Basketball ticket sign-ups altered

Students can sign up in
a 72-hour window 10
days before each game.
By Lauren Ratcliffe
Staff Writer
The days of signing up for an
entire month’s worth of basket-
ball tickets are over.
Instead of signing up during
the last 10 days of a month for
the following month’s games, stu-
dents will sign up for each game
individually next year under the
new ticket policy.
Students will have a 72-hour
window, beginning 10 days
before each game, to sign up.
“I think it will put more
responsibility on the students to
register during that 72 hours,”
said Caitlin Goforth, president of
the Carolina Athletic Association.
But some students say they
think the new sign-up times will
inconvenience them and increase
the likelihood of forgetting to
sign up for tickets.
“I think it’s going to make it
harder because I’m going to have
too much stuff to do and will
just forget,” said freshman public
policy major Jabari Price.
But senior Parker Smith said
he thinks the new system will
make things easier to know
whether you can attend games
before registering.
“I know sometimes I would
sign up, but something else would
come up that I hadn’t anticipated.”
To help remind students about
the individual sign-ups, the CAA
will create a listserv that students
can opt into for reminders.
Goforth noted that in years What’s new

were sent out, some students
complained that their chances

Cuts already affect ‘academic core,’ with more coming

The proposed budget cut to the
UNC system could strongly affect
the ‘undergraduate experience.’
By Elise Young
Senior Writer
In discussions regarding the UNC system’s
inevitable reduction in state funding, admin-
istrators have repeatedly said that “protecting
the academic core” remains their priority.
But after four years of cuts totaling about
$600 million, provosts and faculty at uni-
versities across the system indicate that the
core has already been compromised, and it
could be significantly damaged this year if the
Republican leadership’s proposal to reduce
funding by 17.4 percent is approved.
There is not a clear definition for a univer-
sity’s academic core, said Jim Martin, secre-
tary of the UNC-system faculty assembly.
“Academic core is a word that gets thrown
around a lot,” he said. “But it has been very
poorly defined.”
Administrators have good intentions in
trying to protect the academic core, but they
also want to say they’re protecting it to look
good politically, he said.
“Yes, it is rhetoric,” he said. “And yes, it is
trying to mitigate the damage.”
Bruce Carney, provost and executive vice
chancellor at UNC-CH, said the academic
core can’t be quantitatively defined.
“The key word here is ‘academic’ — that is,
the instructional mission of the University,”
he said.
“We start with the undergraduate experi-
ence,” Carney said. “That would be the real
core of the University.”
Carney said UNC-CH has managed to pro-
tect most of its academic core so far.
“It’s fundamentally the academic experi-
ence of the students,” Carney said. “How are
the students seeing their education delivered
to them?”
In previous years, other non-academic
units have felt the brunt of the cuts, but all
aspects of the University — including its aca-
demic core — will feel the upcoming round of
budget cuts, he said.
“Everybody’s going to feel it at some level,”
Carney said. “If we have 15 percent, it will be
seriously damaged.”
David Perrin, provost and executive vice
chancellor at UNC-Greensboro, said the uni-
versity took the majority of its cuts from non-
academic areas in past years of budget cuts.
“But now we have come to the place where
there’s no place left to go for the cuts and be
able to function as a university,” he said.
The university’s academic core comprises of
courses essential for graduation, such as general
education and major requirements, Perrin said.
“We’ve done a pretty good job at protect-
ing the academic core so that we haven’t seen

responded, Aitken was trans-
ported to UNC Hospitals to be
treated, Atack said.
A spokeswoman for UNC
Hospitals said Aitken is in fair
condition, and he was being
treated at the hospital as of
Tuesday afternoon.
Atack said that police are
still trying to decide whether
charges will be brought against
the driver, and he said the
investigation has been difficult
because no eyewitnesses have
come forward.
“We are asking anyone who
thinks they may have seen some-
thing to come forward, because
right now we are still working
through the investigative phase,”
Atack said.
“We are unable to determine
but he knows he is still in the
hospital.
“I don’t think anyone has
heard from him. We’re hopeful
that we will find out some more
information soon,” he said.
Aitken has been chairman of
the department for five years and
has worked at the University for
over 20 years, Leith said.
Aitken is particularly inter-
ested in the water quality sector
of public health, he added.
“He’s a fine person and defi-

said.

Tax could ease ‘huge’ cuts to K-12 schools

By Katie Barbee
Staff Writer
Board of education members
from two area school systems
emphasized the importance of
local funding to county officials
Tuesday night as major federal
and state budget cuts loom for the
upcoming school year.
The Orange County Board
of Commissioners met with
the school boards from Orange
County Schools and Chapel
Hill-Carrboro City Schools to
discuss the most efficient ways
to lessen the impact of a 13 per-
cent reduction in funding to
public education that has been
proposed by the state House of
Representatives.
Superintendents from each
school system made budget
presentations to commissioners
for the 2011-12 school year and
explained the benefits schools
could receive if the referendum
for a quarter-cent sales tax
increase is passed in November.
“We’re looking at a 20 percent
state funding reduction since
2008,” said Patrick Rhodes,
superintendent of Orange County
Schools. “That is a major prob-
lem, and that’s why local funding
support is so important.”
Rhodes said his system will see
a 2.5 percent increase next year
in the number of students, and
funding from the county is essen-
tial to keeping the per-pupil mon-
etary allocation the same.
Superintendent Neil Pedersen
of Chapel Hill-Carrboro City
Schools said he expects to see a
$7.7 million reduction in funding
to schools in his system.
“We can try to read through
these state budget cuts calmly,
but the reality is these are huge,
unprecedented numbers that
threaten the quality of education
in the state and in this county,”
Pedersen said.
Chapel Hill-Carrboro City
Schools are also seeking funds
to start construction of a new
elementary school in 2013.
County Manager Frank Clifton
said funding this project and ade-
quately meeting the needs of local
school systems in the future will
likely result in higher taxes.
“What we’re doing now is
not sustainable,” Clifton said.
“Regardless of everything else, we
have got to diversify the tax base.”
If approved by voters, the
annual $2.5 million in revenue
generated by the sales tax increase
would be split evenly between the
school systems and county eco-
nomic development programs.
“One of the problems we had
with this tax increase proposal the
first time was the sense that our
commitment was a little fuzzy,”
said Commissioner Steve Yuhasz.
“People didn’t know what the
money was going to be spent for.”
Commissioner Chairwoman
Bernadette Pelissier said the
county would commit to provid-
ing the tax revenues to the school
system for a 10-year period.
“I hope this time we’ll have
more support and that we can sell
(the sales tax) to the public,” she
said.
Stephen Halkiotis, former
county commissioner and mem-
ber of the Orange County Board
of Education, said funding at the
local level is the last resort.
“The ray of hope that exists is
the board of commissioners,” he
said. “It’s going to be up to us to
change some of those mentalities
in Raleigh any way we can.”

Cooper recruits student lobbyists
By Alex Hammer
Staff Writer
Student government is ready
to rally.
At an open house hosted
Tuesday by Student Body
President Mary Cooper, students
had the opportunity to sign up
for a listserv aimed at organizing
students to lobby legislators for
limited budget cuts.
And although most of the

president.
There will be additional sign-
up opportunities through the
end of the semester, said Grant
Heskamp, co-chairman of the
Carolina Advocacy committee.
Committee members will be in
the Pit the rest of this week with
sign-up sheets, Heskamp said.
He added that there is also a link
on the front page of the student
dents can add themselves to the
listserv.
By signing up, students are
islators when they receive emails
from the listserv, Hoover said.
Included in these emails will
be phone numbers and email
academic core
addresses of members of the legis-
lature working on budget issues.
The most recent proposal,
made by the House appropria-
tions subcommittee on educa-
tion, calls for a system-wide cut
of 17.4 percent. Throughout the
year, administrators have pro-
jected the cuts to range from 5 to
15 percent.
“We would love students to get
involved in any capacity they can,
whether it’s coming and talking to
us or just signing up for the list-
serv,” Heskamp said.
The overall goal of the com-
mittee is to uphold the quality of
the University’s academic core,
Cooper said.
“We don’t want to change the
experience in the classroom,”
Cooper said. “We want our
diplomas 20 years from now to
mean the same thing they mean
now.”
Trips to visit legislators in
Raleigh and other parts of the
state will also be organized
through the listserv for any
interested students, said Elise
Bare, a member of student gov-
ernment involved in the lobby-
ing.
Using the listserv, the organiz-
ers of the effort will be able to find
and contact students who live in
the districts of key vote legisla-
tors, Hoover said.
“Our goal is to go and leave
information with staff members
about what we support,” Bare
said.

‘Magical Thinking’ to end PRC2 season
By Katherine Proctor
Staff Writer
A different sort of magic is
coming to Kenan Theatre.
In the last PRC2 perfor-
mance of its season, PlayMakers
Repertory Company is produc-
ing essayist Joan Didion’s one-
woman play, “The Year of Magical
Thinking.”
The play — which chronicles
Didion’s emotional journey fol-
lowing the deaths of her husband
and daughter — was adapted
from her memoir of the same
name. It opens tonight.
“Interestingly, the play’s not a
big downer,” said Mark DeChiazza,
the play’s director. “It’s very heavy
stuff, but it’s very human.”
The story wanders back and
forth in time, switching between
Didion’s memories and her newly
altered state of mind — or magi-
cal thinking.
“At this point, her whole con-
ception of the world was much
more fragile than she thought,
even up to and including her san-

ity,” DeChiazza said. “She thought
of herself as a rational person but
couldn’t metabolize these events
in a rational way.”
Ellen McLaughlin, best known
for originating the role of the
Angel in Tony Kushner’s “Angels
in America” on Broadway, plays
the show’s sole role — that of
Didion.
“An actress spends her life
waiting for a part like this,”
McLaughlin said. “I feel like I’m
just at the beginning of a journey
that I wish was going to go on
longer.”
Prior to being cast in the show,
McLaughlin had admired Didion
and the memoir which detailed
the death of her husband while
her daughter was in the hospital.
“It’s a magnificent piece of
writing, and it’s so great to get to

breathe it in all the time,” she said.
“You get to spend time in Joan
Didion’s mind.”
Though she’s an experienced
actress, McLaughlin said that per-
forming a one hour, forty-minute
show alone presented some chal-
lenges.
“You never quite feel on top of
it,” she said. “It’s a little slippery,
and it’s a challenge on every level,
but I like doing things that are
hard to do.”
Post-show conversations — a
central focus of the communi-
cation-intensive PRC2 series
— allow the audience to learn
from the cast and crew as well as
experts on the subject matter.
“The themes of this play are so
universal,” said Jeffrey Meanza,
PlayMakers’ associate artistic
director. “Everyone will have

something to say.”
Meanza said he hopes the small
space of the Kenan Theatre will
encourage good conversation.
“I don’t want it to get too aca-
demic because these ideas are so
human,” Meanza said. “I want
folks to be able to really share
their stories.”
DeChiazza said that in addition
to being a moving piece, the play
also raises some big questions.
“We live in a bubble where we
need to believe that we’re safe,”
he said. “This play peels away the
last veneer of wishful or magical
thinking.

I participated in the Spanish Language Immersion program to
bolster my very basic Spanish language skills before I
traveled to Guatemala last summer. Taking Spanish 101
and 102 in one summer session gave me a strong
foundation to live and intern in this Spanish-speaking
country. The relationships I developed with the
program’s teachers and graduate students are the
best I have developed with Carolina faculty
and administrators. I received one-on-one
instruction and aid, essential to mastering
a foreign language. I would absolutely

As the year comes to a close, we look back on
the events and actions that shaped our collective con-
science and defined the 2010-11 UNC experience.
We saw the men’s basketball team make the Elite
Eight and Mary Cooper win student body president.
UNC gained national notice when several football
players were investigated for NCAA violations, and the
school continues to wait for a resolution.
Administrators continue to grapple with millions
of dollars in cuts that will likely redefine how they run
the UNC system, and the school dealt with issues of
crime, development and degree programs.

Downtown sees development
Construction continues
on 140 West while
Greenbridge falters.
By Victoria Stilwell
City Editor
Construction continues at the
140 West Franklin development,
the latest of two major projects
the downtown area has seen in
the past year.
Construction crews have about
a week of rock blasting left, said
Kendria Sweet spokeswoman for
Ram Development Company,
which is constructing the $55
million development at the cor-
ner of West Franklin and Church
streets.
Sweet said construction, head-
ed by contractor John Moriarty
and Associates Inc., is on sched-
ule, and Ram Development is
pleased with its progress.
The complex’s first phase of
construction — rock blasting —
began March 8 and is necessary
to make a deep hole for an under-
ground parking lot.
Emphasizing resident safety,
the town closed the section of
Church Street bordering the work
site as well as a westbound lane of
West Franklin Street.
The Church Street sidewalk,
however, has remained open.
“Pedestrians will have access to
Church Street during all six phases
(of construction),” town engineer
Jay Gibson said in an interview.
Development and town officials
celebrated the start of the project
at a Jan. 5 ground-breaking cer-
emony.
The project, a joint venture
with the town, consists of upscale
apartments, retail space and park-
ing with the intent of spurring the
revival of downtown Chapel Hill.

that the partners still owe the

Budget, tuition to be
passed this summer
Proposed cuts are equal
to state appropiations
for five UNC universities.
By Daniel Wiser
Staff Writer
After months of lobbying
and preparing, administrators
received bad news from the state
legislature earlier this month.
The Republican leadership
in the N.C. House went beyond
administrators expectations by
proposing a 17.4 percent cut in
funding for the UNC system.
Now the proposal is subject
to a number of amendments and
tweaks by subcommittee mem-
bers before it goes to the House
floor for a vote in the first week
of May.
Both the House and Senate
must compromise on a budget to
send to Gov. Bev Perdue by the
end of the current fiscal year on
June 30.
The cut of 17.4 percent repre-
sents a reduction of $483 million
in state funding for the UNC
system in efforts by legislators to
plug a state budget shortfall of
$2.4 billion.
The system has already
absorbed cuts of $575 million in
the last three years, including 23
percent in expenses and nearly
900 administrative positions.
To convey the magnitude of
the cut, UNC-system President
Thomas Ross said in a press
release that the cut would be
equivalent to the combined
amount of annual state appro-
In one night, two crimes

Only one report proved
true, but both brought
scrutiny to Alert Carolina.
By Paula Seligson
Staff Writer
On the morning of April 4, two
reported crimes would shake the
community’s faith in Alert Carolina.
Only one would prove to be true.
Just after midnight, five
students were robbed at gun-
point inside a suite in Morrison
And a freshman falsely reported
that a man severely burned him on
the wrist at 3 a.m. the same morn-
ing, calling him a homophobic slur
in what the University suspected
to be a hate crime.
Though only the armed rob-
bery actually occurred, both
revealed a schism in what infor-
mation University officials release
and what students believe they
have a right to be notified about.
The University heard the con-
cerns, and Chancellor Holden
Thorp convened the Executive
Group, a collection of 10 upper-
level administrators, to review
Alert Carolina policies.
The group is still reviewing those
policies, but ideas for expanding
the use of social media and send-
ing an informational — rather than
instructional — alert have arisen.

Students experiment in theater

During the same year as the
renovation of a beloved old per-
formance space, the University’s
student theater took on a decid-
edly avant garde approach in a
year of mixed performances.
Original student and faculty

experimental new works filled

But even with limited space,

system schools: UNC-Asheville,
UNC-Greensboro, UNC-
Wilmington, Western Carolina
University and Winston-Salem
State University.
“Permanent net cuts totaling
nearly $483 million could not be
absorbed without inflicting irrep-
arable damage to our academic
quality and reputation,” Ross said.
At the system’s Board of
Governors meeting in April,
administrators discussed what
a 15 percent cut would entail for
universities.
That cut would eliminate
3,200 positions — including
1,500 faculty — 9,000 course
sections and 240,000 class seats
systemwide.
The system has not yet released
projections for a 17.4 percent cut,
but a slight surplus in tax rev-
enues would enable legislators to
offset some of the proposed cuts
in state funding.
Even if the state reports a high-
er level of revenues than expected,
legislators might opt to restore
funding to the state’s other educa-
tion divisions.
Legislators have said the
UNC system should be able to
shoulder the burden of the cuts
because it has alternative sources
of revenue at its disposal — such
as tuition and endowments —
unlike public K-12 schools, which
rely more exclusively on state
funding.
“The UNC system has a lot
of money coming in,” said Rep.
G.L. Pridgen, R-Hoke, vice
chairman of the House subcom-
mittee.

case of the armed robbery. UNC
decided to notify the community
through an informational post
on the Alert Carolina website 12
hours after the incident occurred.
Officials did not notify campus
of Quinn Matney’s reported attack
until a week after the alleged
incident, and the next day had to
report that it was false.
Officials said they did not use
Alert Carolina to notify cam-
pus through sirens and texting
because there was no “immediate
or imminent threat to campus.”
Outcry was loud and immedi-
ate. Officials defended the decision
regarding the robbery because
police could not confirm if the sus-
campus groups made the best of
the school year.
A real highlight was the late
March premiere of senior Catya
McMullen’s original play, “The

The General Assembly will also
be approving tuition increases
for all UNC-system schools. The
Board of Governors proposed
hikes averaging $208 for under-

non-residents, which could rise.
Administrators said the
increase in revenue was needed to
offset the expected reduction in
state funding.
UNC Chancellor Holden Thorp
said in a statement the proposed
cuts to the UNC system were “dis-
proportionate” compared to other
reductions in funding for the N.C.

Investigation looms over football Review
NCAA has yet to send
UNC a letter of inquiry
about its findings.
By Jonathan Jones
Sports Editor
Ten months have passed since
NCAA investigators first con-
tacted the North Carolina athletic
department to say they would be
on campus to conduct interviews.
But investigators have yet to
send UNC a letter of inquiry or
notice of allegations regarding
their finds, despite multiple sus-
pensions and ruling three former
Tar Heel football players as per-
manently ineligible from colle-
giate competition.
During the 10-month span, the
team won seven regular season
games, won its first bowl game
since 2001 and has prepared
about a dozen players for this
week’s NFL Draft.
“(The NCAA hasn’t) been

The investigation still hovers

ics had seen that level of attention
from NCAA enforcement agents
since the mid-1900s with Frank
McGuire’s basketball team.

Even by the program’s stan-
dards of excellence, the 2010-11
men’s basketball campaign that
ended with an Elite Eight loss to
Kentucky was a surprising success
— but it didn’t come without its
share of turmoil.
UNC (29-8) started the season
ranked ninth in the preseason
poll, but after a disappointing 1-2
performance in the Puerto Rico
Tip-Off, the Tar Heels were on the
outside of the top 25 looking in.
North Carolina did not reap-
pear in the polls until Feb. 7 —
three days after Larry Drew II
announced he was leaving the
team.
Once freshman Kendall
Marshall and sophomore Dexter
Strickland took most of the
responsibility in the backcourt,
the team sprinted to a 13-3 finish,
losing in the NCAA regional final
to Kentucky.
In addition to Marshall and
Strickland, the rest of the start-
ing five will remain intact next
season, including ACC Rookie of
the Year Harrison Barnes, who
averaged 15.7 points per game this
season. Barnes announced April
18 he would return to UNC to
pursue the 2012 national cham-
pionship.
“As a team, we’re preparing for
a special season.” Barnes said. “My
off-season plans are to diligently
work on honing my basketball
skills in all areas with one team-
goal in mind — to bring the 2012
national championship home to
UNC.”
Coach Roy Williams acknowl-
edged that Barnes had a tough
call to make, but Williams knows
his team wants to make its mark
on North Carolina basketball his-
tory.
“I am of course excited to have
Harrison back on our team next
year,” Williams said in a state-
ment.
“He had a difficult decision to
make. He really had no wrong
decision to choose, but I believe
he is coming back to school
because he enjoys college basket-
ball, he enjoys the University of
North Carolina and he enjoys his
teammates.”
Barnes isn’t the only one that
enjoys being at the University

junior Tyler Zeller are also return-

Cooper wins SBP in
venomous election
By Andy Thomason
Assistant University Editor
Student body president Mary
Cooper was able to pull away in
a sweeping victory in the spring
election, but the unprecedented
level of controversy that plagued
the contest is not easily forgotten.
“It’s sad that this story became
about the candidates and not the
issues that students are going to
be facing,” said Ian Lee, then the
student body secretary and run-
ner-up to Cooper, after the results
were announced.
“Mary was able to stay out of
the negativity that surrounded
this election, and students con-
nected with that.”
Cooper collected 62 percent in
the runoff election, while Lee got
38 percent.
The controversy began early,
and first surrounded Lee, whose
candidacy violated the Student
Code, opponents said, because
he held onto his position in the
executive branch while running.
It later evolved into several
complaints against Rick Ingram,
who collected the most campaign
support signatures from students
in recent memory — 2,945.
Cooper and Lee said Ingram
engaged in “malicious and harm-
ful” behavior against them and
their campaign staffs.
The candidates provided evi-
dence against Ingram to Andrew
Phillips, chairman of the Board of
Elections, who called a hearing of
disqualification for Ingram.

still in
early
stages
UNC’s unnecessary
degree programs will be
defined and eliminated.
By Elise Young
Senior Writer
After four months of discus-
sion, a review of UNC-system
degree programs is still in the
research stage.
UNC-system President Thomas
Ross first used the review’s
catchphrase — “unnecessary
duplication” — in January when
he announced a review of the sys-
tem’s 2,000 degree programs to
identify duplicate programs that
universities could eliminate.
Ross requested the study to
help the system cope with a more
than 15 percent — $405 mil-
lion — budget reduction for the
upcoming academic year.
The initial phase of the
review, spearheaded by Jim
Woodward, former chancellor of
UNC-Charlotte and N.C. State
University, began in March.
But unnecessary duplication
has not yet been defined.
Woodward said he is still work-
ing with administrators to come
up with a criteria for eliminating
programs.
“It’s easy to talk about program
duplication, but quite frankly,
most of the duplication is of no
concern,” Woodward said.
“The challenge is to arrive at
a conclusion of what we mean by
unwarranted duplication.”
Woodward said he will speak to
provosts at different universities
and look at what’s being done in
other states in terms of consolida-
tion and duplication.
The review will encompass
both undergraduate and graduate
programs and will consider stu-
dent demand, operating cost and
regional need.
Determining if a program is
an unnecessary duplication will
depend on student demand, its
proximity to schools with a simi-
lar program, and a campus’ ability
and willingness to provide the
program.
“I think with the financial dif-
ficulties, pretty much everything
has to be put on the table right
now,” Woodward said.
“There is duplication, but is it
appropriate to serve the people of
North Carolina?”
Unnecessary programs might
be discontinued, combined with a
more productive program or con-
verted to an online program, said
Alan Mabe, former senior vice
president for academic affairs for
the UNC system, when the review
was first announced.
“This is a chance to stop and
look systematically at it,” Mabe
said.
“This has been a part of our
plan all along,” he said. “Now we’ll
be looking at the programs sys-
tematically across.”
Pressure is being put on
Woodward and his committee to
formulate the plan of attack for
the review in a timely manner.
Hannah Gage, chairwoman
of the UNC-system Board of
Governors, said by next fall
there should be enough informa-
tion for the board to begin more
serious conversations about
which programs to eliminate or
combine.
Woodward said he also hopes
to see results of the review by
fall.
A criteria will be developed
to see what qualifies as unneces-
sary duplication by the end of the
spring, Woodward said.
And in the summer, universi-
ties will start implementing the
review’s recommendations, mak-
ing appropriate cuts to academic
programs.

In the
end, it
does
matter
T
his will be my last column
of 2010-11, and since I
would be talking about sex
at the end of the year, I figured,
why not talk about sex at the end
of your rear? That’s right: This
column is going to be about anal
sexuality.
Whether you just cringed with
disgust, flinched with pain or
squealed with glee, it’s clear that
anal sexuality elicits strong emo-
tional reactions.
We are trained early on in
childhood that fecal matter
is dirty, and so the anus is an
unclean place. It’s no wonder
that “a--hole” is such a common
American insult. We shouldn’t
look at or touch our collective
anus, and so we grow unfamiliar,
uncomfortable and unwelcoming
toward anal eroticism.
On top of this revulsion, we
associate anal sex with pain.
There is a high concentration of
nerve endings around the anus,
which explains our particular
sensitivity to pain in that area.
We expect that anal sex must be
painful, so we avoid it.
There are social stigmas around
anal sex as well. Many straight
men feel threatened by anal eroti-
cism because it’s considered gay,
or they reserve the idea of recep-
tive intercourse for female roles.
These connections, and the related
homophobia and misogyny, have
likely encouraged the anti-sodomy
laws prevalent in many countries.
While it is true that three out
of four gay men have anal sex at
some point in their lives and that
roughly half of these men enjoy
receptive anal intercourse, this
also means that not all gay men
enjoy anal, and that other gen-
ders or orientations are not pre-
cluded from enjoying anal sex.
Regardless of your opinion
about anal, it is becoming more
prevalent in heterosexuals, or at
least more visible. Many people
are finding pleasure in that same
cluster of nerves around the
anus, through outer stimulation,
penetration, or inner pressure on
the prostate or vagina.
The Project RESPECT study
(1993-1995) found that 9 percent
of heterosexual men and women
reported any anal intercourse
in the previous three months.
These numbers rose to 21 and 22
percent in Project RESPECT II
(1999-2000). An analysis of the
2002-2003 National Survey of
Family Growth revealed that 34
percent of men and 30 percent of
women have reported ever hav-
ing heterosexual anal sex.
With this increased preva-
lence, we must acknowledge the
risks and implications for public
health. Unprotected receptive
anal intercourse is a risk factor
for HIV transmission in both
homosexuals and heterosexuals,
and anal HPV infection has been
associated with anal cancers.
Condom use during anal sex is
low in heterosexuals, likely due
to a perception of low STI risk
with long-term partners or to the
unlikelihood of pregnancy.
Anal sexuality holds an impor-
tant place in the spectrum of
sexual expression and the realm
of sexual health. The anus serves
as a source of sexual function
and pleasure, but there are also
specific concerns for safety. In
order to embrace anal sexuality,
we need to step up education,
research, and discourse, and we
need to challenge taboos.
With that, I want to congratu-
late all the students on finishing
another school year. I hope you
celebrate your end with a bang.

EDITORIAL CARTOON By Laurel Holden, lholden@email.unc.edu
Realizing the right policy
New guidelines are an
opportunity to review
sexual assault policies.
D
ue to new guidelines
from the Department
of Education, UNC
will be reviewing how it deals
with sexual assault cases.
None of UNC’s policies have
changed yet, but Assistant
Dean of Students Melinda
Manning said the University
would be undergoing review
this summer to ensure they
followed federal guidelines.
UNC’s task will be to balance
the University’s responsibility
to provide a safe environment
for students with a survivor’s
right to make decisions regard-
ing his or her future — all in
line with new guidelines.
A year ends, and a tenure
I
f the opinions I signed onto
this year had prevailed,
Ian Lee would have been
elected student body president.
Head football coach Butch Davis
would have been dismissed.
Former UNC-system president
Erskine Bowles would be the
White House chief of staff. And
there would be no Alcohol Law
Enforcement.
Writing for this desk has some-
times been an exercise in futility.
I have been writing opinions here
for five semesters. I have been
involved in three endorsement
processes, failing to pick a win-
ning mayor and three student
body presidents. There’s plenty
to make you feel cynical, and this
year was no exception.
But then I remember the little
victories.
In October, the editorial board
published a pice called “Double
standard?” — noting that the
University’s support of Davis
in the midst of football scandal
was at odds with its willingness
to fire cancer researcher Bonnie
Yankaskas. Both seemed simi-
larly negligent in their oversight
duties. That award-winning edi-
torial brought a fresh angle to a
Photographer’s work a
testament to our culture
TO THE EDITOR:
As I handed “At Twelve:
Portraits of Young Women,”
a collection of photographs
by southern photographer
Sally Mann, to my father this
past weekend, I was quickly
reminded of how different our
University atmosphere is from
that of Pittsboro. I look back
and feel naive; her work is
highly controversial and is even
called child pornography by
some critics.
As my father flipped
through the pages, his expres-
sion revealed the electric
nature of her photography.
In the discussion that fol-
lowed, surprisingly civil for

Editorial
Many of the new mandated
policies are vague. They indi-
cate the University’s obliga-
tion to investigate every case
of sexual assault, but do not
detail what an investiga-
tion must entail. It remains
unclear if every case of report-
ed sexual assault will have to
be investigated, or if UNC will
be able to retain its anony-
mous reporting system.
The most important value
for any system regarding
sexual assaults to retain is the
right of self-determination for
the survivor of that assault ­—
something UNC’s current poli-
cies respect.
After experiencing such
a personal and severe act of
violence, a survivor of sexual
assault should not be coerced
by federal guidelines into

controversial conversation about
leadership and culpability.
In January, the board pub-
lished “Hogan’s broken promise,”
after discovering that former
student body president Hogan
Medlin backpedaled on a pledge
not to accept his officer stipend.
We caught hell for it — many
accused us of unfairly delving into
Medlin’s personal life. But the
thrust was not that Medlin was
immoral. It was that candidates
need not idly issue pronounce-
ments they cannot be faithful to.
We were there to make the connec-
tion a year later. I’m proud of that.
The above are but two exam-
ples in a corpus this year I am
proud of. News ran the gamut
what usually transpires, my
father sparked in me a ques-
tion that I have been thinking
about ever since: What is her
point? Many young women
portrayed in her photographs
appear vulnerable and even
victimized. My father was
curious to what end?
When someone mentioned
in a conversation the other
day that it was sexual assault
awareness month, an answer
to my father’s question finally
worked its way to the fore-
front of my brain. The ques-
tion is not why does Mann
portray young women in the
way she does, but why do we
react the way we do? Her pho-
tography is so controversial
because it reveals how much
our society sexualizes young

opening an investigation.
Students need to keep
abreast of the latest news —
the rights and responsibilities
of both survivors and accused
perpetrators seem like they
could change fairly drastically
over the next few months.
The new guidelines are a
chance to improve how the
University executes its respon-
sibility to help address and end
sexual violence.
Look at the new guidelines,
and share suggestions with
Manning.
This is a chance for students
to weigh in on the way the
University deals with sexual
assault cases.

Through all, this page remained
intrepid in its resolve.
Neither my leadership nor the
content on the page have been per-
fect. But I’m proud of the product
produced. Many college papers
sadly neglect or downplay their
opinion sections. I think we prove
every day what a mistake that can
be. We seek to combine the best of
levity and severity, general knowl-
edge and wonkish detail. It’s a for-
mula that engrosses students and
administrators, as well as local and
state leaders.
So there’s much to make me
sad about leaving. Being opinion

an honor. It has also been a collec-

of this column is written with
“we.” I owe much to the diligent
writers who took the ride with me.
Here’s to a memorable year —

from suspicion than it is to deter-
mine probable cause to charge
someone.”
Young said most falsified reports
are minor issues — but cases that
could threaten campus safety can
generate media attention.
He said in 2008 a student
falsely claimed to have been the
victim of an armed robbery and
assault near Davis Library.
Young said the student’s injury
was found to be self-inflicted, but
not before it received consider-
able media attention. The student
was later convicted of the misde-
meanor crime.
“Reports which, if true, reflect
an ongoing threat to the campus
community may initially elicit a
different level of communication
to the University,” Young said.
McCracken said he hopes the
charges will deter false reports in
the future.
But officials said they hope
more people who have issues with
self-mutilation will report their
problems to experts who can help.
Terri Phoenix, director of the
LGBTQ Center, said self-mutila-

Avery Cook, a clinical social
worker at Counseling and Wellness
Services, said that while every per-
son who self-mutilates does so for
different reasons, the individuals
are usually experiencing distress.
She said she urges students
who are feeling strong anxiety to
come to Campus Health Services
and speak with a counselor.
She said students often need
help to reach out for guidance.
“When someone is extremely
distressed, it is hard for them to
take action,” she said.
“The most important thing you
can do is monitor your friends
and encourage them to seek help.”

Ford reports the best first

LOS ANGELES (MCT) —
Brisk sales and higher prices
helped Ford Motor Co. to one of
its best first-quarter profits in

It was the automaker’s best first

UNC o∞cials juggle Steps toward a better DTH
budget, summer travel T
Thorp, Carney and Strauss
will travel this summer on
University business.
By Nicole Comparato
Staff Writer
University administrators will
be occupied with managing bud-
get cuts this summer. But they
will still find time to travel the
world on UNC business.
Chancellor Holden Thorp and
Dr. Ron Strauss, executive asso-
ciate provost, will travel to the
Galapagos Islands and east Asia,
respectively, to oversee potential
future academic programs.
Thorp will depart for South
America on May 11 to meet with
officials from the University
of San Francisco de Quito in
Ecuador to discuss the develop-
ment of research programs in the
Galapagos, he said.
But after that trip, Thorp said
he will spend most of the summer
in Chapel Hill and Raleigh plan-
ning for budget cuts and negotiat-
ing the extent to which budget
cuts will affect the University.
“The most important part of
the budget season will begin once
the (N.C.) Senate has proposed
their budget, which will probably
be in the later part of May,” he
said. “And that’s when the (UNC-
system) president and I really
need to crack down and do the
best we can.”

Carney added there will be

All three administrators have

it’s all part of the job.
“The schedule of the legislature

T wenty exceptional undergraduates and one graduate student
have been selected as Phillips Ambassadors for Summer and
Fall 2011 study abroad programs in Asia. Phillips Ambassadors
are chosen twice each year, with 25 percent of the scholarships
reserved for qualified undergraduate business majors and
minors from Kenan-Flagler. Scholarship recipients are selected
for academic achievement and commitment to activities, service
and leadership roles in the classroom and community.

The Phillips Ambassadors scholarship program is made possible through a generous gift from
alumnus Earl N. “Phil” Phillips Jr., an entrepreneur and former United States ambassador.
