In the days leading up to the North Carolina football teams matchup with North Carolina State, coach speak died on the radio. And both Everett Withers and Tom OBrien killed it. In an interview with 99.9 The Fan ESPN Radio on Wednesday just three days before UNC will try to beat N.C. State for the first
time in four years Withers said recruits in North Carolina need to know who the flagship school is. They need to know it academically, Withers said. If you look at our graduation rates opposed to our opponent this weeks graduation rates for football, I think youll see a difference. If you look at the educational environment here, I think youll see a difference. Thursday, OBrien fired back at Withers. As far as the flagship, here was a guy who was on a football staff that ends up in Indianapolis, OBrien said to a group of reporters. You have an agent on staff. You are paying players and you have academic
fraud. Thats a triple play as far as the NCAA is concerned. Those are hot words, even for coaches of rival schools. And that, among other things, is what makes Saturdays game between UNC (6-3, 2-3 ACC) and N.C. State (4-4, 1-3 ACC) possibly the most intriguing game between the two teams in recent years. In past years, former UNC head football coach Butch Davis treated the week leading up to UNCs game against N.C. State as any other, but Withers has taken a different route. Hes just emphasized a lot

With millions less in state funding, the SBP asks for ideas from students.

It is important for people to know that this is the best chance we have to go in and present student ideas .

Board of Trustees on Nov. 14, leaving Cooper less than two weeks to craft her own proposal for the task force. It is important for people to know that this is the best chance, the only chance, we have to go in and present student ideas, Cooper said. Cooper arranged two meetings for student government to provide input on canvassing student opinion. The second of those meetings was held Thursday night. Cooper has set up a dedicated email address and a text-in hotline on TalkBin, she said. She also plans to distribute fliers

For some students, the attention on the African and Afro-American Studies department has come at a heavy cost. A small group of students stood in front of three administrators Thursday to protest the reckless and insensitive manner in which they say UNC has conducted its investigation into the department. We are being unfairly branded as exem-
plars of dishonesty, one student read from a prepared statement. Members of the group said they think the department is being used as a scapegoat for larger problems with academic integrity at the University. The Universitys investigation, which began in September, was launched following the revelation that former defensive end Michael McAdoo had largely plagiarized a paper for a class in the department and the plagiarism had not been detected by the honor system. Julius Nyangoro the professor in that class and then-chairman of the department resigned from his chair-
A local coalition concerned about heavy underage drinking at Chapel Hills Halloween celebration is proposing the town discontinue the event altogether.
In a press release sent out this week, the Coalition for Alcohol and Drug Free Teenagers of Chapel Hill and Carrboro suggested that the University consider funding and holding a Halloween event on campus ending the celebration on Franklin Street that drew a crowd of 27,000 this year. We see it as really nothing more than a drunkfest, and we feel that it promotes underage drinking in general, said Dale Pratt-Wilson, director of the coalition.
The town began the Homegrown Halloween initiative in 2008 after crowds of more than 80,000 congregated on Franklin Street in 2007 for Halloween prompting concerns about public safety and high law enforcement costs. The coalition was part of the community initiative calling for the change, Pratt-Wilson said. But she said she doesnt think the change has made enough of a dif-

e all remember suffering through the public school busing system, with its cost-cutting three kids to a seat policy and tyrannical drivers that made Mussolini look chill. It was enough to inspire rebellion, frankly. But this girl may have taken that idea just a touch too far An unidentified 9-year-old girl was just trying to get her snack on when a bus driver told her to stop eating candy on the bus. The girl responded by cursing at the driver, trying to fight other children and throwing pieces of asphalt at the bus. When police arrived, the girl began screaming F--k you! Shut the f--k up! I will f--king kill you! She then threw a chair and attempted to bite the officer. The girl is facing four felony charges. Power to the people.

get gap with the help of sources other than tuition. But Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Bruce Carney said tuition hikes would still be necessary in case outside funding falls through. Jared Simmons, chairman of the finance committee of Student Congress, said UNC needs tuition hikes in order to replace the things the University has had to eliminate due to budget cuts. If you dont retain faculty, then you will lose the value of your degree, Simmons said. Students dont think about this. Theyre just thinking about paying bills. Money from a tuition increase would primarily go to graduate tors and the department. Many faculty members in attendance said they were pleased with how Gil and her team have conducted the investigation and represented the department in the media. Andrew Reynolds, chairman of the global studies department, said as an outsider to the department, he felt Gil had represented the department well. I think its been very challenging to counter some of the negative perceptions, Reynolds said. He added that there is always room to improve communication about the investigation. After delivering their statement, the students asked Gil to student programs, faculty salaries, restoring lost credit hours and financial aid, Simmons said. He urged students to not think about whether to support tuition hikes, but to consider where the revenue should go. Lily Roberts, Coopers senior adviser, said students need to remember that any adjustment to tuition above the cap would occur over a multi-year period. Any increase would be broken up over several years, so we will not see a 40 percent increase over one year at any stage. Contact the University Editor at university@dailytarheel.com.

in attendance. Pratt-Wilson said besides underage and public drunkenness, the number of scantily clad girls and the high potential for sexual assault were also factors that led the coalition to call for the end of a Franklin Street Halloween. Our position is that it is unsafe and unhealthy to have Homegrown Halloween, she said. She also suggested moving the celebration to another area, such as East Carolina University. But some residents want to preserve the Halloween celebration, which hosts both University students and local families. I feel like its a tradition, said Chapel Hill resident Pat Lopp. I would hate to see it be just a University thing. And the event has become a tradition for many UNC students, who wish to continue celebrating on Franklin Street. Halloween is part of the culture here in UNC, said freshman Zak Smith.

vi Moray, 2, of Chapel Hill, learns how to play the violin with the help of a music instructor from the North Carolina Symphony at the Whos Making that Noise? Instrument Zoo in Carrboro Century Center Hall. Avis mom, Jin Yi Kwon, brought him to the event, where kids learned how to play different instruments.
The Visualizing Human Rights Anti-Conference isnt a stuffy meeting with professors, politicians, data and charts. Its an all-day event using performance, multimedia and art to tell the stories of people fighting for human rights around the world. The event will be held Saturday in the FedEx Global Education Center by the Center for Global Initiatives. It doesnt just portray these critical issues in terms of facts and figures, said Bevin Tighe, a program assistant with the center and a main organizer for the event. One of the days programs will be an interview with Rida Mazagri, a Libyan-American and a former political prisoner under the late Libyan ruler Moammar Gadhafi. Other events include a participatory art project and a West African music and dance performance. Rather than really have one single issue seen for the year, we really like to have a mix, as people are connected with different
issues and interested in studying things that impact different locations, Tighe said. Senior Amanda Newton will lead a human trafficking discussion and show part of her honors thesis. Her thesis is a documentary film about Stellas House, a home in Moldova created for girls forced to leave state-run orphanages when they turn 16, many of whom are sold into the sex trade. I was just really curious to interact with these girls who have had completely different experiences than me as an American average girl, and just be able to see what theyve gone through, Newton said. The only difference between me and them is the fact that they were born in a country on the different side of the world. Senior Will McInerney, co-director of spoken word group Sacrificial Poets, will perform with Poetic
Portraits of a Revolution, an organization that sent him and several other poets to Egypt and Tunisia. While there, the team also took pictures and video depicting the countries transformations. We wanted to witness what was going on firsthand and to help bring that information back to our own communities, McInerney said. I hope the people who hear our performance walk away with a better and more realistic perspective one that focuses on the people and their stories, not just politicians and statistics. Tighe said she hopes the event inspires students to create their own projects involving human rights issues, especially since the Center for Global Initiatives offers grants for such projects conducted at UNC and abroad. Were hoping that it raises awareness around human rights issues in a way that also provides a way for people to be uplifted, not just downtrodden by the reality of some of these issues, she said.

Though only two weeks old, the Piedmont Food and Agricultural Processing Center has already caught the attention of local farmers and food entrepreneurs. Six clients are currently using the facility to manufacture, Facility Manager Matthew Roybal said, and up to 22 have been approved to come in when theyre ready. Roybal said he expects to have between 32 and 40 clients producing in the facility by 2012. The center creates a venue for small entrepreneurs to grow their business and promote local agriculture. Its inauguration was originally scheduled for the spring, but construction delays pushed it back to late October. The opening started off with a series of speeches given by local politicians and business people, including Noah Ranells, the Orange County agricultural economic development coordinator, and Dina Mills, owner of LunaPops, a business using the center. The speeches were followed by a potato cutting, instead of ribbon, and an open house where attendants tried samples from eight businesses involved in the initiative. Since the opening, clients have lined up to take advantage of a more cost-efficient way to package and sell their products. Our goal is to help these businesses to be sustainable and successful, Roybal said. Jonathan Mills and his wife Dina run Wilmington-based LunaPops, which markets its all-
natural Popsicles in Chapel Hill and throughout North Carolina. Mills said the center is a great opportunity for their business. Before the center opened, the Mills had been using a kitchen in the back of their store. Now they are using a state-of-the-art commercial kitchen at a much smaller cost. There is a huge up-front capital cost with a small business, Jonathan Mills said. Because of this center, we are able to grow much bigger and much faster without as much risk. Starting this month, the center will also provide information sessions for clients. Classes will cover accounting, business structure and legal concepts, and distributors and professional chefs will come in to help, Roybal said. For Orange County Commissioner Barry Jacobs, the project hits close to home. I used to be a farmer long before there were any farmers markets or anybody talked about organic foods or local food economies, he said. I tried to raise food to sell and found out firsthand how difficult it was unless there were receptive markets. Connecting local producers
with local consumers in Orange County is a process a decade in the making, Jacobs said. This is a key component in making that happen. Contact the City Editor at city@dailytarheel.com.
For many students, the weekly, vegetarian Hare Krishna meal in McCorkle Place represents a free dinner. But for others, it is much more. Every Thursday from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., hundreds of UNC students line up for rice, curry, beans and cream of wheat, served by members of the New Goloka temple in Hillsborough. Sophomore Josh Sydes was one of those students last year. He began asking members of the temple questions about their beliefs, and soon, he was volunteering himself. If I hadnt gone to the dinner and a couple other events, I would not have known what it was, and it has changed my life dramatically in a positive way. Sydes said he now studies the Bhagavad Gita which is the primary text of the practice. Jagadguru das, an organizer of the dinner, said more students have told him this year that they have begun meditating as a result of the dinners. People like you very much when you distribute free food, he said. But the food is spiritual. Hare Krishna is a spiritual practice that originated in India. Followers believe chanting connects them to Krishna, or God. Members of the temple serve
dth/logan savage Members of the New Goloka temple in Hillsborough serve a free vegetarian meal to students on McCorkle Place every Thursday at 5:30 p.m.
an estimated 300 students each week, das said. He said the people who prepare the food dont taste it, and cook with the idea that it will be enjoyed by Krishna. By sharing food, we can begin to share ideas and dialogue and make available to them this spiritual knowledge from the ancient cultures of the East, das said. Anadi Krishna dasa, another organizer and server, said members hope students will use the food as an opportunity to find out about the Hare Krishna beliefs, which he said will make students happy. Everybody knows that most students are more stressed out than you can imagine, but the way of Krishna consciousness is full of
bliss, and with this food hopefully theyll get an opportunity to experience what Krishna consciousness means, dasa said. Senior Stephen Bisher said he has been coming to the dinners for a year and a half. Its like having an alternate Lenoir experience, like Lenoir outside essentially, he said. Graduate student Laura Benton said the dinners are a great way to do outreach. Its a great way to talk about their religion and the principles they hold, Benton said. Clearly, they believe in hospitality and giving, and its a beautiful thing. Contact the University Editor at university@dailytarheel.com.

kvetch: v.1 (Yiddish) to complain To the Bachelor: You made my whole week when you gave me a rose on Halloween. If only you were a senior, Id hit on you. #notacradlerobber To our (likely armed) CHEM 430 guest lecturer: The slide dedicated to the turretmounted, remote-controlled machine gun with which you blazed targets in the Stan? Not biochemistry. To the owner of the road bike with cartoon PBR bottles on the frame: You must be from Carrboro too! And no, I didnt steal your bike, I occupied it. Hey Student Congress: Giving us access to a lawyer only makes us WANT to sue you. But thatd make you think were actually engaged in what you do. Justin Bieber paternity suit: four words I thought Id never say. I guess never say never? To the half-naked girl in the Cowboys cheerleading costume: Youre welcome for picking up the bag you dropped. Did you want me to pick up your dignity while I was down there, too? Fratstars: it doesnt count as a costume if you tape, We are the 1 percent, signs to what you normally wear. We already knew that. Toilet paper ply is also a lot like Dukes number of football wins. It may be 3, but that doesnt mean theyre bowl eligible. The wait at Alpine. #ThingsLongerThanKimsMarriage To the fifteen students who watched in silence as I hunted down a lightning-fast cockroach in Davis: Im a hero, damn it. APPLAUD MY KILL. To whoever peed in the Davis elevator: I guess it was silly of me to think that by spending Halloween in the library I would avoid stepping in puddles of urine. @kenanflagler: I bought the student business cards not for career and job sakes, but to receive texts like this: I believe we met last night, and you gave me your card. Hey Kendall: I am willing to do anything for you to make sure you avoid injury this season. Breakfast in bed? Pick up your dry cleaning? Go to class for you? You got it, big guy. To the student who complained about me bringing a rooster to class last week: It might be good to learn how to distinguish between boys and girls (in the poultry department).

The Student Union must compensate STV for lost studio space.
t bare minimum, the Student Union owes Student Television an apology for splitting its space in the multipurpose room. But thats not all STV deserves. After sinking $30,000 into transforming the room into a functional studio, only to have its space reduced by 65 percent, STV now has to rethink its future. One way or another, the Union must pay STV back for a move that deprived the group not only of studio space but of a voice in the decision, as well. In defending the Carolina Union Board of Directors unanimous vote this week, Union Director Don Luse said the marketing and design department required a larger office space because of ballooning demand for promo-
tional materials like banners and fliers. This demand from student organizations, the Division of Student Affairs and the Union itself grew from 53 projects in 2008-09 to 243 in 2009-10, or by 358 percent. The move isnt the marketing and design departments first choice, either. Under phase two of the UCommons renovation, it would have received a new office but the referendum failed in no small part to its poorly received campaign. That irony comes a close second to the miscommunication that led up to the Union boards vote. STV station manager Sydney Holt said she was told of the Unions plans only offhandedly in August, weeks after the Union decided on the multipurpose room as the best option. Luse said he notified STV of the Unions plans at the beginning of the summer, adding that the station never informed him of how it would
be spending the $30,000. Regardless of what, when or whether both sides communicated, its clear that coordination was lacking. Had STV been notified sooner, Holt said she would have been willing to give up the stations separate office and have one functional space rather than two half-usable spaces. That separate office may not have sufficed. But it could have at least opened a dialogue before it was too late. Holt said the renovations are rendered useless by the Union boards decision. Now, STV has to start over with a renovation that could be more expensive. No matter the final expense, the smaller space wont be wide enough for highdefinition broadcasting. The damage has been done from this vote. STV and the Union should take a lesson from it. Its time for them to communicate and achieve some measure of damage control.

f UNC wishes to develop the next generation of entrepreneurs, it must do more to provide students with opportunities to develop management skills. Student-run stores provide that opportunity and have already been proven to work at UNC and other schools. With some of UNCs most successful alumni on campus today to discuss the future of the Innovate@Carolina initiative, there is no better time for
EDiTOriAl
students, faculty and alumni to begin considering ways to provide students with real management experience. UNC has no shortage of student ideas, but its execution that separates ideas from innovation. Finding students with executive and management experience is a real challenge. To become a leading innovator, UNC must provide its students a chance to gain those skills. Last year, two UNC seniors did the impossible when they opened 4, a socially focused clothing and accessories store on Franklin Street, for an independent study course. While
successful, 4 was closed after the founders graduation. Beyond UNC, at Georgetown University, students operate a variety of businesses that employ more than 250 students from coffee shops to a full-service credit union. While programs like the entrepreneurship minor and Launching the Venture provide a foundation for idea and venture development, they do not allow students to practice getting their hands dirty. For that, students need to work it, live it, grow it, own it. Student-run businesses provide that opportunity.
11/7: Columnist Perry Tsai looks at the HPV vaccine, which was recently recommended for pre-teen boys.
irst and foremost, I want to be clear: my goal is to hear from the student body so that I can be the best advocate that I can be. At the end of the day, despite all of the other tasks that I do, my job is to represent the student voice, and that is exactly what Im going to do. This is a unique year. Our budget lost $100.7 million this year, bringing our total cuts in the last four years to more than $300 million. In the past, weve been able to cut non-academic parts of the University, but now weve lost 500 course sections. Thats 16,000 seats gone at best, students sit on the floor in overcrowded classrooms, and at worst, it will take them extra time to graduate. Our faculty went a fourth year without an increase in salary. These drastic cuts have left the University administration wondering how to ensure that a UNC degree is meaningful anywhere in this world. But before anyone decides what to do, I need to hear from you. As one of 13 members of the Board of Trustees, I have a vote on the tuition proposal. Before I
vote, I need to know what matters most to you. Were emailing student organizations to see if they would be interested in having a member of the executive branch team give a presentation on the budget and tuition. Were having five public forums one each night between Monday and Nov. 11. No policy has been set in stone for next year, and up until the moment that it has, student governments number-one priority is to garner your feedback. Moreover, a college education has never been more important, and UNCs challenge to make college affordable is part of a nation-
al conversation. In a New York Times column on Monday, David Brooks wrote, Over the past several decades, the economic benefits of education have steadily risen. In 1979, the average college graduate made 38 percent more than the average high school graduate, according to the Fed chairman, Ben Bernanke. Now the average college graduate makes more than 75 percent more. Education is essential and ensuring that there is access to higher education is a priority. Thats where the Office of Scholarships and Student Aid comes in. Our dedication to covering the needs of students regardless of tuition increases has been and will continue to be essential. Ultimately, no decision has been made. Take a minute to let me know what you think. Email your thoughts to unctuition@ gmail.com about the cost to students if there is an increase. This is a pivotal moment in the Universitys history, and the decisions made over the next few weeks will define the future. Make your voice heard.
