UNC system releases scrutiny of misconduct


The Board of Governors Academic Review Panel released its final product.
By Nicole Comparato and Daniel Wiser
Senior Writers

The UNC-system Board of Governors independent review of academic misconduct at UNC-CH, released Thursday, mostly agreed with known findings but it raised new concerns among some members about the role of athletic advising.

The boards Academic Review Panel presented its final report to the full board Thursday. In the report, the panel reviewed five other campus-initiated investigations and attributed the misconduct to former Department of African and Afro-American Studies chairman Julius Nyangoro and administrator Deborah Crowder. The most recent review was conducted by former N.C. Gov. Jim Martin, who presented his results at a Dec. 20 UNC Board of Trustees special meeting. The report showed irregular classes in the department that dated back as far as 1997.

It was like the chairman had a fiefdom and he was the king and no one was looking at what the king was doing, said panel member Jim Deal. Not all board members were convinced by the panels report. Board member Burley Mitchell said the role of athletics advisers should be scrutinized more. You dont wind up with 45 percent of the students in classes like this being drawn from 5 percent of the student body by random. They were guided, he said, referring to the proportion of student athletes in 172 total anomalous courses found since fall 2001.

The report suggests academic counselors in the Academic Support Program for Student Athletes steered student athletes into courses during the periods under review without knowing they were anomalous. But other board members, including David Young, said the recommendations in the report allayed their concerns. Recommendations include using technology to track suspicious clustering in courses and ensuring that student-athletes meet with nonathletic academic advisers annually. Im not concerned from an athletic

Student hit by car on Duke Energy proposes MLK Tuesday night third rate hike in 4 years
Accident causes concern about new crosswalk installation.
By Sam Fletcher
Staff Writer

A UNC student was hit by a car Tuesday night while crossing the street at the intersection of Weaver Dairy Road and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, fueling concerns about the safety of pedestrians on one of Chapel Hills most heavily trafficked roads. The student, John Ward, showed no signs of serious external injury, but he was taken to UNC Hospitals for an evaluation, said Sgt. Josh Mecimore, spokesman for the Chapel Hill Police Department. The incident was reported at 8:32 p.m. Tuesday, according to Chapel Hill police reports. Ward said he does not remember the incident. I really cant recall anything about the accident at the time due to amnesia caused by a

concussion from the accident, Ward said in a Facebook message. After hitting Ward, the driver briefly continued driving until she reached a parking lot where she turned around and then returned to the scene, Mecimore said. The driver was cited for failing to stop her vehicle after striking a pedestrian. Mecimore said the responsibility to stop immediately after an accident falls on the driver. He added that the driver involved in the incident will be appearing in court for the citation. Mecimore said the police department does not suspect the driver was under the influence of alcohol or drugs. In the past week, two residents have complained to the Chapel Hill Town Council about the intersection. In emails to the council, Tom Loughrey and Rich Godfrey both said they think the street is hazardous.

Duke Energy is proposing another increase in electric rates meaning residents and local governments could face their third round of rate hikes since 2009. The N.C. Utilities Commission will consider the proposed average rate hike of 9.7 percent, which could raise residents average monthly bills by about $14. If approved, the rate hike could go into effect as early as this fall. The University buys about 80 percent of its electricity from Duke Energy for about $35 million annually, said Philip Barner, UNCs interim director of energy services. University departments, including UNC Hospitals and on-campus housing, were warned in the fall about rising electricity

ttention, those of you who hope to cap off your college careers with a sparkly ring pay attention to your significant others drinking habits if you dont want to end up alone and back to square one down the road. (Also, re-evaluate your priorities.) A new study says married couples who drink about the same amount are less likely to divorce than couples in which one person enjoys alcohol much more than the other. Even more dangerous in couples where the woman was the heavier drinker, the divorce rate was 26.8 percent. In a more inspiring study, though, it was found that alcohol mixed with diet soda gets you more drunk, even when you cant feel it happening. So what does all this tell us? Go drink for drink and youll be just fine.

TEDxUNC tickets sell out and leave waiting list


The tickets sold out in minutes and 500 people are on the waiting list.
By Hunter Toro
Staff Writer

Within four minutes of their release, tickets for the 2013 TEDxUNC conference sold out, leaving 500 people on the waiting list. Co-founder and co-director Rachel Myrick said this years TEDxUNC has grown substantially from last year in terms of scale. The location was changed from the FedEx Global Education Center to Memorial Hall to allow for a larger audience.

In general, were feeling more excited this year. Theres been an incredible response from campus, Myrick said. Were fully booked even though its 9 a.m. on a Saturday morning for college students. Senior Alex Almeter, director of finance for the organizing committee, said this years growth has essentially caused the cost of the conference to double from last year. In order to accommodate the large number of those interested, organizers turned to technological outlets. Saturdays TEDxUNC conference will feature a live stream on the website live.tedxunc.com to make the talk accessible to larger numbers. It will also be streamed to projectors in Carroll Hall and potentially the

Student Union, Myrick said. There was a strong demand for the live stream capability, said TEDxUNC co-founder and codirector Mackenzie Thomas. Thus we recognized that we were able to expand so incredibly this year. Organizers have also created a mobile app for the event to allow attendees a deeper engagement in the conference. It provides access to the conferences agenda and speaker biographies, as well as the integration of TEDxUNC social media. Despite rising costs, the event still remains free. This is in compliance with the TEDx contract, and organizers said its part of their personal philosophies. We believe the event should be free as it allows a greater access

to the talk and spreading the mission of the ideas of the conference, Almeter said. Myrick attributed much of the success of the conference to the efforts of the organizing groups. The collective hours of work are quite a lot, but its fortunate that we have so many different strengths and skill sets that we can bring to the table, she said. While Myrick said she believes all of the talks will be excellent, she is most looking forward to hearing

UNC senior Stirling Littles talk on gender harassment in video games, entitled Excuse me, Princess. Im really excited for that moment where he gets to shine in front of all of his peers, she said. Organizers said they have high hopes for this years conference and that the talks will continue as an annual event at UNC. Its really stressful but also very exhilarating to see all of the pieces fall into place at a time where most of us have slept very little and eaten very little, Thomas said. But its all for the greater good of the conference were feeling very strong. Contact the desk editor at university@dailytarheel.com.

Documentary brings attention to dance at UNC


By Lauren Clark
Staff Writer

UNC students are choreographing a movement to promote dance at UNC. Led by sophomore Wynton Wong, students are developing the Carolina Dance Documentary Project, aiming to showcase dancers at UNC and encourage Chancellor Holden Thorp to allocate more money to dance groups and establish a dance minor. Wong, a communication studies major, said she is organizing the project because dance at the University is neglected despite the existence of numerous dance groups, highly experienced dancers and courses, she said. We have really talented dancers here who could easily be professional, Wong said. But they have chosen to attend UNC. Despite high student enthusiasm for dance and suitable on-campus facilities, Wong said, many dancers believe UNCs opportunities are lacking by not offering a dance minor. Wong said Duke University offers a minor, although there is less student demand there. Wong said she hopes this docu-

mentary will demonstrate why dance is important to UNC. Christine Allison, a dancer in Inversions Modern Dance Company and a performer in Wongs documentary, said the project will provide an opportunity for all dancers to collaborate and add strength to the campaign for a minor. A huge reason this campaign has not yet succeeded is through lack of organization between all of the (dance) groups on campus, she said. Wong said the documentary project has thus far received a positive response. We had a meeting last week and will hold another couple of meetings soon, she said. Wong said she plans to include as many different dance groups and genres as possible. While the documentary will focus on one group at a time, there are suggestions for a huge Bollywood-style finale involving all who participated. Filming is due to start next week at a variety of locations around campus. The project will initially be broadcast online as a weekly interview-based Web series, with a full length version to be released in April.

Wong said she believes the documentary will serve to encourage more students to become involved. It is hard to show that dance at UNC exists and that it is accessible, Wong said. Wong said the project has received no funding or official University support and will be shot entirely by a small crew of volunteers. All dancers, crew and music featured will be products of students, she said. Allison said she hopes the documentary will help the University place more importance on the dance community. The dance community is so hidden, she said. Only the people who are passionate about it really get involved. Sarah Bird, another dancer in Inversions, said she is excited about the documentary because it will showcase lesser-known dance groups. As a dancer and freshman at UNC I think theres a lot of great, mostly undiscovered dance groups, she said. It will definitely heighten the profile of dance at UNC. Contact the desk editor at arts@dailytarheel.com.

DTH: Anything else youd like

MK: Being the mayor of Chapel Hill and Ive said this before is an extraordinary honor and I feel so grateful that Ive had this opportunity. It also comes with some great obligations and responsibilities. Chapel Hill is a relatively small town. The brand of our town is very, very big. There are expectations for Chapel Hill to demonstrate leadership on a number of issues: environmental protection, social equity, social justice and equality. Im looking forward to continuing to keep Chapel Hill a leader on those issues.

Kevin Claybren pins a red felt patch to his jacket every day to symbolize the ability of students to affect change. Claybren, who is running for student body president, said he has been an activist since the first moment he arrived at UNC. My first year at Carolina, I was a volunteer for the LGBTQ Center and thats when I really started seeing the inequality and injustice on this campus, he said. The junior is a womens and gender studies major and hopes to eventually become a law school professor. Claybren gained notoriety last year for spearheading the successful gender-neutral housing campaign. When he was advocating for the option, he said he noticed people really started rallying around the idea after Mary Cooper, then the student body president, wrote the first letter of support that he received. It showed that the student body has the power to really engage the

community, he said. He has worked with student government but said he has never actually worked within student government. I bring a sense of critical thinking and also a different way of looking at student government a new face, a new perspective, Claybren said. Matt Hickson, Claybrens campaign volunteer coordinator, said the campaign is unique because it is based on a platform of student power. Most students dont feel a lot of times that theyre engaged in student government, he said. This campaign was designed to reverse that. Claybren said his STUDENT unique experiences GOVERNMENT put him in position ELECTIONS to be student body president. Ive worked with students, staff and administration around gender non-specific housing options, he said. Claybren served on the Provosts Committee on LGBTQ Life, and he said he knows how to navigate and work with administrators, staff and faculty to make things happen. It gives me the opportunity to still really be student-focused and centered but have the ability and knowledge to work effectively with faculty, administration and staff, Claybren said.

Terri Phoenix, director of the LGBTQ Center, said Claybren was a standout with his devoted efforts to gender-neutral housing. Kevin is awesome at coalition building on campus and across the state of North Carolina, Phoenix said. He did a phenomenal job at cultivating relationships with a lot of different groups of people, and I think that that was instrumental in the success of the gender-neutral housing campaign. Claybren said he wants to be the microphone for students whose voices arent being heard on campus. But he said even though he is standing up for the students whose issues are less talked about, he is not just targeting these specific groups. He is committed to engaging in social justice work from an intersectional identities and coalition-building framework, Phoenix said. His mother, Monique Claybren,

dth/hunter horton Kevin Claybren has a platform that is based on student power. He has never before worked in student government.

said that as an activist, when Claybren sees something wrong, he speaks up. Im very proud of him, not just for running for student body president, but for all of the accomplishments that he has made, Monique Claybren said. Im the proudest mother on Earth.

Universities sign letter for gun control reform


By Hayley Fowler
Staff Writer

Colleges and universities are among the multitude of groups inserting themselves into the national debate on changing gun laws. Since December, presidents from hundreds of institutions have signed an open letter to President Barack Obama urging action on gun laws. As of Thursday night,

North Carolina institutions Davidson College, Wake Forest University, Meredith College and Louisburg College have signed the letter. The letter pushes for legislation that would ban carrying concealed weapons on campuses, improve background checks required to purchase guns and ban some semi-automatic weapons. The time has long since passed for silence Hatchell said. A picture of the scoreboard after UNCs 1994 title game hangs behind Hatchells desk, as a testament to her hatred of losing and her belief in her players. UNC trailed Louisiana Tech 59-57 with 0.7 seconds left to play. Hatchells competitive spirit took over there would be no overtime. We went for the three, Hatchell said. We didnt go for the tie. We went for the win. Thats just my personality. Hatchell put the ball in the hands of junior forward Charlotte Smith, who would later serve as an assistant coach at UNC from 2002-11. This is a national championship game on the line, and she chooses me to take the shot, Smith said. Im not the best 3-point shooter on the team. That moment in time totally transformed how I saw cate for rate concessions, said Paul Meyer, the groups director of governmental affairs. The league was approached by local leaders who felt the proposed rate increases were an unfair burden for cities and taxpayers, he said. The town of Chapel Hill will join the program, said John Richardson, the towns sustainability officer. Chapel Hills budget for electricity from Duke Energy for the next fiscal year is about $1.1 million. The proposed increase would cost

and inaction on the issue of reasonable and rational gun safety legislation, said Lawrence Schall, president of Oglethorpe University, and Elizabeth Kiss, president of Agnes Scott College, in the letter. UNC spokeswoman Susan Hudson said schools in the UNC system, including UNCCH, have joined 359 colleges and universities in supporting an earlier, similar resolution

by the Campaign to Keep Guns Off Campus. But Michael Hammond, legislative counsel for Gun Owners of America, said university presidents efforts would make campuses less safe. I think college presidents, by contributing to that sort of anti-gun frenzy, are increasing the chances of copycat killings going to occur, Hammond said. As of August, 21 states

including North Carolina have a ban on carrying a concealed weapon on campuses, and 23 allow schools to make their own rules. Five states allow concealed weapons on public college campuses. Randy Young, spokesman for the Universitys Department of Public Safety, said guns and gun violence are rare occurrences on campus. But Andy Pelosi, director of the Campaign to Keep

Guns Off Campus, said allowing guns on campuses can produce unintentional consequences. He said it increases armed robberies, suicides and other gun-related crimes. The homicide rate on college campuses is low, he added. For the most part, colleges are safe environments, he said. Contact the desk editor at state@dailytarheel.com.

Sylvia Hatchells march to 900: season records and former players who are head coaches

Now, the three-time National Coach of the Year is ready to thank the people who helped her along the way. Hatchell has vowed to take a gratitude tour after the season. Shell visit everyone who gave her a coaching opportunity, dating back to her first gig at the Talbott School in Talbott, Tenn. Principal Tommy Northern hired her to coach seventh- and eighth-grade girls while she attended CarsonNewman College. Hatchell is proud that shell return to Talbott the same person a woman who has always hated losing and maintained a balance between faith, family and coaching. I think the greatest compliment that I have heard from a lot of people is that you aint changed a bit,

myself as a player. Senior forward Krista Gross said Hatchell adjusts to her players strengths. She knows how you can play the best, and she puts you in situations where you can be successful, so it makes the town about $76,000 to $79,000 more. Our hope for participation is that there is some benefit to our shared experience, he said. Orange County Water and Sewer Authority has also joined the program. Its annual budget for electricity from Duke Energy is about $1.4 million, and costs would increase by $136,000 if the proposed rate hike passes. The increase could be a burden on residents, particularly those with a low and fixed income, said Bill Rowe,

you more confident as a player, Gross said. Hatchell has won eight ACC championships, and she said she isnt done. The 38-year coach still has five and a half years left on her contract and she hasnt slowed general counsel and director of advocacy for the N.C. Justice Center. Having any increase on living expenses is difficult, and this is a big one, he said. Hall said Duke Energy has programs to assist some customers who have difficulty paying their electricity bills. Theres never a good time to raise rates, Hall said. But we want to remind people that electricity is still a really good value. Junior Maria Castrillon, a public policy major, said she will be more conscious of her energy use if her bill increases. Its not that bad, but then you have to think about how those couple of dollars add up. Contact the desk editor at state@dailytarheel.com.

on the recruiting trail, signing one of 2013s top classes. Smith, who is now the head coach at Elon, said Hatchells impact on her players goes beyond her historic win total. I think the biggest thing is just teaching players how to

be champions in life, Smith said. If you throw all of coach Hatchells wins out the window, you still have such a strong foundation to stand on. Contact the desk editor at sports@dailytarheel.com. Mecimore said he doesnt think pedestrians are hit often on the boulevard. He estimated that fewer than five are hit on road each year. He also said he has not received complaints from the public concerning road safety in the area. I have not, as the public information officer, seen any feedback from the public related to safety concerns in this area of MLK near Weaver Dairy, he said. But Neppalli said he thinks the town could implement more safety measures. He said the town is currently waiting for state approval to install flashing beacons with signs before the crosswalks on the road. Contact the desk editor at city@dailytarheel.com. State Bureau of Investigation, which should conclude by the end of this month. Board Chairman Peter Hans said he will survey board members about the report and consider taking further action if the SBI report uncovers more wrongdoing. Hunter Rawlings, president of the Association of American Universities, will also analyze the relationship between the Universitys athletics and academics, though a time frame is unknown. Yet no matter how many investigations are conducted, panel members acknowledged that some facts about how the scandal transpired might never be revealed. It is still difficult to comprehend why no one came forward effectively to identify and attempt to stop this past academic misconduct, the panel report states. It is frustrating that we may never know. Contact the desk editor at state@dailytarheel.com.

I habitually drive in the right hand lane and have witnessed several incidents where drivers in the left hand lane have not seen the pedestrian, been inattentive or simply decided to drive on, Godfrey said in the email. Loughrey also expressed concerns about the crosswalks on the road. The new crosswalks are going to get someone killed. The idea of the crosswalks is a nice one, but in practicality, they create confusion and danger, he said in his email to the council. Kumar Neppalli, traffic engineer for Chapel Hill, said all crosswalks along the boulevard are in accordance with state standards. previously approached members of the Faculty Athletics Committee about students taking questionable lecture courses and independent studies. Martin said several members of the committee have since said they were never approached and were upset that Martins report implied they ignored these concerns. Martin released a clarification on Feb. 5 which said he did not mean to imply committee members were aware of the issues prior to reports of anomalies, but in hindsight he might have missed an opportunity for inquiring further. We should have talked with more people, I admit that, Martin said in an interview. I guess after four months I was entitled to some haste, but thats an error on our part. We should have gone into that more and found out if there was anybody that had a different view. Although Martin said his work is done, an investigation is still in progress by the

SportsFriday A BITTer BroTHer

rIVAlrY
Younger brother has his older brothers legacy to live up to.
By Max Miceli
Staff Writer

DTH PHoTo illuSTraTion/ erin Hull anD cHriS conway

The word family, as applied to sports teams, refers to the figurative bond created between players and coaches. When the North Carolina lacrosse team uses the term, though, it takes on a more literal meaning. If you look back at the history of the program theres a lot of brothers and family

members that have gone through, coach Joe Breschi said. Thats always been a thing thats unique to Carolina. For brothers Billy and Jimmy Bitter, that Tar Heel legacy lives on, and for the younger brother, that means high expectations. Billy Bitter, who finished his career at UNC in 2011 as one of the programs best attackmen, is now playing professionally for the Rochester Rattlers of Major League Lacrosse.

Jimmy Bitter, a sophomore beginning his second season as a Tar Heel, is attempting to follow in the footsteps of his older brother. But approaching his brothers 99 goals and 76 assists wont be easy for the shifty sharpshooter. Last season, the younger Bitter didnt earn a starting role until halfway through the season. When he did, though, he made an instant impact, finishing the season with 41 points.

Entering his sophomore year, Jimmy Bitter will be competing with more than a stacked Atlantic Coast Conference. Hell be facing the high expectations that come with the Bitter name.

Fencers prepare for trip to Durham


The Tar Heel fencers are fired up to square off with Duke.
By Brandon Chase
Staff Writer

This weekend, members of the North Carolina fencing team have an opportunity that most Tar Heels can only dream of fighting a Blue Devil. The two teams will square off for their annual dual match this weekend in Durham, and coach Ron Miller knows what the historic rivalry series means to his program. We look forward to it all year, Miller said. Its probably the highlight of our season. This will be around the 93rd or 94th time well meet them, and this year our teams are pretty evenly matched, so we are looking forward to a strong competition. Although the Tar Heels hold a heavy lead in the alltime series, Duke has had recent success against UNC. No Tar Heel on the current roster has defeated the Blue Devils. This weekend presents UNCs first and only chance to break the streak this season. To say junior Kacie Albert is fired up about that opportunity may be an understatement. I really think the womens team has an amazing chance to beat Duke this year,

Albert said. Beating Duke in their own home gym is even sweeter. It really goes to show that were Carolina, you know what were about, and were here to beat you. The fencing squad will walk directly past Cameron Indoor stadium and the infamous Krzyzewskiville as they make their way to the meet. Albert said her emotions crescendo as she steps inside Card Gym. Its a certain feeling when you walk in the gym, Albert said. Your school pride really

Sam Austin is, along with the rest of the Tar Heel fencers, looking for his first victory against Duke this weekend.
is overwhelming, and theres just all this Duke stuff everywhere, and you just want to beat Duke. A single dual match consists of 27 fights, nine for each weapon squad foil, epee, and sabre. For the Tar Heels

to take at least 14 for the victory, theyll need to harness their emotion into consistent performances in all three disciplines, Miller said. All year long, weve had every weapon squad have a great day, Miller said. But its been rare that through a whole day, every weapon squad has had a consistent performance. Junior Sam Austin said he knows his team will need some intense willpower to outlast the Blue Devils. Its going to be all about focus, because we definitely

have the team to beat them, Austin said. I feel our team is much stronger than them, so we just have to stay focused the entire time were there. Miller believes this years team is primed and ready to take down its hated rivals and re-take its position as the leader in the storied rivalry.

They rarely, in recent history, respect us the way they do some of the other teams, Miller said. But anytime you have any sport competing Carolina-Duke, its always a toss up, and this year in particular, were ready. Contact the desk editor at sports@dailytarheel.com.

All-American as a freshman. Billy Bitter wasnt. Jimmy Bitter conceded that he isnt quite on his brothers level, though. Hes proven himself already, Jimmy Bitter said. I havent proven myself yet. Billy Bitter was surprised to hear of his brothers humility. He was on the front cover of Inside Lacrosse (Magazine) senior year in high school, Billy Bitter said. Everybody knew about him and a lot of college coaches were trying to get him. Breschi said he wouldnt say whether one was better than the other yet.

SportsFriday
Theyre both very dynamic players, Breschi said. At the end of Jimmys career, Ill tell you who was better. One thing Breschi and the brothers did agree on was that the pair each has his own strengths. Jimmy Bitter takes credit for having a better shot, but he said his older brother is more apt at dodging. Billy Bitter agreed and said that he wished he had worked on developing his shot early in his career, as his brother did. He has a very good, very hard outside shot, he said. Scoring from outside is something that will be huge for him in his career.

Sophomore season
In his freshman season, Jimmy Bitter surpassed what his brother accomplished in his own freshman campaign. But this season is different. In order to keep up with his brother, the youngest Bitter will have to match his older brothers All-American sophomore season, in which he scored the third-most points in a season in UNC history 71. Its all up to him. Hes got to push himself, Billy Bitter said. Its a little bit tougher on him. He said his younger brother is capable, but because of success as a freshman, the pressure will be more intense.

sumed by competition, but when it comes to picking the better player among the two, neither brother is prepared to stake his claim. Billy Bitter said that being the youngest in a family of six helped his younger brother mature faster than he did. I hate to admit it, but he is a better player than me, the older Bitter said. Hes done a lot more with his career than I had done at this point. The younger Bitter was named an honorable mention

Theres a lot of brothers and family members that have gone through.
Joe Breschi,
mens lacrosse coach

Jimmy Bitter will have to share the ball with the rest of UNCs attack this year while facing increased attention from opposing defenses, something Billy Bitter didnt face as much early in his UNC career. Coaches always told me, You can be a stand out player, which is something I never

dreamt about, Billy Bitter said. I never even thought Id be a starter. After many extra hours of film sessions and shooting practice, Billy Bitter earned a starting job and became an integral part of the Tar Heels offense. A year like that might be less surprising for Jimmy Bitter, but to him, beating UNCs opponents is more important. Im not going to say Ill be a first team All-American, Jimmy Bitter said. Really, the main goal is to win. Contact the desk editor at sports@dailytarheel.com.

Coach Donna Papa said she believes her players are ready, but she also knows that the switch from preseason practices to games can take a toll on the players. Its the same for everybody, which is a good thing, Papa said. But its hard. She said the pitchers will have the roughest transition, because theyve been held to pitching four innings at most in the preseason blue-white scrimmages. The Tar Heel bullpen is full of returning pitchers, among them junior Lori Spingola, the 2012 ACC Pitcher of the year, and only one freshman. In August, assistant coach

Tony Baldwin joined the Tar Heel staff after two years at the University of Georgia. Baldwin primarily serves as a hitting and infield coach, and players have already noticed improvement under his tutelage. Hes given us a whole different outlook, senior infielder Haleigh Dickey said. Hes really helped us as far as our offensive game goes. I think weve improved that a ton. The improvements have led to higher expectations within the team for the 2013 season. North Carolina lost to Georgia in the regional round of the NCAA Tournament last season, leaving the players and coaches wanting more. We want to take that next big step, which is superregionals, Papa said. We want to be better than we were last year. Good is the enemy of great. In the ACC preseason

coaches poll, UNC was selected to finish first, which Papa has mixed feelings about. Were predicted to finish first thats a big target now on our back, Papa said. I like the underdog role of climbing up and sneaking up on people. Its nice that the coaches feel that way, but everybody says its not how you start, its how you finish. While the Tar Heels seem intent on finishing strong, they face a tough challenge early in the season, playing No. 10 Louisiana State twice this weekend. But the players arent worried. I feel like this year is the year its going to happen, junior outfielder Amy Nece said. I think everyones on the same page. Were ready to take on all challenges and prove to everyone out there that were the team to beat. Contact the desk editor at sports@dailytarheel.com.

U.S. needs a middle ground for education
TO THE EDITOR: I agree 100 percent that critical thinking and communication skills gained through a liberal arts education are, as one said, invaluable. These are skills that are desirable to most jobs. But the fact of the matter is that the United States has long been promoting this college for everyone notion, and what it has ultimately done is supersaturated the U.S. workforce with overqualified, if you will, job seekers. The sad fact of the matter is that America has created this false, ugly mindset that everyone needs a college degree and that technical degrees are inferior. What we need is to find a middle ground between promoting vocational educations and the college for everyone movement that is occurring today.

ou might have noticed that folks around Chapel Hill are paying a lot more attention to the governorship nowadays. While Id like to think that people heeded my advice and decided to pay more attention to state and local politics, Im afraid its only because theres an R after Pat McCrorys name and many have taken up the role of loyal opposition. Dont get me wrong Im glad the people and the press are remaining vigilant watchdogs over an elected official. And McCrory was, of course, wrong to presume that he can, as a government official, magically determine which academic disciplines are legitimate, what jobs are needed and which butts should fill them. But heres the problem: We should be vigilant of elected officials no matter what letter comes after their name. If we truly believe in the principles we claim to live by, we should hold politicians accountable regardless of if theyre in our party or not. In a Justice Department white paper leaked this week, the Obama administration provides legal justification for the killing of suspected terrorists, even American citizens, in extremely vague language. Any high-ranking official, not just the president, has the extra-constitutional power to authorize targeted killings of those who pose an imminent threat of violent attack against the United States. Upon further reading, we find out that what constitutes an imminent threat is the possibility that maybe one day, a long time from now, the person could potentially think about posing a threat. This is scary stuff. But it really shouldnt surprise anyone; this is part of a trend. And yet Ive heard few Obama supporters utter the words Guantanamo and Bay in about four years, although the prison remains open. Any honest progressive would tell you the PATRIOT Act is an egregious attack on the Fourth Amendment, and yet this policy has quietly continued. I havent even mentioned the National Defense Authorization Act, TSA or drone programs. When the Bush administration was stepping outside the bounds of the Constitution, the country was up in arms. Americans paid attention, as best as we could, to what our government was doing. Many took to the streets. But what hope is there when even this countrys progressive party remains silent while the Obama administration quietly institutionalizes Bush-era civil liberties violations? For example, John Brennan, who oversaw the Bush-era enhanced interrogations and the Obama drone strike program is now the nominee to lead the CIA. Even if you especially trust this president (its dangerous to trust any politician), were setting up a scary precedent. When someone we support is elected, its even more important to take off the partisan glasses and remain just as critical. If you elected someone to do something, hold their feet to the fire and make sure they follow through on their promises. Thanks, Obama.

Smith deserves honor


n the We the People website, Americans can request official action from the White House by creating and signing a petition. One petition exists that every student, alumnus, family and friend of UNC should sign: the petition requesting President Barack Obama award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Dean Smith. Given the number of Smiths peers who have received the medal, its

clear that this would be a meaningful way for Obama a self-described sucker for the Tar Heels to honor the legendary coach and humanitarian. Dean Smith amassed a then-record 879 career wins and two national championships. However, it is not his countless hours spent on the recruiting trail or on the court that make him deserving. While his statistics are astounding, it is what the Hall of Famer did off the court that makes him worthy of the United States most prestigious civilian honor. Well ahead of his time, Smith used his position to

advocate for human and civil rights. He recruited UNCs first black scholarship athlete, and helped desegregate Chapel Hill. Smith staunchly advocated against the death penalty. Many of his former players have called him a second father, and his mentorship of these young Tar Heels led to his players having a 96 percent graduation rate. Smith has been retired since 1997, but it would be hard to find a UNC fan that wouldnt recognize him. His impact on the community and state still resonates 16 years since he last coached.

Shortbread Lofts should keep its Northside promise.

arry Short, developer of the studentoriented apartment complex Shortbread Lofts, is reaching out to residents of the Northside community and offering them jobs constructing the complex. Shortbread Lofts should be commended for combining economic growth with community engagement. Its essential that the University and the town work together to make

sure that the residents who call Chapel Hill home arent neglected when new businesses come to town. Not only is Short publicly reaching out to the members of the Northside community for hiring opportunities, but qualified workers from that neighborhood will be given priority for available positions. Some jobs will last from six months to a year while others could go on longer. Also, bringing a student-oriented housing complex to the downtown area might preserve the neighborhood, preventing homes that have his-

torically been owned by Northside residents from being adapted into student rental housing. There are many people who live in the Northside community who are either unemployed or underemployed. These job offers can make a difference in these peoples lives and their community. However, Shortbread Lofts must not promise these opportunities to citizens and not follow through with them. Ignoring a community is bad, but lying to a community would be far worse.

Water-energy nexus
Global Sustainability Symposium prompts discussion and action.

cOlUmn

ow much water does it take to drive your car for one mile? How much energy was used to make your bottle of water? This is not how we typically think about our water and energy use, but perhaps we should. Thirteen percent of U.S. electricity is used in the transport, treatment and heating of water for everything from providing your eight cups a day, to growing crops, to flushing toilets. On the other side of the equation, energy production worldwide requires a substantial amount of water, second only to agriculture. In the U.S., coal, oil, gas and nuclear energy production accounts for 39 percent of all freshwater withdrawals. Natural gas production methods such as fracking can use up to 144 million gallons of water per fracking well equivalent to more than 200 Olympic-size swimming pools. There are half a million active wells in the U.S. alone. UNC recognizes the

importance of this connection between water and energy. This week, leaders from across the University have come together with global experts, businesses, civic leaders and students to examine the water-energy nexus at the Global Sustainability Symposium, Water and Energy in the Crosshairs. Jessica Thomas, managing director of the Kenan-Flagler Business Schools Center for Sustainable Enterprise, said the goal of the conference is to support UNCs mission of improving society and solving global problems. Given its expertise in both

fields, UNC is an ideal venue to stimulate discussion about the water-energy nexus and drive the movement forward. Felix Dodds, a key player in the Rio+20 Conference on Sustainable Development, was on campus this week as a guest lecturer in the water themes featured course. Dodds is confident in UNCs potential to be a leader in the field, noting individuals such as Jamie Bartram, director of the UNC Water Institute, who was also the chairman of UN-Water. The water space here is one to build on, and theres also an energy space here, Dodds said. As long as water and energy remain cheap and seem abundant, the two resources and their intersection will be largely ignored. But a population growing in size and wealth places pressure on our increasingly vulnerable water and energy supplies. By the way, it takes equal amounts of energy and water to drive that mile as it does to make that bottle of water.
