Town to sell

AN EYE FOR JUSTICE

Fleet Feet used to occupy

the space before it moved
to 300 East Main.

Staff Writer

Carrboro is looking to hire a real

estate firm to sell the town-owned
property above the Acme Food &
Beverage Co.
The Board of Aldermen officially
declared the space located at 110
East Main St. surplus and no
longer necessary for town use.
Bethany Chaney, a member of
the Carrboro Board of Aldermen,
said the board has directed staff to
move forward with the sale. The
towns next step will be to hire a
real estate agent to list the property
and filter through various bids.
We have no preferences regarding what the space will be used for,
Chaney said. Our responsibility is
to ensure that we get the most value
out of the property as possible.
Kevin Callaghan, the owner
of Acme, said the restaurant has
been around for 17 years, so it
is unlikely that a new business
would interfere with the restaurants success.
Nonetheless, he said the ideal
business would be open for day
hours, in contrast to Acme, which is
only open during the evening.
You could have all of these
fantasies about what you would
like to see happen with the space,
Callaghan said. However, by
and large in Carrboro, most businesses will have similar models
and goals.
Until November, the property
housed the headquarters of Fleet
Feet Sports, a local athletic apparel
company, on a lease purchased by
the town. The business had several
offices spread out across the town
and was looking to consolidate.
The town originally purchased
the property above Acme to

The Carrboro Police Department drafted a new policy requiring officers to wear body cameras. Officers cars are already equipped with dashboard cameras.

Local police hope body cameras will better protect ocers

By Maggie Monsrud
Staff Writer

The Chapel Hill and Carrboro

police departments have started
discussing the implementation of
body cameras to supplement the
in-vehicle cameras the two departments already have in place.
Capt. Chris Atack, spokesman for the Carrboro Police
Department, said the department
has started testing body cameras
for its officers.
Our interest in them predated
all the incidents in Ferguson, he
said, referring to Michael Brown,
an unarmed black teen who was
shot dead by police in August.
Browns death spurred nationwide

protests in the fall.

Our interest in them was to
establish some way to definitively
determine what actually occurred if
we received a complaint on an officer, Atack said.
Lt. Josh Mecimore, a spokesman
and the person in charge of investigating and maintaining internal
affairs records for the Chapel Hill
Police Department, said they also
began testing body cameras thanks
to an improvement in technology.
Its something weve been looking into for some time, but the technology wasnt that great, he said.
Both Carrboro and Chapel Hill
police departments currently have
in-vehicle cameras and microphones on the officers, which are

automatically turned on any time

the vehicles emergency lights are
activated. This could include incidents such as traffic stops, transportation of prisoners and pursuits
of suspects on foot or in vehicles.
Last spring, Carrboro police
began drafting a policy for the invehicle cameras and implemented
the policy in September. Chapel Hill
already had a policy set in place.
Anytime youre going to implement a policy, program or equipment, you need to have some sort
of structure, Atack said.
Sammy Slade, a member of
Carrboros Board of Aldermen,
said body camera testing and policy development is a process that
should be carefully analyzed.

Wind rips railing off Kenan Hall

The balcony railing fell off
Saturday night.

Howling gusts of 40-mph wind hit

campus hard Saturday night and
parts of Kenan Residence Hall blew
away in the storm.
A railing for a second-floor balcony
on the hall was blown off by the gusts
Saturday night.
Junior Madison Scace, who lives on the
first floor of Kenan, said she was in the
first-floor TV room when the railing fell.
It was pretty windy, but I didnt hear
it fall or anything. I went out there, and
the community director and the RAs
were moving it off to the side, and they
had to tape the door so people wouldnt
go out that way, she said.
Scace said she was surprised by the
force of the wind.
The railing was just on the ground by
the steps, and it was just halfway missing,
she said. I guess I wasnt really scared,
just more surprised because it was weird,
and I wasnt expecting that to happen.
Paige Abe, the community director
for Kenan Residence Hall, declined to
comment for this story. She forwarded
inquiries to Rick Bradley, director of the

In the rush to get them, there

are a lot of things we need to look
at, he said. We just want to go
slow and do it the right way, given
that there isnt much practice on it.
Slade said the town will look
into providing money for the body
cameras when the towns budget is
finalized in June.
People in the community recognize the value and how it can
change the way in which investigation happens, he said.
Mecimore said the implementation of body cameras in Chapel
Hill is also dependent on how
much they cost and if there is
room in the budget.

Education, who did not respond to
requests for comment on Sunday.
Sophomore Kelly Whalen, who lives
on the second floor of Kenan, said she
was not in the building when the railing
was blown off.
Its like a balcony railing, but its a
balcony thats not accessible from the
room, so its really just decoration, she
said. It looked rotted, so Im guessing
it was just the wind that caused it to fall.

Whalen said she does not think anyone was injured when the railing fell.
The Kenan Community seemed to be
taking steps to make sure nobody got
hurt, she said.
There was a little bit of caution tape
around the entrance of Kenan when we
arrived, and a couple minutes later, the
whole area was blocked off, she said.

eres an interesting school assignment: eighth-grade students at Monesson Middle School in Pennsylvania were
given word search puzzles that had a not-so-G-rated
theme. The words the students were supposed to find
were of the erotic nature and based on Fifty Shades of Grey. The school
district is now investigating how and why the puzzles were given to students. One board member said the puzzles were passed out by mistake.
Were not really sure what the teacher was doing with ready-made erotic
word searches in the first place, but OK. Maybe the teacher was trying
to search for exotic word searches and made a dangerous typo. But one
thing remains to be decided: whether that teacher is 50 shades of fired.
NOTED. Amy, a 5-month-old indoor pig
from Seattle, is experiencing success in an
unusual arena. Amy, an unlikely student in
a dog agility class, has already graduated
from a puppy manners class and is beginning to study agility and obedience training, right in step with her canine peers.
Thatll do, pig; thatll do.

The annual Historic Thousands on Jones Street march drew crowds to Raleigh
Compiled by Sarah Brown, Nick Niedzwiadek, Corey Risinger, Marisa Bakker and Lindsey Brunson
State & National Senior Writers

DTH/JOHANNA FEREBEE
Thousands gather on Jones Street in downtown Raleigh Saturday for the annual HKonJ march. Environmental protection, marijuana legalization and LGBT rights were among the subjects protested.

Returning to
rally each year
Many participants in
Saturdays Historic Thousands
on Jones Street march have
come to the event year after
year some rallying for a particular issue, others condemning state policies in general.
Bill Adams, a former teacher
from Raleigh, has come to the
rally for the past few years in
support of womens rights, a
living wage, Medicaid expansion and increased funding for
public schools, among numerous issues.
I taught for 41 years, and
we need to stop taking money
away from public schools and
funding the vouchers, he said.
Old men have no right to tell
women what to do with their
bodies.
Adams said he got so fed up,
he recently moved to England.
I ran away from this underfunded country.
Randy Voller, former chairman of the North Carolina
Democratic Party, said hes also
a regular attendee. Voller said
hes been supporting the event
since it started in 2007, advocating for a range of causes.

These are not partisan

issues; these are issues that are
good for all North Carolinians
expanding voting rights,
expanding Medicaid, public
education these are things
we should all care about.
Paul Gurewitz, a resident of
Marshall, said he feels the state
has been taken over by a group
of political cohorts, and he sees
the rally as an attempt by the
people to get rid of cronyism in
politics.
I moved here 40 years
ago when North Carolina was
considered one of the more
progressive states, especially
in the South, and now were
sort of the laughingstock of the
country, he said.
Also in the crowd were students from El Centro Hispano,
a Durham-based group dedicated to helping the Hispanic
population in the area. Many of
them were attending the rally
for the first time.
They are very young, said
Silvio Balcazar, a director in
the center. They are growing
into this community, and they
have the right to speak.

taxes, then raise the wages.

Smoker said hed also like to
see immigrants who are living
and working in the U.S. have
an easier path to citizenship.
Already they are working,
and lets make their work
legitimate and equal so that
they can fully benefit like the
rest of us citizens, he said.
Part of the plight of workers
here stems from the fact that
North Carolina is a right-towork state, which takes away
the incentives for state workers to unionize, Wells said.
Were fighting collectively
with our brothers and sisters
who are state employees as
well, she said.
UNC sophomore Catherine
Blalock toted a poster combining puns on 50 Shades of
Grey and the 2015 State of
the Union, when President
Barack Obama discussed
equal pay for women.
Hearing the stat that
women lose $420,000 over
their working life because of
the equality gap in pay, thats
just something I felt strongly
about, she said.

She still takes cannabis oil
every day and just passed her
six-month cancer checkup.
My doctor rubbed me on
the head and said, Are you still
taking that cannabis oil? and I
said, Yes, maam, she said.
House Bill 78, filed on
Wednesday, would create a
state medical marijuana program. Patients would apply
for a medical marijuana card,
consult with their doctor to
determine the right strain for
their condition and be monitored while taking the drug.
Anita Budsak, a nurse from
Concord and leader of her local
N.C. NORML chapter, said
shes hopeful that this years
version of the bill will pass.
Budsak said she understands that state officials want
to test marijuana at the medical level before full legalization.
But shed like to see recreational marijuana become a reality.
Its OK to drink it up,
booze it up all night, go home
so drunk you dont know who
you are, but God forbid you
light up a joint.

Though the economy has

workers have seen their
wages struggling to keep up

One of the most common
refrains from Saturdays march
was the need for a living wage
of at least $15 an hour.
Angie Wells, a member of
the Communication Workers
of America union in Charlotte,
said a campaign called Raise
Up is leading the push to
increase the federal minimum
wage and advocate for more
union rights.
We all know once theres
collective bargaining in the
workplace, the minimum wage
is just the beginning, she said.
Art Smoker, a retired pastor
from Mars Hill, said hes signed
multiple petitions in favor of
raising the minimum wage.
It does not make sense for
us to not be paying a living
wage and then our taxes are
making up the differences,
he said. If people want fewer

Passionate medical marijuana supporters from across

There are no negatives
to legalizing medical marijuana, said Ignacio Almazan,
a Fuquay-Varina resident and
leader of the Triangle chapter
of N.C. NORML, a pro-legalization group. He said a legal
medical market will yield tax
revenue that can be invested in
education and other priorities.
State lawmakers will discuss
medical marijuana on Tuesday
at a hearing at the N.C. General
Assembly, Almazan said, where
doctors will speak alongside
cancer survivor Rebecca Forbes
of Fuquay-Varina.
After Forbes was diagnosed

herself with cannabis oil for

men that are making decisions with no female input at
all, she said.

is focusing on crisis pregnancy centers, which she said
pose as medical centers but
dont offer abortions or abortion referrals.
(They) seek to pull people
in who are looking for those
services and try to persuade
them to not get an abortion,
she said. Look them up
they are really gross.
She said her group is also
pushing for comprehensive sex
education in public schools.
(Its important to have)
access to not only how to use
a condom, but also if youre
not in a heterosexual relationship, how do you have safe
sex? she said. Right now, its

Charlotte hosts veterans event

ECU medical school at risk

Appalachian efficiency lauded

Juicy J coming to Western

UNC-Charlotte is holding a conference aimed at

assisting veterans with the
transition back into civilian life on Feb. 24.
The conference is
focused on raising awareness and attending to the needs of service
members and their families, said Christine
Elnitsky, chairwoman of the schools Academy
for Veteran and Military Health. There are
over two million veterans coming back from
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and many will
need help returning to normalcy as well as
getting an education.
It is a free public event open to the community. The event is funded by the Chancellors
Diversity Challenge Fund at UNC-C.
There will be a poster section and art exhibit, which includes work from students, as well
as two keynote speakers: Ilario Pantano, director of the N.C. Division of Veterans Affairs, and
Maj. Gen. Marianne Mathewson-Chapman.
Both are veterans.
North Carolina has the third largest active
military force in the nation, said Elnitsky.
This is about helping our veterans who may
become students in the UNC system be successful in their academic endeavors.

Due to budget cuts,

the Brody School
of Medicine at East
Carolina University
one of just two medical
schools in the state is
facing financial woes.
ECU Chancellor Steve Ballard made comments to WNCT suggesting that the medical school could close in the next five years,
though he clarified his comments on Tuesday.
Paul Cunningham, dean of the medical
school, said he doesnt see the school closing.
Over time the budget derived from the
state has been diminishing, Cunningham
said. For our mission to remain viable we
would recommend that we have more of an
investment from our state partners.
In 2007, the North Carolina Institute of
Medicine found that, without a significant
increase in the number of physicians, the
state is likely to face a severe shortage of doctors in the next 20 years.
We train doctors and have an enormous
track record for keeping them in the state,
he said. It is a formula we have always used.
We remain optimistic, he added. We are
also running a business, so we need to seek
support, partnership and investment.

U.S. News and World

Report recently ranked
Appalachian State
University as the most
efficient among regional
schools in the southeast meaning that it
achieved a solid academic experience while
spending relatively less.
The inclusion in their list of efficient
universities is just another indication of the
quality education the university provides to
students, said Jane Nicholson, director of
university news at Appalachian.
Appalachian has been able to maintain
relatively small class sizes, Nicholson said,
as well as provide access to updated science labs and equipment and facilities. It
also has a healthy freshman-to-sophomore
retention rate and strong four- and fiveyear graduation rates.
This is just one of many measures
of the value of an Appalachian degree,
Nicholson said.
The university is also succeeding on the
donor front it recently concluded a fundraising campaign that generated more than
$203 million to support academics, arts
and athletics.

Last Minute
Productions has
booked rapper Juicy J
to perform at Western
Carolina University on
Thursday.
Last Minute
Productions is the schools student-run
entertainment provider.
Student tickets are $11 and non-student
tickets are $21.
We looked at our demographics of campus and decided we needed more diversity,
said Temi Adeleye, vice president of programming for Last Minute Productions. We
have had a lot of country in the past so we
wanted to reach out to the hip-hop side.
The concert will be held at the Ramsey
Center at 7 p.m. The group has already sold
about 1,000 tickets but expects to sell many
more, since the concert isnt for another
week and a half, Adeleye said.
Students have been helping the marketing side without us even asking, she
said. We have gone as far as Asheville and
Waynesville to post fliers.

Union splits presidency to get better student involvement

By Brielle Kronstedt
Staff Writer

The Carolina Union Board

of Directors has decided
to split the job of Carolina
Union president into two:
Carolina Union Activities
Board president and chairman or woman of the Union
Board of Directors.
The new role of 2015-16
CUAB president will be filled
by junior Merrick Osborne.
The new chairman of the
Union Board of Directors has
yet to be appointed.
We are splitting the role
so the chair of the Board of
Directors can focus on the
board and the Carolina community, and then the CUAB
board president can focus on
CUAB, said Megan Johnson,
associate director of communications and creative ser-

vices at the Carolina Union.

Current Union president
Gabe Chess, who currently
also presides over the Union
Board of Directors as well as
CUAB, said he believes the
role will be better served by
two people.
Im excited for both areas
to have someone really dedicated to them, Chess said.
I think CUAB especially is
really going to benefit from
having someone who is just
focused on CUAB.
Osborne has already been
on two boards for CUAB and
has developed strong relationships with everyone in the
office, Chess said.
This has been a powerful
experience for me, and thats
something I know I cant
really get anywhere else. Im
looking forward to seeing that
culminate next year, he said.

Osborne said the homecoming concerts in 2013 and

2014 neither of which sold
out were good lessons he
learned from.
Each of them had potential, but theres something
missing. Theres a link missing, and finding that isnt as
easy as saying we need to do
this and we need to do that,
he said.
Chess said Osborne was
chosen out of three highly
qualified candidates.
Merrick is an exceptional
leader who has amazing
relationships across campus,
Chess said. Hes a very wellknown student because he
does build so many close relationships and reaches out to
all kinds of Carolina students.
Osborne said he found a
home in CUAB and is eager to
take on this leadership role.

Thats something that

I get to see every year that
Im here young adults
growing more and becoming
closer to professionals, he
said. Its an experience that
I really cherish.
While he has learned a lot
from Chess, Osborne said he is
hoping to encourage more students to become involved in
CUAB than in previous years.
Were going to give the
committee members more
responsibility in terms of handling money, marketing and
actual involvement within
the planning process for an
event, he said.
Osborne said is working on
opening applications for the
chairman of the Union Board
of Directors and leadership
positions on the board.

intended to keep people from

falling, and she does not think
anyone lives directly underneath the balcony.
Ive seen workmen up
there, but Ive never seen a
student up there, she said.
Sophomore Emily Carrino,
Whalens roommate, said she
was also not present when the
railing fell.
When I looked briefly when
I came back, it looked like the
front part of the railing was
gone, but the sides were still
there. I dont think anything is
still there waiting to fall.

POLICE

would be most beneficial in

any case where there is an
altercation between an officer
and a resident because they
show what truly happened.
Generally speaking, technology is, in fact, improving
law enforcement in very significant ways, Unah said.
Video recording by police
officers does not infringe on
residents rights because this
video recording occurs in the
public domain, he said.
I can record you without
you knowing, and if I give it
to a law enforcement officer,
it would stand up in court,
he said.
Under North Carolina law,
Unah said only one of the parties is required to consent to
the video recording. Officers
are not required to tell drivers
they are being recorded when
they are pulled over.
If a police officer has to
tell you youre being recorded,
I wonder if you would be
likely to be more truthful,
he said. You wouldnt say
anything that would selfincriminate you.
Damon Seils, a member
of the Carrboro Board of
Aldermen, said body cameras
cant solve every problem, but
he fully supports their implementation.
I think police cameras can
present some tensions for the
benefits they provide and the
risks they have on civil liberties,
and its important to develop a
good policy that is beneficial to
both parties, he said.

house Fleet Feet because

the company creates jobs
and improves Carrboros
tax base. More than 60 percent of Carrboro residents
have a bachelors degree or
higher, but the towns biggest
employer is the Harris Teeter
on North Greensboro Street.
Fleet Feet has now moved
into its new space located at
310 E. Main St.
Alderman Damon Seils
said the town worked with
Main Street Properties, the
company that manages the
300 E. Main St. development,
to purchase the office space
for the growing company.
The space (above Acme)
has served its purpose, and
the town really doesnt have
a need for it anymore, Seils
said. Once we get a realtor,
hopefully the bids will start
coming in.
Callaghan said the property above the restaurant was
originally built to hold offices,
offering typical amenities such
as break rooms and extensive
internet connectivity.
But he said he believes
the space would be able to
accommodate most small
businesses.
Its not like buying a house
and trying to open a restaurant, Callaghan said. The
good thing about small businesses is that they are adaptable. They are also usually
compatible.

follow through with everything weve been talking

about, Mateer said.
Although there have been
many bumps on their entrepreneurial journey, Chapman
said he has no doubt the project is worth it.
Weve devoted this much
time to it because were so passionate about it, but that does
mean that weve had to make
sacrifices, Chapman said. Its
exciting to be able to create
something that developed out
of what weve learned in school,
but so much more satisfying
than an assignment, project or
even a masters thesis.
Seal the Seasons members
already have plans for how they
will utilize their newly obtained
grant.
This money will, in
part, go to purchasing the
produce and paying for the
rental of the processing
facility and all the packaging
costs, so we can start selling in Weaver Street Market
next month, Chapman said.
Before winning this prize,
the group had applied to win
many other grants like the
CUBE fund in the Campus Y.
Brown-Graham said she
feels any student group can
achieve this level of success.
We want any student, anywhere in North Carolina, who
has a passion and a vision to
have an opportunity to win this
award, Brown-Graham said.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

We are left, shattered and bewildered by the

senseless loss of three wonderful people who
were on the path to make this a better world.

Jackie OShaughnessy

ou see her every Tuesday

and Thursday, smiling
to greet you. She pats
the desk next to hers, gesturing
for you to sit down. You ask her
what the homework was for
class.
Oh, just to read chapter
three. No worries, though, Ive
got you covered.
She is pleasant. She is timely. She is your class friend.
In an age of classwide Google
documents and listserv emails
from classmates claiming that
their computer really did
crash, and now they dont have
the notes from all of March,
some might assume the class
friend is a dying breed. But I
assure you that with some strategizing, some good luck and a
little bit of magic, you too can
find one of your very own.
Class friends can bring
out the best in you. You learn
together, grow together and
text each other about how awkward your teaching assistant is.
Class friends handle you at
your worst. When youve fallen
out of bed, pulled on sweatpants and panted to your 9
a.m. recitation, they see you sit
down, and they know. Today is
not your day, and group work
is just not on your list of things
to do. They take over the brunt
of the work, understanding
that youd do the same for them
when they traipse into class
with a Gatorade in one hand
and a coffee in the other.
But there exists a rare,
very excellent class friend
known only to those who
have experienced her joy and
never-ending office supplies
as the Mary Poppins of class
friends. She was given this
nickname for her ability to pull
any item you might need out
of her bag. Need a paper clip?
She has one. Need to borrow a
Lenovo charger? Yep, that too.
Need to borrow a stapler? Yes,
Mary even has a stapler. When
youve found your Mary, hang
onto her. Shes a rare one.
Shes always in class, her
laptop is always charged, and
yes, she even did the reading.
Sometimes you wonder if shes a
real person or if shes some sort
of fairy godmother, sent there
to be your guiding light through
French 105. And then, with the
very last exam, just like that
shes gone.
You both intuitively understand the class friend arrangement. Youll see her the next
semester, ask her how her
summer was and both pretend
to plan a lunch that you each
know wont happen. Later, you
can write on her wall for her
birthday or text her an inside
joke about your professor, but
Id advise you to be hesitant
when you start to think about
taking things to the next level.
If theres no spark left within
two weeks of the end of the
semester, it will not happen.
Never. I know; Im sorry.
Although youll probably only share a semester
of laughs and group work
together, youll always
remember being there for
each other during some of
the most trying times of
your lives. Tess, well always
have French 105. Jordan,
well always have History
128. Bailey, well always have
public relations campaigns.
Thank you for your class
friendship. May we wave at
each other in public forever
(or until that eventually fades
into us not talking at all).

he turnout for the

first round of this
years election for
student body president
was the lowest in over a
decade, and more than 10
percent of votes cast were
write-ins for writer Zora
Neale Hurston. This years
candidates did little to
distinguish themselves on
matters of particular concern to this university. Nor
did they appear to represent the diverse interests
and backgrounds of the
entire student body.
In the future, it would be

prudent to allow students

to declare their candidacies
up until the date that ballot petitions are due to the
Board of Elections, seven
days before the general
election. This would allow a
hesitant student to mobilize
groups that are not fully
represented by candidates
who declare their intentions earlier.
Under the current
rules, students must
declare their candidacy at
one of two meetings held
14 and 15 days before the
general election.
In this years election
cycle, it became obvious
that no candidate emerged
to represent the various
interests of marginal-

ized groups on campus.

Whether a candidate from
this side of the political
spectrum would be the
most effective student body
president is irrelevant; with
such a large and diverse
student population, an
election for an office with
as much potential to direct
relationships with the
administration and state
politicians should provide
every opportunity for more
candidates to emerge.
By changing this provision to encourage a more
broad array of candidacies,
students will be more likely
to support and vote for a
candidate rather than failing to vote at all as they
have in this election.

We should do all we
can to ease Syrian
suffering.

n life, UNCs Deah

Shaddy Barakat was
working to provide
dental care to the victims
of Syrias civil war. The
United States should
emulate him by increasing humanitarian aid to
Syrian refugees and financial aid to the countries
that host them.
Aid to refugees and
to Syrias neighbors will
reduce tensions that arise
between Syrians and their
host communities and

help stabilize a volatile

region crucial to American
interests. The civil war
between President Bashar
Assad and those seeking
to depose him has resulted
in over 190,000 deaths,
sent 6.5 million Syrians
into internal exile and
forced an additional three
million to flee to neighboring countries, notably
Lebanon, Turkey, Jordan,
Iraq and Egypt.
More than a quarter of
residents in Lebanon are
Syrian refugees.
According to the Council
on Foreign Relations, the
United States has provided
$1.4 billion to help ame-

liorate the refugee crisis.

These funds, though helpful, are inadequate.
Humanitarian assistance
will not solve Syrias refugee
crisis but will only soften
its cruel edges. But given
Americas contradictory
desires to maintain a Syrian
state, depose Assad and
defeat the Islamic State, the
United States is unlikely to
provide the kind of military
support or diplomatic heft
needed to force a political
solution ending the war.
Ordinary Syrians will
keep dying and fleeing at a
horrific rate. Deah did what
little he could to ease their
lot and so should we.

When I first heard the

idea of a Duke tribute
T-shirt to the late Dean
Smith, my first thought was
that it likely wouldnt see
the light of day. My second
thought was that I didnt
want it to. Such a kindhearted gesture would make it a
bit harder to hate the supposedly soulless Crazies.
I dont want to compare
sports rivalries to religious
intolerance, but if sports are
a microcosm of society, that
includes the dark parts, too.
And there arent many parts
darker than blind hatred.
Sports are a fantastic tool
for bonding, but part of that

bond is building a dangerous

us vs. them mentality. In
one basketball game in high
school, a player on the opposing team was knocked to the
floor after a foul. I helped him
up. My coach benched me:
On the court, you two are
enemies. No matter what.
I dont remember who won
that game, or who we were
playing. But I do remember
the moment I lost some
respect for a coach I loved.
Sports offer us an acceptable release of our darkest
self. They make it commonplace to fight other
people simply because they
wear different colors than
you do. They make it fun to
hate blindly.
Thats not going to
change. I dont expect a single person to put down this
column and go find a Duke
fan to hug. But after hearing
about Deahs death and the
role hate might have played
in it, I worry about the role it
plays in sports as well.
As with most fans, I cant
get enough of sports. I could
use a little less hate, though.

TO THE EDITOR:
On Tuesday, UNCChapel Hills student body
will vote for a new student body president. The
person elected, whether
it be Kathryn Walker or
Houston Summers, has
the power to create real
change. Our campus needs
a leader who can tackle
large and complex issues
like sexual assault, rising
tuition and possible cuts
to centers and institutes.
We think students have
the right to know more
about these candidates
and their views on these
important issues.
Therefore, the Coalition
of Carolina Voters will continue last years tradition
of hosting a runoff debate.
This years debate will take
place tonight from 7:00 to
8:30 p.m. at the Freedom
Forum Conference Center
on the third floor of Carroll
Hall. The debate will allow
candidates to directly
address each others ideas
and, when compelled, dispute each others claims.
We encourage students
to email questions to our
moderators at CoalitionOf
CarolinaVoters2015@

We hope you will join
us Monday evening to
help determine the path
Carolina will take in the
year ahead.

Board shouldnt
deride unity idea
TO THE EDITOR:
Though I generally stay
out of campus politics, I felt
compelled to respond to
this papers editorial of Feb.
10. Its criticism of a student
body president candidates
campaign slogan One
Carolina suggested a
worrying lack of appreciation for the importance of
togetherness.
I think back to the release
of the Wainstein report on
Oct. 22. I took the issue very
personally and struggled
to wrap my head around
what it would mean for
my education. That evening, hundreds of students
gathered at a meeting with
Chancellor Folt and members of the administration
who opened the floor to
address student questions.
There was one particular
person whose question
struck me; he asked what
specific steps the chancellor,
provost, athletic director
and the rest of administration were going to take in
order to ensure that every
student who comes to
Carolina is guaranteed an
exceptional education.
I didnt know Houston
Summers at the time, but
when he began his campaign, I immediately recognized him. To me, he was
someone who genuinely
cared not only about those

affected by the report, but

about every student that
will ever have the opportunity to attend Carolina.
The One Carolina that
Houston envisions is not
one that provides for
interests of the dominant
majority while neglecting
marginalized voices, but
one where students from
all backgrounds are drawn
together by a common goal:
bettering Carolina.
This call is essential,
especially now in the wake
of tragedy. Carolina must
stand together, as one, to
oppose hate.

Yik Yak bans reflect

harmful ideology
TO THE EDITOR:
In 2015, the specter of
Puritanism again haunts
America not in the form
of New England fundamentalism, but as campus activism obsessed with identity
politics and political correctness.
Often self-righteous,
dogmatic and myopically
intolerant toward other
perspectives, the radicals
among self-proclaimed
social justice activists can
mirror the mentality of
religious extremists. Facts,
argument and logic are secondary or foreign to these
individuals to them, their
dogma of us-versus-them
groupthink is divine truth,
and anyone who disagrees
must be guilty of the sins
of privilege or bigotry and
accordingly shouted down
and silenced.
The puritanical left aims
to make offending someone
into an unpardonable sin.
While the Puritans banned
books, those pushing a divisive and accusatory brand
of identity politics look to
restrict dissent through
campus speech codes, trigger warnings and a culture
of outrage and indignation
toward any disagreement.
Even mundanities like Yik
Yak are not spared their
moralistic ire.
The Puritans supported
mob justice and putting
sinners in the stocks likewise, the far left hopes to
undo due process for those
accused of sexual misconduct, making them guilty
until proven innocent.
Certainly, liberty and
equality should apply to all
individuals, transcendent
of demographic divisions.
Easing immigration laws,
ending the drug war, marriage equality, stopping
police militarization and
reforming the criminal justice system are all important
causes; but these are best
advanced through constructive and coolheaded conversation and peaceful, concrete activism. The divisive
posturing and histrionics of
a misguided minority within
the social justice movement only alienate support
for equality, while endangering liberty and open intellectual discussion.

Q&A with professional cuddler Donald

By Sarah Vassello
Assistant Arts & Culture Editor

Professional cuddling,
a service-based business in
which cuddlers offer platonic,
therapeutic touch, is a trend
that has been sweeping the
nation since 2014.
Durham-based Cuddle
Time for You, opening Feb. 23,
will be the first professional
cuddling service in North
Carolina. UNC class of 2012
graduate Donald, whose last
name is withheld to protect his
privacy, talked to Assistant
Arts & Culture Editor Sarah
Vassello about his role as a
professional cuddler.

DAILY TAR HEEL: How did

you get started doing this?
How did you hear about it?
DONALD: It was right there

on a job board in between

the jobs youd usually see
you know, selling insurance,
plumbing, whatever and it
was just right there: be a cuddler. What is that? So, I looked
into it, and they were looking
for male cuddlers, so I applied.
I had some experience being a
mascot character at different
birthday parties and events,
so that helps a lot with being
affectionate with people and
hugging and cuddling.

DTH: How did your friends

and family react when you

told them you were becoming
a professional cuddler?

D: I got a lot of mixed reactions. People thought it was

the most unique thing in the
world whereas other people
had a lot of resignations about
it. They thought it was kind
of a sketchy job because they
associated it with not platonic
connections between people.
I just thought it was different because we dont have
anything like this in the area.
This is the first time something
like this is coming to North
Carolina, so people arent just
used to this being a job its
not, Hey Im going to sell
insurance or, Hey, Im going
to be a teacher. Its, Hey, Im
going to go cuddle with people
for a living.
DTH: Whats one miscon-

ception about this job you

hear often?

D: The biggest misconception and I dont hear it

directly, but it gets implied by
almost everyone I talked to
is that this is sex work, and
that is entirely not true. Were
just providing affection for
people who need it and arent
successful in seeking it out
anywhere else. Because its so
new and so different because
its intimate human contact,
I can see why they have that
assumption at first, but its
really wrong, and its nothing
close to what we do.
DTH: In your bio on the
website, you listed previous

experience in community
service jobs, such as a private
nurse aide for a woman with
Alzheimers and a food service
manager. How do you bring
a sense of public service to
this job? Is that an important
role?

D: Absolutely because at the

heart of this job is just making people feel better, making
them feel special and important and cared and thought
of. Thats really what you want
for any public service job, is to
make the person feel wanted
and this is a more direct,
hands on literally hands
on approach to that. Theres
a strong connection Id say
this is more direct, and Id say
more powerful.

A menu of pre-approved cuddling positions

Durhams Cuddle Time for You offers five different cuddling positions as part of its services. Clients can choose to talk during the
cuddling session or keep it a quiet, relaxing environment. Clients also have the option of sitting or lying down in any of these positions.

DTH: Who is professional

cuddling for? What is the
demographic?

DTH: You graduated from

UNC in 2012. What did you
major in, and how would you
say your time at UNC has
impacted you, especially as a
cuddler?

D: Theres not a certain

demographic. I cant think
of one person who at some
point in their life did not have
a terrible day or a terrible
week and at the end of it just
thought, I need to be held; I
just need to be with someone.
No one has failed to feel that,
but not everyone has the benefit of having that friend or
that companion or that family member there to be there
physically when they need
it in the form of just simply
holding their hand or hugging
them or talking with them.

D: I majored in history, and

I had originally anticipated
being a teacher, but teaching
jobs in my field are really hard
to come by, and thats why I
was looking for other work
when I found this job. My time
at UNC has helped show me a
lot of need in my community.
I spent a lot of my time there
doing a lot of volunteer work
with churches and other nonprofits in the area and helped
people from all walks of life

haps psychological help.

What I bring from that
experience into this job is that
even if a human touch doesnt
solve whatever problem
theyre dealing with, it certainly helps the person cope with
whatever theyre experiencing.
Also, my time at UNC also
helped me open my mind up to
all sorts of possibility, careerwise and lifewise. It really
helped me see all the different
things that are available in this
world. I dont think I would
have even considered this job
if I wasnt exposed to those
things at UNC.

DTH: This is the first professional cuddling business in

North Carolina. Do you see
this as a trend that can or will
sweep the United States?

D: Do I think cuddling will

catch on nationally? I think
in a way it has. It started in
(Oregon), and Jeff is opening
up this business in Durham
and saw the piece and learned
about (what) one person was
doing in that place. Businesses
like this are starting to pop up.
Will that continue? I hope so
because of the powerful nature
of what were offering.
DTH: What are some aspirations you hold for this job?
D: I really want to reach out
and affect someone. I really
want to comfort them I want
to make them feel important
and special. Thats what our clients are coming to us for, and I
hope I can bring that to them in
a very special and personal way.

Sarah Owens (right) and Heather Sivaraman, both of Carrboro, kiss on Main Street to advocate for marriage equality on Saturday.

In Carrboro, couples kiss for a cause

By Luman Ouyang
Staff Writer

For Chapel Hill residents

Lane Wurster and Tracey
Tomlinson, Valentines Day
was spent kissing in public on
Main Street in Carrboro.
The two participated
in Make Out on Main
Street, where dozens of
couples kissed at 2:14 p.m.
on Saturday. The event,
held in front of the plaza of
Camerons gift shop, was part
of For the Love of Carrboro,
a series of events in February
to promote the town.
Wurster and Tomlinson met
at UNC, while Tomlinson was
an undergraduate and Wurster
was in graduate school.
Wurster said he never
doubted he would marry her.
There was never a ques-

tion. he said. Its just her honesty, and her care for people.
Bridget PembertonSmith, one of the owners of
Camerons, said it is the shops
first time hosting an event like
the mass makeout, which was
attended by about 15 couples.
Its a way that brings people
to the town, and hopefully
while they are here, they will
visit the restaurants, the stores
and enjoy their day, she said.
Pemberton-Smith said
the event is also grounded in
raising awareness of marriage
equality, which she said is an
important issue for Carrboro.
Carrboro Mayor Lydia
Lavelle attended the event with
her wife, Alicia Stemper. The
two were the first same-sex
couple to marry in Orange
County after same-sex marriage was legalized in the state

in October.
We are so fortunate to live
in a community that is so progressive, Lavelle said.
Especially the way things
are in our country right now,
with Alabama and other
states. Just hopefully, there
will be marriage equality for
everyone sometime this year.
Its a day to celebrate love and
celebrate Carrboro loving us.
Bobbi Weinberg, a Carrboro
resident, found the event on
Facebook and came with her
husband, Alan Fanning.
Its Valentines Day. Its a
good opportunity to make out
with my wife, Fanning said.
By the time the two got
married, they had known
each other for 13 years.
At some point, we got
together to do things, and
doing things together feels

right, Fanning said. I just felt

like I want to keep doing things
with her. It felt very natural.
Lavelle said she has been
with Stemper for 12 years.
Once we met each other,
at least for me, I knew I found
the one, Lavelle said.
Stemper said she loves
Lavelle because she is magical, while Lavelle said she
loves Stemper because of her
long list of good qualities.
I cant say anything critical
about Alicia. She has so many
good attributes. Shes smart,
pretty; shes intelligent; shes
athletic; shes caring; shes compassionate; I mean this just
goes on and on, Lavelle said.
We actually grew up very similar lives, just stayed apart, and
we finally found each other.

WOMENS LACROSSE: NORTH CAROLINA 19, HIGH POINT 5

Staff Writer

Just over three minutes

into the game against High
Point on Friday, senior
Brittney Coppa opened up
the scoring for the No. 2
North Carolina womens
lacrosse team by bouncing a
ball into the net after a quick
jab step to the left.
Just over a minute later,
sophomore Molly Hendrick
sprinted around her defender with a crisp overhand
shot from the right side.
Nearly two more minutes
passed. Hendrick scored two
more goals.
UNC (3-0) raced ahead
and never looked back in its
19-5 victory over High Point
(0-1). The Panthers were
on their heels for the entire
match.
The key to our offense was
playing big, dodging hard
and also cutting hard, junior
Sammy Jo Tracy said. We
love to go at opponents hard
and to get them down as soon
as possible.
And true to Tracys word,
the High Point Panthers were
blitzed by the Tar Heels early
offense. UNC opened up
the game on a 6-0 run, and
High Point did not get on the
scoreboard until nearly 12
minutes into the game.
But as soon as the
Panthers scored to make it
6-1, the Tar Heels zoomed
downfield and scored a goal
of their own to make it 7-1. It
only took 19 seconds.
We love fast-paced play,
junior Aly Messinger said.
We love getting the ball
right in transition off the
draw control.
The Tar Heels overpowered the Panthers in draw
controls. High Point won
the first draw control of the
game, but UNC took the next
five. In just the first half,
the Tar Heels owned a 14-3
advantage. The domination
prevented High Point from
setting up an offense, which
led to a lopsided 14-2 halftime score.

you do have to acknowledge

that theres a lot going on.
Its a lot to deal with, but
at the same time, life goes on,
Tokoto said. You gotta keep
moving. You mourn the death
of others, and you just gotta
keep playing and keep going
through life.
It stopped for a beat at
11:19 p.m. one Saturday ago,
when Williams got the call saying Smith had passed. Since
then, he said Friday, his world
hasnt spun so true to its axis,
particularly at this time, when
conference play reaches a fever
pitch and the postseason draws
nearer. But thats OK, Williams
said, because this is just a
game, and nothing more.
Thats not acceptable to
Smiths widow, Linnea. She
told Williams so last week, a
friendly smack to the head.
You know, Williams
remembered Linnea said,
there is a basketball season
still going on.
And remember: Saturdays
game blowout, really is
more important than it seems,
and Williams is still walking
the halls. Five Pittsburgh students greet him. They present a
banner that stretched through
the student section during a
pregame moment of silence
emblazoned with Smiths
quote, You should never be
proud of doing whats right,
you should just do whats right.
They carry, too, a letter dotted
with messages, all expressing
condolences to UNC for the
loss of its basketball patriarch.
I told those kids that I
would keep those, Williams
said, his tone soaked with
gratitude. They wont ever be
tossed. Ill always have them.
It was a game, and it was
a loss, one of the trite kind.
But at the close of a weeklong
nightmare from which his
university still tries to awaken,
Williams found reason to begin
his postgame remarks with a
tale of heartening generosity.
A game, sometimes, means
more than it suggests.

Its not too early to start

thinking about summer!

to watch. Were way more

blessed than others in situations, and (the shootings)
very easily could have happened to any one of us.
Like coach said, you realize
that life can be taken at any
point, guard Nate Britt said,
and you have to make the
most out of what you have.
It didnt explain, though,
why Pittsburgh outmuscled
and outmatched UNC in
almost every regard. It couldnt
account for UNCs one offensive rebound in the first half, or
the 22 points Panthers forward
Sheldon Jeter scored with such
ease, or the seven consecutive
baskets that Pittsburgh didnt
miss to begin the second half.
It was a tough week,
Williams said. It had nothing
to do with the game today.
Yet his players are human,
and they are students, and they
are compassionate, too. Marcus
Paige was in Woollen Gym
with forward Kennedy Meeks
on Jan. 13 when a 23-year-old
man named Deah Shaddy
Barakat approached him. He
asked for a photo, and Paige
obliged. But Barakats friend,
unbeknownst to the star point
guard, was poised to film a
Vine. And Barakat, a N.C. State
undergrad and second-year
student at the UNC School of
Dentistry, who was shot dead
in his off-campus apartment
last week, had no intention
of posing with a Tar Heel. He
faked a handshake with Paige,
made the Wolfpack sign and
sauntered away. He got me
pretty good, a smiling Paige
said Saturday. It was a good
joke.
I dont want to belittle
what has happened by calling
them distractions, but from a
basketball-team standpoint,
those things affect us, and they
carry with us throughout the
week, Paige said later. In that
sense, I would call it a distraction, but theres no excuse to be
made here for what happened
(Saturday). At the same time,

Senior Brittney Coppa (35) carries the ball down the field. She
scored the first goal in UNCs 14-point victory over High Point.

We love to go at opponents hard and get

them down as soon as possible.
Sammy Jo Tracy,
Junior attacker/midfielder on the womens lacrosse team

coaches the fast-paced offense

and recruits players who love
to run in transition.
She added that some
of the tougher teams on
the schedule prefer to
slow down the game, so
she expects the offense to
become more efficient.
I think we can get quicker, Levy said. A balance
between a quick pace of play
and poise is something that
were focused on. Its still
early in the season, and of
course, it (was) a little cold
(Friday), so its harder to
get that fast-paced play. But
as the season continues, I
believe we will become more
sharp and faster.
Thirteen different Tar

Heels scored a goal in the

game Friday. Hendrick led
all scorers with four goals
and Messinger, Tracy and
Coppa all added two goals of
their own.
The bench is deep and
every player loves to push
the pace.
Weve got weapons all
over, Levy said. All seven
of our kids on offense are
threats, and we have a lot of
confidence in the different
players we have. It makes it
really hard to guard us.
It was a track meet for the
Tar Heels. And the Panthers
forgot to bring their running
shoes.

Junior right-hander Trent Thornton (31) fires a pitch toward home. He started game one of UNCs three-game series against Seton Hall and allowed one run.

In UNCs season opener, the teams pitching depth was evident

By Carlos Collazo
Assistant Sports Editor

Pitching was supposed to be the strength of

the No. 15 North Carolina baseball team this
season. And after a three-game series sweep
of Seton Hall where the Tar Heels limited the
Pirates to just eight earned runs, it certainly
seems like thats the case.
Were so confident, said sophomore righthander Spencer Trayner. Were so confident,
and its a blast out there. Every guy that were
gonna bring in is gonna be real good. Were prepared for it.
If our starter doesnt get us to the sixth or
seventh, we have the depth to take care of that.
And then we have the depth in the back of the
bullpen to really shut down games well.
In UNCs 7-1 win Friday, junior Trent
Thornton had a solid but unspectacular start
where he wasnt able to go as deep into the
game as he wanted just 4.1 innings.
The right-hander allowed five hits and one
run while striking out six batters and walking

three. That wasnt an issue for this UNC pitching staff, though.
Trayner came in and threw 2.2 scoreless relief
innings while retiring 10 straight batters during
his appearance.
Weve got guy after guy in the bullpen that
we have all the confidence in, Thornton said.
I mean Spencer Trayner, Chris McCue, Reilly
Hovis, Hansen Butler, I mean the list goes on
and on.
No matter who were running in there out
of the bullpen, we have complete confidence
in them.
But it isnt just the bullpen thats a strength.
In Saturdays double header, senior Benton
Moss continued to be the pitcher that hes
become known to be in Chapel Hill, and freshman J.B. Bukauskas lived up to all the hype
that comes with being the nations No. 29 righthanded pitcher.
Moss struck out nine batters and allowed
just two runs in his five innings of work in
the second game (a 10-4 win), and Bukauskas
sealed the deal in game three (a 9-5 win). His

five-inning effort featured five strikeouts and a

handful of 97 mph fastballs.
Hes just got explosive stuff, hes got so much
potential, Moss said of Bukauskas after the
double header. Its awesome just to watch him.
Coach Mike Fox didnt think the Ashburn, Va.,
natives college debut could have gone any better.
J.B. was perfect, he said. It couldnt have
been scripted out any (more) perfect to get him
five innings We werent gonna let him throw
over 90 (pitches), so we didnt see any reason to
put him out there in the sixth inning.
But you can see the great arm he has. I think
hes only gonna get better.
As for Bukauskas, hes just excited to be part of
a pitching staff with so many quality options. A
total of 13 different pitchers threw over the weekend, and just four of them allowed earned runs.
It feels great, he said. Its way different
than in high school where you only have one
guy on the team like that. Here, you have 18
of them.

PITTSBURGH What a week it

had been: one of loss and bloodshed,
of hearts kneaded into twisted rubble.
It would end with more loss, this
time the trivial kind, offering a gentle
reminder that a game is no more than
it says it is. But this one was imbued
with more meaning, much more, than
the average Saturday afternoon fare.
Roy Williams strolls the hall outside
the North Carolina basketball teams
visiting locker room at the Petersen
Events Center. His No. 12 Tar Heels
(18-7, 8-4 ACC) had just endured a
Valentines Day crush, an 89-76 loss
to unranked Pittsburgh (17-9, 6-6).
No team in the last 30 years has shot
better in a game against UNC than the
Panthers, who found the net on 64.9
percent of their attempts. To them, the
rim looked like an ocean, and UNC
was but driftwood.
Fitting, it was, because UNC had
been adrift, its coach most of all. His
mentor and friend had passed away
seven days ago, though his initials
D.E.S. remained Saturday on
a patch sewn onto UNCs uniforms.
For Williams they stayed on a lapel
button, pinned close to his heart.
On Tuesday, his campus grieved
once more, this time for the lives of
three students. There was a vigil held
in their memory Wednesday and a
funeral and burial Thursday. There
was a private memorial the same day
for Dean Smith. And there was a basketball game Saturday, so incongruous, it was, amid the heartache that
preceded it.
Its been emotional; its been consuming, Williams said Friday afternoon at the Smith Center before UNC
departed for Pittsburgh. Not just
time-consuming: Its been all-consuming because of the thoughts you have.
Stressful, said forward J.P.
Tokoto when asked to describe the
last seven days. Were not the only
ones going through stuff in everyday
life. And we get a chance to do what
we love in front of people who love

MENS LACROSSE: UNC 20, MASSACHUSETTS 8

UNC mens lacrosse nds another trio of hat tricks

Joey Sankey, Jimmy Bitter

and Luke Goldstock each
scored three goals.
By Andrew Tie
Staff Writer

On Feb. 7, the No. 5 North

Carolina mens lacrosse team (3-0)
completed a feat it hadnt accomplished in six years.
Starting attackmen Joey Sankey,
Jimmy Bitter and Luke Goldstock
each netted a hat trick against
Furman. And then it happened
again on Saturday, in UNCs 20-8
win over Massachusetts (0-2).
Before this season, three starting attackmen for UNC hadnt each
recorded a hat trick since 2009 when
Bitters brother Billy was part of the
trio. Now its happened twice in three
games to start the 2015 season.
Though it doesnt matter who
scores the goals for UNC, the
achievement shows balance and
offensive firepower.
When we get into trouble offensively, its when everybodys trying to
make The Play, Coach Joe Breschi

said. If we share the ball, opportunities are going to be abundant for

everybody.
Sankey had his way with UMass
after just two points against High
Point Tuesday. Sankey dodged,
ducked and dipped his way to seven
points, including four assists, both
tying a career high.
On one restart after the ball went
out of bounds, Sankey went solo,
running from behind the goal to in
front of it and whipping an underhanded shot in. He showed stickto-it perseverance in the third quarter, stealing a pass from a UMass
defender to the goalie in midair and
popping it in the net in one motion.
Bitter did his work early, scoring
three goals and notching two assists
in the first 17 minutes.
The third weapon of the triumvirate, Goldstock, doesnt have the
pedigree the Sankey-Bitter duo has
both are tied for 10th on UNCs alltime goals list but hes held his own
so far this season. The sophomore has
the third-most points in three games,
just behind Bitter and Sankey.
Lukes a great player, Sankey
said. Hes probably the most
improved player from last year.

Hes got a great shot. He has great

vision. Its nice when we can all get
involved.
Breschi praised Goldstock for
knowing his role and fitting in with
the two stars.
Hes overshadowed a little bit
by the Sankey-Bitter combination,
who are so good, but I think Luke is
every bit as good as top attackmen
out there, Breschi said. Those guys
are starting to play well together.
The offensive balance against
UMass wasnt limited to just the
attackmen. Seven other players scored
goals, including a Peyton Klawinski
hat trick and multiple goals from
Chad Tutton and Duncan Hutchins.
Even defenseman Austin Pifani
got in on the action. Early in the second half, Pifani scooped up a loose
ball on defense with his long stick
and pushed into the offensive zone.
He kept running free, unstopped,
and took the clear path straight to
the goal and scored.
Im going to the cage every time if
theyre not respecting me, Pifani said.
The transition under new offensive
coordinator David Metzbower has
appeared to be smooth. Sankey and
Bitter have continued their record-

breaking pace and Goldstock has provided a new, legitimate scoring option.
As an offense, were really clicking and getting better each week,
which is the goal, Sankey said.

Weve really been focusing on keeping the ball hot, moving it. The flow
has been really great this year.
