress.
“The key is to protect the core
missions of the University, which
are teaching, research and service,”
Jan Boxill and Vin Steponaitis
are both candidates for chairman
of the Faculty Council. They are on

said Steponaitis, who has been at

“I feel a lot of loyalty to this insti-
tution. I’ve been here a long time
and I feel like it was a great honor
to be asked (to run),” he added.
Boxill said she is also grateful
for the opportunity to lead the
University’s faculty.
“It’s an exciting time but a time
of anxiety as well because of the
budgetary fix,” Boxill said.

Jane Goodall looks to youth for conservation
by melissa abbey
staff writer
As a child, Jane Goodall thought she was
the better Jane for Tarzan.
Decades later, after becoming the most
famous primatologist in history and one of
the most renowned scientists of the 20th
century, Goodall is urging young people to
embrace their wild sides just as she did —
through conservation.
“If the young people give up, we might as
well eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow
we die,” she told a crowd of about 100 peo-
ple Tuesday at the Duke Lemur Center, the
home base for her past, current and future
research.
“But they’re not giving up.”
Goodall participated in Primate Palooza,
an annual, weeklong celebration about pri-
mate and biodiversity conservation.
The celebration included a number of
events hosted by the UNC/Duke branch of
Roots and Shoots, Goodall’s global environ-
ment and humanitarian program for youth.
Roots and Shoots is represented in 126
countries, Goodall said.
To conclude Primate Palooza, students,
children and community members marched
on Tuesday behind Goodall through the Duke
Lemur Center. Goodall told the crowd of tod-
dlers, elementary school children, teachers
and senior citizens of the importance of con-
servation through protecting forests.
“I look down at the young ones there and
I think about how much we’ve harmed this
beautiful planet since I was their age,” she
said. “It really makes you feel desperate.”
Goodall said she believes the power for
change lies with the youth, which is the rea-
son she puts so much effort into encouraging
their involvement.
“Roots and Shoots is probably the most
important thing I’ve started,” she said.
UNC and Duke students collaborated to
establish a Roots and Shoots chapter two
years ago, and in fall 2010 it became an offi-
cial student organization at Duke.
Junior Isaac Jaben, one of two UNC stu-
dents involved, said they are debating whether
or not to establish an official group at UNC.
dth/melissa abbey
“The big problem is just the logistics since
most of what we do is at the Lemur Center,
which isn’t on the Robertson bus line,” Jaben
said. “If we decide to make it bigger, it will
be stuff other than the Lemur Center, which
is a possibility.”
Jaben added that their decision will be
largely based on the amount of student
interest at UNC.
“We don’t want to compete with all the
other environmental groups,” he said. “We’re
trying to carve out a niche for ourselves.”
The other UNC student involved was
senior Chase Pickering, who not only helped
found the UNC/Duke Roots and Shoots
chapter but also served as a member of the
Jane Goodall Institute’s board of directors
for four years, he said.
“I travel a lot for meetings, but I love the
local part,” he said, adding that the organi-
zation travels to local schools to encourage
students’ involvement in science.
“That’s what Roots and Shoots is really
all about — getting out there and rolling up
your sleeves.”

Supporters of the law, which
goes into effect July 1, hope it will
take pressure off of North Carolina
teachers to teach to the test, UNC
School of Education Dean Bill

But some are concerned that

fulfilling the constitution’s obliga-
tion?” McDiarmid said. “We have
to have some kind of objective
measure.”
McDiarmid said the implica-
tions of the law might be differ-
ent for a high-performing school
district like Chapel Hill-Carrboro
City Schools.
“Low-wealth districts are under
a much more powerful microscope
than a district like Chapel Hill-
Carrboro schools,” he said.
Sen. Ellie Kinnaird, D-Orange,
voted in favor of the bill.
“I think there are probably
some real advantages to (testing),”
she said.
“But this is perhaps the way to
address concerns I’ve heard from
parents and teachers about teach-
ing to the test and critical think-
ing.”
Pablo Friedmann, a 2009 UNC
alumnus and high school math
teacher in Warren County, spoke
against the bill earlier this month
at a committee hearing at the state
senate.
Friedmann teaches three math
courses, including algebra 2, in a
low-performing part of the state.
In the 2009-10 school year, only
49 percent of students in Warren
County were proficient in physi-
cal science, one of the end-of-
course exams that will no longer
be administered.
“General education levels are
pretty low over here,” Friedmann
said. “When we lose the data, we
lose hope of knowing how our kids
are moving along.”
But Friedmann said he did
not believe the law’s implications
would be as negative in Chapel
Hill.
“It makes sense in Chapel Hill
and Carrboro for them to want
more freedom,” he said. “They’re
doing well.”
Denise Bowling, Chapel Hill-
Carrboro City Schools assistant
superintendent for instructional
services, said the district is not
opposed to the elimination of the
tests.

Barber to improve website Cole envisions streamlining
By matt Steyl
staff writer
Ryan Barber has come a long
way from writing about urinals on
campus, his first assignment for
The Daily Tar Heel.
As a freshman at the time, Barber
never dreamed he might one day be
running for editor-in-chief.
But after serving as a staff
writer, assistant editor and now
University editor, Barber said he
wanted to give back to the paper
that taught him so much.
“I want to be editor-in-chief
because of how much this news-
paper means to me,” he said.
If elected, Barber said he would
create a more involved writing pro-
cess for staff writers, update the
website more frequently and provide
more transparency for readers.
He would also add a weekly busi-
ness section, which would cover
university, city and state trends.
“My vision for the business sec-
tion would be to localize economic
trend stories to the Chapel Hill
area,” Barber said.
He said one of the most reward-
ing experiences for him this past
year has been seeing how far new
writers have come.
He wants to provide more
support for new writers by creat-
ing more training sessions and
encouraging writers to be more
involved in coming up with story
ideas, Barber said.
“We’re all training the future of
this paper,” he said.

Steven Norton says he would

of the paper’s production.
After copy editing, writing city
news, editing summer city news,
leading the copy desk, being assis-
tant University news editor and
now a managing editor, Norton
said he is ready for the next step.
“My time and experience here
has given me the perspective to
push forward,” Norton said.
If chosen by the selection com-
mittee, Norton has several priori-
ties for the paper.
He wants to make staff orienta-
tion into an all-day boot camp.
“My goal is for them to feel able
and ready to come in and work the
next day, no hesitations,” he said.
Norton would also make it a pri-
ority to reach out to alumni readers
and revamp online content.
“What I want to create is an
online mentality for the whole
newsroom and not just the online
staff,” he said.
Lastly, Norton hopes to help staff
members grow as journalists.

Jarrard Cole has an eye for design
and an appetite for efficiency.
Cole, who is from Georgia and
serves as visual managing editor
for The Daily Tar Heel, said he
envisions leading a more stream-

And he hopes to accomplish this
goal as next year’s editor-in-chief.
Cole said he wants to preserve
what works well while ensuring
there is less bureaucracy.
“Streamlining the paper will

UNC librarians Chad Haefele (left) and Emily King (right) have been selected as two of Library Journal’s “Movers and Shakers” of 2011.
Librarians moving and shaking
by Lauren Ratcliffe
staff writer
Librarians Chad Haefele and
Emily King insist libraries are
more than buildings with books.
And last year they set out to
show it with a single game.
In January 2010, they combined
gaming and education when they
created and held a one-time, two-
week long alternate reality game
called “Should Brandon and Nicole
get Engaged,” or ShBANGE.
Because of their efforts, Library
Journal named them two of 50
“movers and shakers” in the field
of library science for 2011, bring-
ing recognition to the innovative
ways UNC Libraries are connect-
ing people to information.
“The original idea came from a
couple of alternate reality games
I’d played in a having fun kind of
way,” said Haefele, the emerging
technologies librarian for Davis
Library in the research and instruc-
tional services department.
“And being that I think of infor-
mation management so often, I
began to think that maybe there
could be an education component
to this,” he said.
Rather than focusing on topics
traditionally included in lectures
or seminars, Haefele and King,
the coordinator for eLearning
services for University libraries,
explored ways to teach topics that
classrooms don’t address.

realized relationship issues would
make a good focus.
“When you go to class, you learn
about things like biology, history
or English, but you’re having to
learn on the fly how to negoti-
ate relationships,” said Laura
Christopherson, a doctoral student
in the School of Information and
Library Science and project man-
ager for ShBANGE.
The volunteer group Haefele
and King assembled to run the
game kick-started it with an elabo-
rate marriage proposal in the Pit.
Volunteers then passed out
fortune cookies with websites stu-
dents could visit if they wished to
get involved.
From then on, about 500 stu-
dents participated in some way,
doing everything from solving
puzzles to viewing online photos
and posting to discussion boards.
“Every puzzle was a bit differ-
ent,” King said. “The content was
different but also how we made
them available for players was dif-
ferent.”
Students could find puzzles on
blogs, via social media and even in
balloons volunteers handed out.
Christopherson said the project
was exciting because nothing like

said.
“A lot of students game, so
being able to take learning objec-
tives and material that you’d like
to teach or explore and translat-
ing that into the domains that
they are already comfortable with
is exciting.”
ShBANGE allowed Haefele and
King to explore their interests in a
new way.
“One thing I really find impor-
tant in librarianship is changing
the idea of what a librarian is, and
what a librarian can do for the aca-
demic community,” King said.
King said she views the award as
a recognition that people can con-
nect to information in new ways —
and gaming can play a role.
Haefele added that the game
allowed him to explore his interest
in people’s information consump-
tion habits.
“The game allowed us to look at
what those new technologies could
do in ways that traditional ways
maybe wouldn’t have,” he said.
And both said the recent recog-
nition furthers their goal of chang-
ing people’s perceptions of library
science and librarians.
“Using what the library has tra-
ditionally done and expanding on
it is really exciting for this field,”
King said.

suicide dents face an information overload,

from page 1
Allen O’Barr, director of UNC
Counseling and Wellness Services,
said an online spring 2010 survey
of 1,969 then-freshmen found 4.8
percent of respondents — about
one in 20 students — had seriously
considered suicide within the last
12 months.
And 1.2 percent of the freshmen
respondents said they had attempted
suicide within the same time frame.
Those numbers are slightly
higher than the national average
for all college students, which stand
at 3.9 percent and 0.8 percent,
respectively, according to a spring
2010 American College Health
Association survey. The survey did
not focus solely on freshmen.
O’Barr said that though actual
suicide rates at UNC have remained
stable over the past decade at
about one per year, other mental
health issues are worsening at the
University and nationally.
Though Counseling and
Wellness Services doesn’t have a
system to chart the types of cases it
with heightened information access
pressuring them to know more.
He said experts cannot defini-
tively explain the increase in the
prevalence — and seriousness — of
mental health issues.
“Some blame increasing stress
and anxiety on campus, others
have postulated decreased barriers
to mental health,” O’Barr said.
He said 80 percent of the
University’s survey respondents
reported feeling overwhelmed at
some point in the past 12 months
— almost four times the national
survey’s 20.5 percent.
But David Rubinow, chairman of
the psychiatry department, said the
discrepancy might have occurred
because the UNC survey specifi-
cally targeted freshmen, who are in
a state of transition and might feel
greater pressure than most.
He said feeling overwhelmed is
normal, but students should seek
help if the stress becomes severe.
“If it persists — if it begins to
interfere with relationships or
school — then that’s license to
worry,” he said.

“This is a great opportunity for carolina cares for kibera

their fellow man,” Rubinow said.

much of the earlier cuts have come
from the administrative side that
it’s hard to go back to that well.”
Rep. Rick Glazier,

in an email that the subcommittee
leadership might seek to reduce
administrative positions further
— using the line-item budget cut
option — and reserve more flexible
cuts for academic programs.
Subcommittee chairmen in the
N.C. House and Senate are formu-
lating UNC-system funding pro-
posals, which will be presented for
amendments before a vote.
While legislators deliberate the
extent and type of cuts for UNC-
system funding, system adminis-
trators say they simply want the
flexibility to determine how cuts
will impact their universities.
“It’s their job to make the budget
work in terms of balancing the rev-
enues and expenditures,” said Bruce
Carney, executive vice chancellor and
provost at UNC-CH. “I would assert
that I would know best how to allo-
cate the cuts and make sure we pre-
serve the core of the University.”
Joan Lorden, provost and vice
chancellor for academic affairs at
UNC-Charlotte, said she would
prefer more flexible cuts in state
funding to address faculty issues.
Lorden said UNC-C has been
losing faculty to other institutions
and has been forced to hire more
part-time lecturers who renew con-
tracts on a short-term basis.
A 15 percent cut in state fund-
ing would force administrators to
devise new strategies for hiring
faculty and filling gaps in course
offerings, she said.
“I know the legislature is facing
some really difficult choices,” she
said. “But I hope they think about
making cuts at the University that
don’t do irrevocable damage to its
institutions.”

team took third place in the Bryan

The 54-hole tournament at

be their best showing.
Still, UNC coach Jan Mann
thought her team could have fin-

“I think we had an opportunity
to finish first — when we started
the third round we were actually
playing very solid golf.” Mann said.
“We had some very difficult holes

we could have played those holes
better than we did. We gave away
quite a few shots at the end.”
in the second round, and she, too,
thought the Tar Heels left some
shots on the course.
“I don’t think we turned in our
best numbers overall, so of course
I feel like we could have finished
first.” White said. “This tourna-
ment all the scores were pretty
high because it was freezing cold
and it had rained a lot — so the

“As far as to say, day-in and day-

Local radiation harmless hoping for oil spill legislation

Nearest plant has protocols in place
By Chelsea Bailey
Staff writer
It happened halfway around the
world, but Japan’s nuclear crisis
could be raising radiation levels at
UNC.
But students and researchers
who found low levels of radiation in
the air above Phillips Hall stressed
there is no need for alarm.
A group from the physics and
astronomy department detected the
radiation March 19. Members of the
team believe it might have drifted
to the University from a damaged
nuclear reactor in Japan.
In order to detect the radiation,
researchers had to create extremely
specialized equipment that could
screen specifically for radioac-
tive isotopes like Iodine-131 and
Iodine-132 that a reactor would
emit into the atmosphere.
“Natural radiation is in every-
thing,” said Reyco Henning, one
of the professors supervising the
research team. “It has absolutely no
medical implications whatsoever.
“You need very specialized
equipment to detect the radiation.
Members of the team hope to
eventually publish a paper with
their findings.
“People in Japan will definitely
have long-term problems that they
will have to deal with and the people
on-site will be sick,” Henning said.
“But the amount of radiation
drops off rapidly with distance.
Here in the U.S., we don’t have
anything to worry about.”
Fewer than 25 miles away from
Chapel Hill, Progress Energy oper-
ates the Shearon Harris Nuclear
Power Plant.
Plant spokeswoman Julia
Milstead said the plant has operated
without major incident since 1987 —
but that doesn’t mean local residents
are not prepared for the worst.
“We work hard to make sure
that residents who live and work
closest to the plant are aware of our
safety protocol,” Milstead said.
In addition to distributing safety
brochures, the plant tests its warn-
ing sirens every three months, and
residents in the surrounding areas
can hear the signal.
Though safety measures are
happen at any nuclear power plant
if the right factors were present,”
said Dalton Sawyer, emergency
preparedness coordinator for UNC
Health Care.
He said the hospital has an emer-
gency radiation protocol in place
to treat and contain patients who
enter with radiation poisoning.
Sawyer said stories in the media
usually overemphasize detections of
trace amounts of radiation without
giving any context, which makes area
residents unnecessarily worried.
He added that radiation is natu-
rally found everywhere — it’s in the
ground and our bodies produce it but
that doesn’t mean it’s unhealthy.
“Everything with radiation is
relative,” Sawyer said. “Radiation
scares people because they can’t
smell it, they can’t see it and, by
and large, they can’t feel it.”
He said that while chemical
agents in the air can be masked
or mistaken for other compounds,
elevated radiation levels are easily
identifiable.
Sawyer said knowing that
radiation has caused a patient’s
symptoms makes it easier to treat
them.
“From a disaster standpoint, wire/mct

Dutch ambassador
to US visits UNC
Talks views on
foreign policies
by Ashlyn Still
staff writer
The Netherlands may be a small
country, but Renée Jones-Bos, the
Dutch ambassador to the United
States, said that it can make big
global changes.
At a talk Tuesday afternoon at
UNC School of Law, Jones-Bos
discussed everything from the
importance of shared political
values between the U.S. and the
Netherlands to Dutch views on
foreign policy.
“It’s a great opportunity for stu-
dents because it’s transparently clear
that the world is becoming more
international,” said Jack Boger, dean
of the law school, in his introduction
of Jones-Bos.
The ambassador spoke for an
audience of international law stu-
dents and faculty of the school,
which has an exchange relation-
ship with Dutch universities.
Beverly Sizemore, director of
international programs at the
School of Law, said UNC is work-
ing to expand those connections.
Several Dutch exchange stu-
dents study at UNC, and the law
school sent one student to The
Hague last year. Another five UNC
students visited the city this year.
While the school works to grow
scholastic relationships with the
country, Jones-Bos has advocated
for economic ties between the
Netherlands and North Carolina.
The Netherlands has invested
in North Carolina companies such
as Unilever and Greenville-based
DSM Pharmaceuticals. Unilever’s
foreign investment ranks sixth
largest in the state.
She said one of the biggest con-
cerns of Dutch foreign policy is
advocating for human rights while
pushing for economic justice.
“Sometimes people say you can’t
push for human rights while pursu-
ing business goals, but we believe
this is very possible,” she said.
“Human rights are important to
the Netherlands. They are vital for
business and trade, as well.”
She also said the Netherlands
strongly believes in working with
the U.S. to support human rights
on a global scale. The ambassa-
dor referenced the importance
of freedom in U.S. history, citing
the Dutch who came to the U.S.
porary dance company and is headquartered
at the Lucent Danstheater in The Hague.
Nederlands Dans Theater was founded in
1959 with the intention to break away from
the more traditional Dutch National Ballet.
Renée Jones-Bos, the Dutch ambassador to the United States, vis-
ited Memorial Hall on Tuesday afternoon. She was greeted by N.C.
Executive Director of the Arts Emil Kang, and she was introduced to
Jim Vincent, the artistic director of the Nederlands Dans Theater.
searching for liberty during the
17th century as an example.
“Whatever you do and wherev-
er you go in the world, you’re the
United States, the world’s biggest
superpower,” she said. “The world
follows you. And we have to keep
watch of what you’re doing.”
Sonya Rikhye, a second-year
law student and president of the
International and Comparative
Law Organization, came to the dis-
cussion because the International
Criminal Court and many other
international organizations are
based in The Hague.
“It was really a great opportuni-
ty for her to come,” she said. “The
Hague is a huge source for inter-
national law.”
Even though the original pur-
pose of the ambassador’s trip to
North Carolina was to see Carolina

The Daily Tar Heel
Established 1893,
118 years
of editorial freedom
Four running for DTH editor
Tori Stilwell
BY Victoria Stilwell
City Editor
The Daily Tar Heel is an organi-
zation unlike any other.
It is a thriving news outlet at the
forefront of college media. It is a
campus organization. It is a family.
It is a tradition lasting 118 years.
In order to maintain and surpass
the expectations our audience — the
University and surrounding com-
munities — expects us to uphold,
we must have a strong sense of
direction combined with flexibility
and the audacity to experiment.
Our Product
Our two content mediums —
print and online — look too much
alike. In order to adjust to an
increasingly digital world, we must
make it easier for our readers to
both access and interact with the
news we put on dailytarheel.com.
With this in mind, our print
product is still our strongest, and it
must not be neglected but pushed
toward greater excellence.
n I would merge the online and
multimedia desks and shift the
job of posting online stories to the
copy desk. This would allow us
to provide readers with different
online information interfaces.
n I would continue a renewed
effort in blogging, including a
revival of the newsroom blog.
A daily featured post on the
front page of the website would
draw more attention to all of the
blogs.
n I would maintain the visual
managing editor position created
this year. The position is critical for
creating coherent visual themes in
each issue and online.
n I would make the mix of sto-
ries on the front page just that.
With some exceptions, the front
page should represent the top
news from most desks, not just
one or two.
Jarrard Cole
By Jarrard cole
Visual Managing editor
The Daily Tar Heel consistently
produces strong content in print
and online, and we are regularly
recognized for our work among
our professional peers. No student
has a better chance at regularly
sparking conversation in Chapel
Hill than the editor of the DTH.
I cannot pass up the opportunity
to work with a team that has the
resources to share stories, shed
light on issues in the community
and work for greater transparency
within the institutions where we
live and learn.
With a few tweaks to improve
accountability, support long-term
projects, improve dailytarheel.com
and better retain staff, the DTH
will flourish as it has for decades.
The commitment required of edi-
tors and staffers will be substantial
but worthwhile. I would be proud
and honored to devote my senior
year to this project.
Accountability
I will bring back the news-
n newsroom each day, making beat
room blog to explain important

n Writers will be expected to

Staff and news-making
Happier, more invested and
better trained journalists, design-
ers, photographers and editors will
produce higher quality content.
n The training process for new
staffers must be improved. That
starts with conducting a more effec-
tive and efficient orientation.
I would also meet with each
desk’s staff to talk about how their
work effects the paper as a whole.
n The DTH traditionally hires
everyone who applies.
It’s important to continue this
approach because our job is to
teach (I started out with zero expe-
rience myself ).
However, staffer performance
must be strictly measured through
required meetings between editors
and individual staffers.
n Desk editors will take a day
off each week. Editors will not only
be healthier and happier, but the
paper will also be better because
editors will be fresher and more
creative.
n I would encourage our staff
to be more involved in other UNC
and community organizations.
n Deadlines must be more
strictly enforced, maintained and
measured.
Our Audience
n I would increase the DTH’s
on-campus presence so students
can put faces with our product.
This interaction is especially
important since our office has
moved off campus.
n When speakers are brought in
to the newsroom, I would extend the
invitation to outsiders who could
also gain from these resources.
n The DTH’s social media pres-
ence has flourished this year, and I
would like to see sustained growth
in this field through the commu-
nity manager position.
n I would commit to re-invent-
ing the public editor position.
The public editor would host
public feedback forums twice a
semester to gain public input and
write columns explaining certain
actions the DTH has taken, if
needed.
long-term projects in the paper
and online.
n To reduce bureaucracy and
improve collaboration, I plan to
reduce the number of editors.
n I will increase editor pay to
offer salaries competitive with
internships and other publications.
n I will improve daily communi-
cation in the newsroom to ensure
our design, graphics, headlines and
photos work well with stories.
n I will bring back the internal
critique of the paper to provide
staff with regular feedback.
Dailytarheel.com
n We will assess analytics daily
to understand why people come to
dailytarheel.com and what they’re
looking for.
n The online editor will attend
news meetings regularly to stay
familiar with stories and proj-
ects. He or she will exercise edi-
torial control over the homepage
to ensure that stories are fresh
throughout the day.
n The online editor will work with
a community manager to maintain
outreach through Facebook, Twitter
and other online platforms.
Retention and staff support Enliven online
n I will encourage all desk edi-
tors to model good reporting in the
calls and conducting interviews to
show staffers good techniques.
n I will work with management
to be accessible throughout the day
and give feedback on projects.
n I will encourage editors to pro-
duce content to keep them connect-
ed to their sources and allow them
to serve as mentors to new staff.
n I will limit the number of staff-
ers we hire so that we will have more
resources to devote to them. Desks
that are already selective in hiring
have retained staff at higher rates.
n I will adopt Perel’s plan to keep
staff engaged for four semesters and
better establish skills. New staff will
pick between three paths — special-
ization, diversification or leadership.
This will give staff a reason to stay
more than a semester, even if they
decide not to become editors.

Managing Editor
The Daily Tar Heel’s mission
is twofold. We first serve as a
resource for readers, producing
in-depth, relevant and visually
appealing content.
We also make it our mission to be
the best training ground for aspiring
journalists by providing them with
relevant skills and pushing them to
fulfill their potential.
By developing a system for
long-term growth, creating an
online mentality throughout the
newsroom and improving staff
training and retention, I plan to
set the pace for moving forward
with excitement, transparency and
a dedication to the community we
serve.
Leadership
n Inspire all staff to reach their
full potential as journalists, and
then push them to take a step fur-
ther. An exciting, challenging and
collaborative newsroom will inspire
staff to work together for the better-
ment of themselves and readers.
n Decision making will be a con-
versation. Challenge staff and myself
to always think of how to improve,
and always be open to new sugges-
tions. If an idea works, keep it. If
not, toss it, but never be afraid to
try something new.
Long-term planning
To present stories in the most
innovative and attractive way, it’s
essential that we prepare for big
stories well before they happen.
n A calendar will be visible in
the newsroom to highlight the
most important campus and com-
munity goals each month.
n We will update the DTH style
guide and work to develop a com-
prehensive graphics, online, multi-
media and photo style guide. This

My time at The Daily Tar Heel
began down the drain.
I was a tender, wide-eyed fresh-
man when my first assignment
arrived in my Webmail, a story on
water-free urinals. It took every-
thing in my power not to rush out
from Horton Hall and acquaint
myself with the subject at once.
Three years later, the DTH has
converted me to Gmail — and only
made me more excited about the
next story. But at the moment, I’m
most excited about next year, when I
hope to borrow a buzzword from our
chancellor and “innovate” my closest
118-year old friend, the DTH.
There has never been a better
time to redefine the newspaper
industry. The DTH, as a student
newspaper, can lead the way.
I have a four-pronged vision for
doing just that.
The DTH has taken enormous
strides with its website, especially
of late. But by midday, dailytarheel.
com is often stale. The DTH will
provide more frequent updates and
pair more multimedia with print.
n A standby team of reporters
will work shifts to make sure that
breaking news is reported prompt-
ly, filling a void left by struggling
local media outlets.
n Multimedia projects, includ-
ing video and flash graphics, will
be paired with print projects to a
greater extent.
n News and multimedia desks
will work to arrange roundtable
discussions with sources to provide
Chapel Hill its own Meet the Press.
n Improved databases and topic
pages will provide readers a deeper
understanding of the issues and
enhance the conversation the DTH
looks to foster in the community.
n An editor devoted solely to

will create consistency in our print
and online products and increase
professionalism and accuracy.
An online mentality
The product that shows up in
boxes every day will never stop
being important, and we will con-
tinue to push ourselves with bold
design and hard-hitting stories.
But it's time to create an online
mentality among staff and readers
and better utilize the website to
better reach our communities both
inside and outside Chapel Hill.
n The online editor will create
weekly reports using Chartbeat
and Google Analytics to track our
effectiveness at reaching our online
audience.
n Blog content will carry the
same weight as stories. Although
the content may be lighter, blogs
serve as an incredible entry point
for readers.
Reach out to our audiences
We’re lucky to have community
members that don’t hesitate to
communicate with us when they
think we’re doing something right
or wrong.
n Staff will be required to meet
with at least one source per week
in order to improve interaction
in the community. Editors will be
expected to pitch at least two story
ideas each week that come from
these meetings.
n Continue to provide live video
streams at controversial or popu-
lar events in the community. Our
audience has responded to this
extremely well, and we should con-
tinue to explore how to better serve
them in this way.
Improve training
n Orientation will last an entire
day, as opposed to a few hours, to
better prepare staff for their jobs.
n Work with the newsroom advis-
er to create tracks that staff can take
within the DTH. If someone wants
to become a writer, photographer,
editor or all three, there will be a
system in place to ensure staff meet
their goals.
blogs and social media will join in
the continuous updating of dai-
lytarheel.com throughout the day.
Rethink print
The DTH ranks amongst the
best in student publications in the
country. But it always can — and
will — do better.
Next year, some small changes will
make for some big improvements.
n The staff will look to adopt a
more ingrained beat structure to
give writers an expertise.
n A weekly business section will
give updates on local business news
while providing in-depth coverage
of on-campus entrepreneurship.
n With two editorials a day rath-
er than three, subjects will receive
deeper analysis. Columns will be
well-reported and relevant.
n A deputy managing editor will
steer investigative projects.
Reach out
The DTH provides unmatched
coverage for the campus and town
communities. It is important for
readers to not only pick up but
know the DTH, as well.
n A public editor will continue
to monitor the DTH and act as a
community representative.
n A blog and monthly video simi-
lar to TimesCast will improve trans-
parency, showing readers how the
DTH comes together each day.
n The email newsletter will
expand to include story summaries
and weather while empowering
readers to become active citizens
with a meeting and event calendar.
Train to own
The DTH will produce 21st centu-
ry journalists. Through training, all
staff members will have their voices
heard in the newsroom — and in the
stories cultivated from their beats.
n A more ingrained beat system
will better acquaint writers with
sources, enriching stories and
improving accuracy while imbuing
staff with a sense of ownership.
n New staff will have more sup-
port. Weekly training sessions will
teach the fundamentals.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Students should be happy
that bus rides are free
TO THE EDITOR:
Just in case some of you newer
students do not know, free bus
rides did not exist when I was in
school from ’77 to ’81. Yes there
was money taken out of fees for
transportation, but all who rode
the bus had to pay too. It was a
fee of $0.25 to ride any bus (min-
imum), even the campus bus.
And there were a lot fewer buses.
Remember too that the cost of
running a free bus transit system
has most likely skyrocketed due
to the cost of gas and increasing
the amount of routes and buses
that are running, which means
an increase in drivers needed
(who have to be paid).
Be happy that you have this
option. Yes, the fee is annoy-
ing. But in comparison to the
trouble of having change ready
every time you step on the bus
(very inconvenient), I consider
it tolerable.

More guns won’t solve
the campus’ safety issues
TO THE EDITOR:
As an exchange student, I
found myself reading the gun
debate in the DTH (“Viewpoints,”
Mar. 14) with mild amusement at
the absurdity that such a debate
was genuinely occurring within
a liberal minded school such as
UNC.
However, this amusement
rapidly turned into discomfort
with the realization that a sig-
nificant number of my peers
valued their right to self-defense
over the safety and welfare of
others.
Holgate’s argument that ban-
ning students from carrying
weapons on campus makes a
less safe environment ignores
the overwhelming statistics of
gun related violence.
America’s firearm mortality
rate far exceeds countries of simi-
lar economic and political devel-
opment. Moreover, the number of
accidental deaths involving fire-
arms significantly overshadows
the frequency of events such as
the Virginia Tech massacre.
The rare possibility of such a
tragic event occurring at UNC did
not discourage me from coming
on exchange, but the opportu-
nity for fellow students to carry
weapons on campus makes me
feel more than queasy; it would
altogether stop me from choosing
to study at UNC.
The answer to making our
school environment safer does
not lie in allowing every student
to carry guns, but by restricting
access to weapons in the first
place. I understand the impor-
tance placed on the Second
Amendment, but it can’t be
a justification for all pro-gun
arguments. Perhaps it’s time to
reevaluate the value placed on
the right to bear arms.

talking” (Mar. 29). Cellphone
use along with other modern dis-
tractions behind the wheel are
serious concerns which result in
needless accidents and raise auto
insurance premiums for all.
A University of Utah study
demonstrated that cell use while
driving creates a level of impair-
ment equivalent to a 0.08 per-
cent blood-alcohol content,
which is legally drunk in all 50
states. Other studies show that
drivers who use a cellphone are
four times more likely to become
involved in a collision than driv-
ers not using a phone, and the
risk of collision rises to 23 times
greater for drivers who text.
The use of cellphones by driv-
ers is particularly hazardous for
bicyclists, the most vulnerable
commuters on the road. As cell-
phone use becomes ubiquitous,
there are increasing numbers
of documented incidents of dis-
tracted drivers hitting cyclists
they never even saw. But too
many in our society think that
they are somehow different and
can safely drive while using a
mobile device. This is the same
delusion that contributes to
drunk driving — people think
they can “handle” the alcohol.
The tone of this article is
unacceptable. The position that
“Cellphones are an integral part
of life, especially for the average
college student” who is going
to continue this behavior sim-
ply because it would be difficult
for law enforcement officers to
enforce and that the chances
of getting caught are slim is no
excuse to endanger others or
yourself.

Animal cruelty on factory
farms an important issue
TO THE EDITOR:
Many thanks to The Daily Tar
Heel for last Friday’s brilliant
editorial cartoon, “Pork: the fine
print,” which calls attention to
the horrific treatment of animals
on factory farms. As terrible as
these places are for animals, the
simple truth is that factory farm-
ing endangers us all.
We need influential institu-
tions like the DTH to help raise
awareness about these threats,
and to encourage improvement.
The cartoon spotlights the
awful practices of Smithfield
Foods. This is fitting because
Smithfield — the world’s largest
producer of pork — has a mas-
sive presence in North Carolina.
Here and elsewhere, Smithfield
is doing tremendous harm to
pigs, to people, and to our envi-
ronment. And while we bear
these costs, Smithfield is report-
ing record profits.
These topics are zestfully
addressed in the summer read-
ing selection, “Eating Animals,”
as well as in the new documen-
tary film “Pig Business” and the
Oscar-nominated “Food Inc.”
Each member of the University
community can join the grow-
ing number of us who are fac-
ing up to the facts and saying,
“Enough!”
Each of us can contribute to
the creation of food systems that
are more just, humane, and envi-
ronmentally sustainable. Thanks
for doing what you can to help.
