ATHLETIC-ACADEMIC SCANDAL

Reports challenge scandals 1993 start date

UNC documents show irregular
courses dating back to 1989.
By Sara Salinas
Senior Writer

Since the release of the Wainstein report, the

idea that the Universitys academic improprieties
began in 1993 has gone largely unquestioned.
Now, conflicting information between the

Wainstein report and the Universitys response

to its accrediting agency has some wondering
whether that date was created to protect the
1993 national championship-winning mens
basketball team.
The University received a letter from its
accrediting agency, the Southern Association
of Colleges and Schools Commission on
Colleges, on Nov. 13 that named 18 association
policies that were violated at UNC.
A data table included in the response letter

to the accrediting agency titled Enrollments in

Irregular Courses, By Academic Year lists data
beginning with the 1989-1990 academic year
and shows that four athletes were enrolled in
irregular courses in the department in 1989.
Rick White, a spokesman for the University,
said in several emails that the data in the table
is drawn from information in the exhibits
accompanying the Wainstein Report.
We stand by the two reports and encourage them to be read holistically, White said.

NAPKINS TALK BACK

Were not going to comment on individual

sentences, data points or paragraphs, nor will
we compare or contrast the reports and specific passages from them.
White said the tables in the response to the
accrediting agency are just summaries by year
of the same tables in the Wainstein exhibits.
He referenced a corresponding chart in the
supplemental Wainstein documents that also

Intervention
by board
questioned
Some say actions on centers should
be left to UNC-system campuses.
By Caroline Lamb
Staff Writer

The recent centers and institutes review carried out by the UNC Board of Governors has
sparked concerns that the board took its power
over UNC-system campuses too far.
While system policy gives most oversight of
centers and institutes to campuses, a new policy
revision clarifies the
boards power to conduct reviews of centers
and consider them for
discontinuation. North
Carolina law already
gives the board this
authority, but the policy now spells it out.
According to a
memo from UNC-system general counsel Thomas
Shanahan, the board has clear authority to require
chancellors to take specific actions as to campus
centers and institutes, notwithstanding the provisions of any existing University regulation.
Tamar Birckhead, a UNC law professor, said
taking action on a campus-level issue which is
normally the concern of Boards of Trustees and
chancellors could possibly create a slippery slope.
She said while the board has given reasons for
shutting down centers, she does not see how using
this power is in the best interest of the UNC system.
I dont believe that the Board of Governors
has articulated a legitimate reason for why they
are invoking this statute to take such extreme
measures, Birckhead said.
Hannah Gage, former chairwoman of the
board, said in an email that while reviewing campus centers is within the boards authority, she
does not necessarily think it should be used.
Theres a delicate balance to the governing
structure of the UNC system, and it has worked
beautifully for many years because the central
board has exercised discipline and resisted intervention on the campus level, Gage said.
Board member Jim Holmes said because the
board started the centers review, they wanted to
finish it rather than pass it onto the universities.
How irresponsible would it be of our committee and, in fact our board, not to take ownership of
what were doing, and put it back in the hands of
chancellors and others versus simply finishing it? To
me, thats just a very irresponsible action, he said.
Holmes said it is the boards responsibility to
conduct such reviews particularly given that
this kind of review was past due. Many campus
centers had never been reviewed, he said.
Were charged with the judiciary responsibility
to oversee the system proper, he said. It seemed
to be incredibly prudent to do it.
Stephen Leonard, UNC-system Faculty Assembly
chairman and a UNC political science professor,
said the board has taken several actions recently
that usually fall under campuses management.
It looks like they want to take (the system) in
a very different direction that entails quite a bit of
centralized management and oversight of the campuses. Thats very unusual, he said.
Holmes doesnt agree. This was not a statement
of our ability to do stuff at the campus level, he said.
Still, Gage said at the boards meeting Friday
that the centers review crossed a new line.
Its never been the place of the board to pass
judgment on the merits of campuses academic
activities.

Freshman Evana Bodiker began posting messages on the Carolina Dining Services feedback board asking for fairer wages for CDS workers.

Students use napkins to advocate for dining workers

By Kristen Chung
Senior Writer

Lance Barnes, a baker for Carolina Dining

Services, has dreams that expand outside of
Chapel Hill and the ovens on the third floor
of Rams Head Dining Hall, but he worries
about having enough money to get there.
I just want to travel, and I want to see
the world and enjoy myself, he said. I have
a savings account to retire, and I wish I had
more saved up.
Barnes, 49, said he wants to retire at age
65 and travel to Africa, Paris and New York.
However, his retirement is dependent on
his financial stability.
Barnes is one of UNCs approximately
420 employees working for Aramark,
the contract agency for Carolina Dining
Services. He began as a dishwasher 11 years
ago, but was eventually promoted to baking.
I used to work at Burger King, and I can
pay all my bills now, he said. Burger King

was a harder job.

Every morning, Barnes walks from his
Chapel Hill home to campus. He is usually on
his feet seven hours a day with one chance to
sit down during his 30-minute lunch break.
Sometimes, I feel like were not appreciated as we should, he said. Just work a week
in our shoes, and theyll know what its like.
Freshman Evana Bodiker said she and
her friends began writing we heart CDS
workers. Please pay them fairer wages on
the CDS feedback board, Napkin Talk. The
majority were taken down without comment, but one got a reply of We <3 you too!
Thanks for being concerned.
Every experience Ive had with workers
has been really positive, Bodiker said. Its
frustrating to see other students not treat
them with respect and their employers not
paying them properly for the amount of
work they do.
CDS beginning employee wages rose to
$10 from $8.50 in the fall of 2012. Scott Weir,

a resident district manager for Aramark, said

pay has not been an issue raised at recent
semiannual employee forums.
We feel that our highly competitive wages
and comprehensive benefit package is part
of the reason for our employee turnover rate
being approximately half the industry average, Weir said in an email statement.
Daniel Farrington said he works 39 hours
a week as the safety coordinator for Rams
Head Dining Hall.
Its like a home to me, he said.
Farrington said he is not provided free
parking. It costs $13 per day to park in the
Rams Head deck, so he takes the bus from
his Carrboro home. He said even heavy snow
does not prevent him from coming in to work.
Im going to get here, some way, somehow,
and Im going to get here on time, he said.
Catherine Crowe, a member of UNCs
Student Action with Workers, said she

Ignoring expenses, UNC says it will divest

A new report revealed
the potential expense
of coal divestment.
By Tyler Fleming
Staff Writer

Despite a recent report suggesting divestment from fossil

fuels will cause universities to
lose money, UNC remains firm in
its ambitions to divest from coal.
The report, funded by
the Independent Petroleum

Association of America, was

published by University of
Chicago law professor emeritus
Daniel Fischel.
UNC Management Company
has begun to actively research
potential investments in the
alternative energy space that
allow the shift to be made from
fossil fuel based energy sources,
said Janine Vanzetta, director
of investor relations and communications for UNCs investing
body, in an email.
Alex Rinaudo, senior vice
president of the economic con-

sulting firm Compass Lexecon,

worked with Fischel to compile
the report. He said, in short,
divestment comes with a financial burden.
Rinaudo said determining
what needs to be divested and
selling those investments are
some of the costs of divestment.
From a financial perspective, the idea of precluding
yourself from investing in a
particular asset class comes at a
cost, he said.
Despite this report, organizations at UNC believe divest-

ment is a good idea both

morally and as a good business
practice.
In September 2014, the Board
of Trustees asked the UNC
Management Company to seek
divestment.
The board approved a resolution sponsored by the UNC
Sierra Student Coalition to
target clean energy in future
investments.
Vanzetta said the company is
moving forward on the boards

ome Canadians are honoring Leonard Nimoy, the actor who

famously played Spock in the Star Trek series, in their own
unique way. The Canadian Design Resource took to social
media to encourage people to spock their bills, and Canadians
have listened. The Canadian $5 bill features former Canadian prime
minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier. However, some have taken a pen and a
little bit of artistic talent and have transformed Sir Laurier into Spock.
A Canadian bank spokeswoman said that while spocking the Canadian
currency is technically legal, drawing on currency might tamper with the
security features. Canadians have decided to take that risk.
Live long and prosper, eh?

Rameses, Yak face off in Pit

Snow days
leave hungry
kids stranded
Local groups like PORCH worked to
make sure students received food.
By Madeline Reich
Staff Writer

DTH/CLAIRE COLLINS
Rameses and the Yik Yak mascot dance in front of Lenoir Hall on Tuesday. Yik Yak filmed a promotional video for their spring campus tour.

The Yik Yak tour stopped briefly at UNC on Tuesday

By Deborah Harris
Staff Writer

The Yak disappeared as

quickly as he had arrived a
fleeting whirlwind of Yakarma.
Yik Yaks Ride the Yak
arrived at UNC Tuesday, the
latest stop on a spring campus
tour. The location-based social
media application started two
tours from Atlanta on Feb. 14,
one heading to the Midwest, the
other up the East coast.
Joe Barry, east coast tour
manager, said Yik Yak ran a successful tour last fall and plans to
cover 59 colleges across 34 states
in 71 days, connecting with users
and handing out merchandise.
Its just a great way for a social
media app like ourselves to get
in touch with our users, Barry
said. Its something that no other
social app is really doing.
From 11 a.m. to noon, the Yak

and Rameses could be found

racing around the Pit, Student
Union and Undergraduate
Library battling with large
cottons swabs and taking selfies
with students.
The event continued at the
Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity
house on Franklin Street. Yik
Yak contacted the fraternity
on Monday, looking for both a
space to hand out merchandise
and a charity to benefit.
For every post about why
students love UNC, Yik Yak
donated a dollar to the charity of the fraternitys choice
Camp Kesem.
It was sort of a perfect storm,
said Tucker Morgan, junior and
Lambda Chi Alpha member.
They mentioned they needed
a place to pass out merchandise
and a philanthropy to fundraise
for. I just happened to have both.
Morgan said 18 members

raised money for Camp Kesem,

a summer camp for children
affected by parents with cancer.
Morgan said the North Carolina
camp needs $98,000 annually to run the camps, and they
hoped to raise around $200
from Yik Yak.
Yik Yak had a controversial
academic year at UNC. University
administrators and students have
grappled with some anonymous
posts, including a bomb threat
and racial harassment.
Barry said the anonymous
aspect of the app is tough, and
the company is working to provide better quality feed by banning Yik Yak from high schools
and adding more trigger words,
allowing them to delete posts
more quickly.
However, he said, the anonymous aspect is also the best part
of Yik Yak.
Youll see the person you

would least expect to have the

highest Yakarma score walk over
and show you they have, like,
50,000, Barry said. I think
thats the coolest part of Yik Yak
everyone and anyone has a
chance to have their voice heard.
Senior Erin Jackson said
Yik Yak often causes heated
discussion with her classes and
friends, unlike social media sites
such as Twitter.
With the idea of shutting
(Yik Yak) down on campus, I see
that as censorship, and I cant
completely understand that idea,
Jackson said. Its not the app,
but the ideas presented on the
app. Because it is anonymous,
it creates a sense of community.
It allows you to be whoever you
want to be to be yourself, to
be whatever you want in that
moment without being judged.

For many families a snow day means sleeping

in, playing in the snow and drinking hot chocolate.
But for families who rely on free and reduced
school lunches for their children to eat, even a
single snow day can be a burden.
Between Feb. 17 and 27, Chapel Hill-Carrboro
City Schools canceled school seven times.
Our free and reduced lunch population is somewhere in the neighborhood of 27 to 30 percent districtwide, said Jeff Nash, spokesman for CHCCS.
Nash said that the school district does not
have any programs to help families that rely on
free and reduced lunches.
Some of these families are living very close
to the edge and are already having to skip meals
throughout the month, said Susan Romaine, a
founder and director of PORCH.
In some cases parents would skip meals to get
their kids fed. Sometimes people put things off,
Romaine said. These families make really hard
choices throughout the month and when something comes up they have to choose between food
and basic needs like prescriptions.
PORCH, People Offering Relief for Chapel Hill
Carborro Homes, is an organization that provides
local hunger relief in Orange County and worked
to ensure families had enough food during the
recent snow days.
Im thrilled to say that we were able to serve 170
of our families, Romaine said. It was very cold and
treacherous but our volunteers stepped up.
Romaine said PORCH was able to get 20
bags of fresh foods to Rogers Road Community
Center, which primarily serves low-income families with kids in public schools.
PORCH provided enough groceries canned
goods, produce, milk to help those families
out here in the Rogers Road neighborhood, said
Rosie Caldwell, spokeswoman for the Rogers
Road Community Center. We had vegetables
and fruits to help sustain those families.
The Rogers Road Community Center also played
a role in supporting families during the snow days.
When we are open, the kids had a safe place
to play and the parents didnt need to worry for
them. Some of the children would come out here
and spend three to four hours. It gave parents just
enough time to do some errands without having to
pay extra for day care or a babysitter, said Caldwell.
PORCH and the Rogers Road Community
Center provided food for families that could make it
to the center and for those that could not.
We actually reached out to neighbors, some
of us door-to-door, to provide groceries to people
who couldnt get to the community center,
Caldwell said.

Congress targets
stipend reports
Student Governments
stipends will now be
reviewed biannually.
By Anyssa Reddix
Staff Writer

The Student Congress

Finance Committee passed a
bill Tuesday night to revise the
process of oversight for student
government stipends.
Its simply ensuring that
there is accountability of how
stipends are used and that student government stipends are
good, and a recognition of student government officials, said
finance committee chairman
Joshua Aristy.
Aristy formed a subcommittee to review the stipends after
a discussion last fall about stipends and their purpose.
The subcommittee decided
they were indeed useful, he said.
Stipends are meant to reimburse certain members of student government, specifically
student body president, vice
president, treasurer, student
attorney general and honor
court chairmen.
The student body president
receives a stipend of $300
each month while the other
positions receive a monthly
$200 stipend.
We wanted to keep (student government) affordable
for everyone so we thought the
stipends were necessary, said
the head of the subcommittee,
Joseph Chaney. The goal is
pretty much to eliminate the red
tape for the stipend process.
Currently, the members
of student government who
receive stipends are required
to submit a report on their
spending every month. The bill
changes this review process to
in-person reports twice a year
but doesnt affect the amount.
We feel that currently

stipends are being used properly by student government,

Chaney said. Therefore there
is no reason to make any
change in the amounts.
The subcommittee decided
the monthly reports were cumbersome, according to Chaney,
because many members of
student government were not
filing them.
We thought that the monthly reports werent really coming
in and that was unnecessary so
we decided to make it biannual
and we could just audit it at
the beginning of the semester,
Chaney said.
Aristy himself had very little
to do with the subcommittee.
I simply just formed it and
got reports from them, he said.
As the chair of the full committee, I try to let members run
their own subcommittees so
Im not interfering.
Aristy said this decision has
nothing to do with Student
Congress recent review of
Student Body Vice President
Kyle Villemains stipend.
The subcommittee was
formed entirely before that matter was discovered, Aristy said.
Villemain also didnt seem to
think this bill was in relation to
his review.
It seems like a pretty innocent bill, just kind of a logistical
update, Villemain said.
Although Villemain was not
aware of the bill, he said he does
see the importance of the stipend review.
Theres a lot of value to
these traditions and theyre
more about ensuring student
government is able to be an
accessible position for everyone, Villemain said.
At the meeting, Aristy
moved to change the wording
of a subsection regarding summer stipends. The bill then
passed with no objections.

Committee discusses athletes cases

The Faculty Athletics
Committee also reviewed
snow day policies.
By Katie Kilmartin
Staff Writer

The Faculty Athletics Committee

spent half of its Tuesday meeting in
closed session, as the members discussed specific student-athletes cases.
The meeting comes on the heels of
the news regarding former football
player Michael Waddells irregular
enrollment into the Exercise and
Sports Science graduate program.
Cheryl Thomas, former admissions
director for UNCs graduate school,
shared information with The (Raleigh)
News & Observer regarding the athletic
departments encouraged enrollment of
Waddell into the competitive graduate
program during fall 2003.
Thomas said Waddell applied months
after the programs deadline without a
GRE score, according to reports by The
(Raleigh) News & Observer.
Members of the committee didnt

say which student-athletes case they

reviewed on Tuesday.
The open portion of the meeting
revolved around the issue of sports
teams practice procedures during last
weeks snowstorms.
A faculty member contacted committee chairwoman Joy Renner on Friday
afternoon about concerns of the appropriateness and safety of student-athletes
practicing when the University was in
Condition 3, which requires classes to be
canceled and offices to be closed.
Renner said the faculty member also
raised concerns about liability and the
importance of athletics over academics.
Theres always a knee jerk reaction
to things, and you need to think about
the liability and safety of the students
and coaches, she said.
Director of Athletics Bubba
Cunningham said that when the athletic department heard about adverse
weather conditions, he sent emails to
coaches notifying them to be safe.
The department can give teams permission to practice during Condition 3.
Cunningham said permission to
practice depends on whether the team
is in season, how many members are on

the team, if the team has a competition

within 48 hours and whether the team
and coaching staff can arrive safely.
The cancellation of games on campus is decided by the University, but
Cunningham said the womens basketball team has played in Condition 3 for
the past two years.
Cunningham said athletes could voluntarily practice if facilities are open.
In this environment, if we have
some facilities open for the kids that
are bored or want something to do,
then they can come and lift or swim or
do something athletic, he said.
The members of the committee had concerns about liability for
student-athletes.
I think it raises the same sort of
question, nursing professor Beverly
Foster said. Are they covered by malpractice insurance when the University
is officially closed?
Renner said the University is working on updating its adverse weather
policies and has asked Cunningham to
join the group, which will meet Friday
to discuss the conditions.

Nicki Morris, a member of
Emerson Colleges Progressives
and Radicals in Defense of
Employees, worked on a ninemonth campaign to unionize
Emersons approximately 100
food service workers.
A public union was created
in April 2014 and Emersons
food management company,
Sodexo, recognized the union
in September. Morris said
unions are important for
ensuring employee rights.
It gives people a way to
deal with grievances in the
workplace, Crowe said. Even
more, its having a say what
happens to them and justice
where they work.
North Carolina is a rightto-work state where unions
are not allowed, but Crowe
said she would like to see
students mobilize and push
for the creation of a union for
CDS employees.
We have this very specific
power to make changes in the
university system without the
fear of being kicked out or
fired, she said.

presents data beginning in

1989 titled Enrollments in
AFAM Independent Studies,
1989-2011.
Joseph Jay, who co-authored
the report with former federal
prosecutor Kenneth Wainstein,
said the charts presented in the
Wainstein report include both
irregular and regular enrollments in independent studies.
Jay said Wainsteins team
reviewed grade rosters for
independent studies courses
in the Department of African
and Afro-American studies
between 1989 and 2011 with
former department chairman
Julius Nyangoro and former
secretary Deborah Crowder.
In doing so, they were able
to confirm irregularities as
early as 1993. Jay said its possible irregularities occurred
earlier, but neither Nyangoro
nor Crowder could be sure.
We could not isolate irregular enrollments from regular

she said.

initiated or launched the system because it was a course
that was created for two basketball players, he said.
After the initial course in
the fall of 1988, Smith said
irregularities largely disappeared until the fall of 1989,
when Nyangoro became a full
professor in the department.
Then it continues pretty
much uninterrupted for the
next 20-plus years, he said.

Jay Smith, a UNC history

professor who authored a

book on the athletic-academic
scandal with former athletic learning specialist Mary
Willingham, said he felt it was
necessary to do his own digging into the improprieties.
I think there are a lot
of loose threads from the
Wainstein report that need to
be pulled on a little bit, he said.
Nyangoro was named chairman of the department in
1992 and the Wainstein report
identifies this promotion as the
spark for the entire scandal, as
his leadership style allowed for
Crowder to create and abuse
the paper class system.
Nyangoro could not be
reached for comment.
Smith said he and
Willingham identified independent studies courses as
early as the fall of 1988 that
listed Nyangoro as the instructor, an indicator of irregularity
since Nyangoro was found to
be at the center of the improprieties alongside Crowder.
Its that course that really

UNC Sierra Student
Coalition member Jasmine
Ruddy said she fully supports
divestment on moral and economic grounds.
We believe that climate
change is one of the greatest
threats of this century, and
the coal industry is directly
contributing to that threat,
Ruddy said.
UNC has a responsibility to divest to take a moral
stance against companies that

are fueling climate change

and jeopardizing our futures.
Ruddy said this is not the
first time UNC has taken a
financial stand for a cause.
In the 1980s, UNC divested
from companies that supported apartheid in South Africa
after lengthy student protests
on campus.
Ruddy said UNC is hurting
North Carolina by investing in fossil fuel, hitting the
picturesque Appalachian
Mountains especially hard.
The coal companies that
we are invested in contribute

to major public health problems through air and water

pollution, she said.
In contrast to the Fischel
report, Ruddy said divestment provides many opportunities for UNC.
Ruddy said one of divestments advantages is avoiding
having UNCs name associated with costly mistakes that
fossil fuel companies have
made in the past.
The Environmental
Protection Agency estimates
that Duke Energy spilled
nearly 39,000 tons of coal

enrollments given the manner in which students were

enrolled in AFAM and AFRI
independent studies, Jay said.
As a result, Jay said, the
charts in the supplemental
Wainstein report documents
present data for all independent studies in the department between 1989 and 2011.
The supplementary chart to
the Wainstein report says four
athletes three basketball
players and a football player
were enrolled in independent
studies in spring 1990. The
Universitys response to the
accrediting agency said four
athletes were enrolled in irregular independent studies.
Both White and Jay said
there are no discrepancies or
contradictions between their
respective data charts.
Belle Wheelan, president of
the accrediting agency, refused
to comment for this story.

Loose threads to pull

Starting line questioned

Smith said there might be a
hidden reason for pegging the
scandals beginning to 1993.
The 1993 date is somewhat
arbitrary, Smith said. And you
have to wonder whether that
date wasnt something given to
Wainstein by Debby Crowder
and Julius (Nyangoro) themselves, perhaps as a way of protecting the 93 team the 93
championship team.
Smith said the courses
before then could have been
legitimate but simply irregu-

lar in their accommodation of

student athletes.
But Smith said the date
could also protect a championship-winning basketball team.
If the narrative is to be
changed, if the date is to be
pushed back, then that 93
team falls under a cloud in
the same way that the other
two are under a cloud.
Smith said changing the
start date has serious implications for both the basketball
program and the bigger picture surrounding the scandal.
If we push the date back
and we trace this thing to its
roots, we get a better sense of
the sorts of systemic pressures
that were operative here, that
were brought to bear and that
will always, I think, threaten
academic integrity.

ash into the Dan River in a
February 2014 spill.
Duke Energy was fined
almost $100 million but
promised that customers
will not pay for the cleanup.
Instead, the company will pay
with the money it receives
from investments.
This is just another
example of the risk that UNC
faces by continuing to be
invested in coal, she said. If
anything, divestment reduces
this risk.

MENS BASKETBALL: NORTH CAROLINA 81, GEORGIA TECH 49

Joel Berry comes into his

own at Georgia Tech

TECHNIQUE/JOHN NAKANO
Freshman point guard Joel Berry (2) had a career-high 15 points
Tuesday in North Carolinas 81-49 win over Georgia Tech.

Healthy Tar
Heels crush
Yellow Jackets
By Daniel Wilco
Senior Writer

ATLANTA Easy is rarely

exciting. There can be flashes
of pizazz, and there definitely
were in North Carolinas 81-49
win over Georgia Tech on
Tuesday. There was the token
J.P. Tokoto throwdown and
freshman Joel Berrys careerhigh 15 points.
But for the most part, it
was routine.
Marcus Paige likes routine.
Our mojos been all over the
place since ACC play, he said.
We thought we had it, and
then we went through a rough
stretch but I think were
really confident right now.
And after Tuesday night,
why wouldnt they be?
It would be unfair to say
the Yellow Jackets gave the
game away, but they came
pretty close. They did all they
could to hinder their own
cause with 11 turnovers in the
first half and 18 on the night.
Though Georgia Tech
was playing in front of what
seemed to be a Tar Heel crowd
in Atlanta, it wasnt nerves
that led to those numbers.
North Carolina had added
a few new moves to its
defense. The Tar Heels used
different rotations inside,
doubled the post on the catch
instead of the bounce and
added more scrambles than
usual, Paige said.
Hes asked to elaborate on
the scramble. Its a designed
half-court trap, he says.
When the point guard
brings the ball across the timeline, we have a trap we make
off of the first pass he makes
or a trap off whichever direction he decides to dribble,
Paige said.
As the two closest players
initiate the double team, two
more float close to the paint,
channeling a linebacker,
anticipating a hurried pass.
The fifth player drops back.
It works.
Georgia Tech had five possessions in one 86-second
span in the first half. Each one
ended with a UNC steal. The
Tar Heels added six points
off of those and 25 points off
turnovers in the game.
I think that was the whole
key to the game, said Coach
Roy Williams.
With 8:48 in the first half,
UNC stretched its lead to 10
points. Georgia Tech could
never again pull it within
single digits.
Keeping the Yellow Jackets

at bay allowed the Tar Heels to

execute a different kind of routine: one they had just put back
in practice the day before.
With just under three
minutes left to play, Brice
Johnson, Kennedy Meeks,
Justin Jackson and Paige
headed to the bench. They
were replaced by Isaiah
Hicks, Joel James, Theo
Pinson and Stilman White.
Pinson hadnt played since
fracturing his foot against
Wake Forest on Jan. 21. White
had been out since Dec. 27
against Alabama-Birmingham.
They would be joined by senior
Luke Davis, who had been sidelined all season due to injury.
We talked a lot about our
depth early in the year, Paige
said. And it took a hit.
For a change, UNCs depth
was the one throwing the
punches against a stricken
squad in Georgia Tech.
That was at least, if not
the biggest, one of the biggest
parts of the game, Williams
said. They just ran out of
personnel.
That was not a problem
for the Tar Heels, when 15 of
them took the court.
Its a lot of fun, Berry
said. Especially when were
up like that.

The freshman guard

had a career-high 15
points on Tuesday.
By Brendan Marks
Assistant Sports Editor

ATLANTA Sometimes
the biggest things come in the
smallest packages.
Sometimes it appears as
points, the byproduct of confidence oozing from the stitches
of a jersey. Other times its
assists, or blocks, or any number of minute statistics that
fail to capture the scope of a
moment. Perhaps its something different entirely, something like standing up in the
wake of humiliation.
Tuesday night, during the
North Carolina mens basketball teams 81-49 demolition of
Georgia Tech, it was all three
from one player Joel Berry.
We got some good help in
the first half pretty good
run there with Joel off the
bench, making his threes,
Coach Roy Williams said. I
think that was big for us.
And so it was, one of the
smallest of players making
the largest of contributions.
With 8:09 left in the first half
of Tuesdays romp, the six-foot
freshman had tied his careerhigh with eight points. By
halftime, Berry had bested his
previous milestone to the tune
of 11 points on 4-of-5 shooting.
But Berry was doing it like
few of his teammates have
proven capable of: He was
knocking down 3-pointers.
I want to be able to make
shots because I know I can
shoot and the coaching staff
knows I can shoot, Berry said.
Ive been just trying to put
up extra shots and you know,
hopefully itll pay off in a game.
Today it did.
So far this season that hasnt
been the case. After arriving in
Chapel Hill as the No. 17 player
in the 2014 ESPN 100, Berry
had struggled to make much

of an impact from behind the

arc. Before Tuesdays game, the
freshman guard had only made
eight 3-pointers all season.
He made three against the
Yellow Jackets alone.
But Berrys contributions
went beyond making baskets.
He helped with his handles, dribbling the length of
the court against countless
Georgia Tech double-teams.
He assisted, emotionally and
literally, with hook passes and
lobs. He even helped block
a shot midway through the
second half, swatting the ball
into the arms of yellow-andblue-clad onlookers.
All freshman point guards
talk about the struggle of
learning everything well, its
late in the year now, hes comfortable with our offense, said
junior guard Marcus Paige.
Hes got his body back feeling good, so he can be the Joel
Berry we want him to be.
For the majority of
Tuesdays contest, Berry was
but nobodys perfect.
He telegraphed a pass to a
Georgia Tech defender for the
steal and subsequent layup.

He got his body back feeling good, so he

can be the Joel Berry we want him to be.
Marcus Paige,
junior point guard

He drifted on defense, just far

enough for players to rise up
and make shots. He even got
juked, falling backwards while
trying to guard a crossover.
But none of those instances
defined his night no post
game questions arose on
the nature of his mistakes.
Instead they were all positive, cautiously optimistic of a
yet-untapped potential finally
being breached.
Ive been saying for the last
couple of weeks hes been playing a lot better, and now its
super obvious, Paige said. He
had 15 points tonight, but he
was aggressive, he took care of
the ball, he made plays.
It wasnt just the scoring.
It was a conglomeration
of things buckets, assists,
standing up after an embarrassing fall. Any one of them
would have been impressive,
but together, they held more

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Journalism should not be about attacking to

attack. It should be about asking questions,
verifying facts, challenging stakeholders

Clark Cunningham

uring any prolonged

study session, it is a safe
bet that most UNC students will take a break to browse
social media. Part of this procrastination might involve skimming easily digestible stories
with catchy headlines. These are
known colloquially as clickbait,
primarily designed to attract
attention and advertising revenue rather than to educate and
inform. While clickbait might be
entertaining, its oversimplified
and sensational style is ill-suited
to scientific coverage and should
be viewed with skepticism.
Clickbait science commits its
first error in the headlines, often
beginning with the cringeworthy phrase Science says, as if
what follows is a proclamation
by an infallible council of white
coats. In reality, this introduction is often used in stories
reporting the findings of a single
research group and does not
represent a scientific consensus,
much less arrival at the truth.
This distinction is significant
because when a different group
introduces a competing claim, it
leads to charges that scientists
cant make up their minds and
undermines public confidence
in science as an institution. In
reality, the fringes of scientific
knowledge are fraught with
controversy. While theories
like gravity and evolution have
been painstakingly verified, new
discoveries can be reinterpreted
or even refuted as our understanding of the world gradually
increases. In prioritizing hype
over substance, clickbait science
obscures this process.
It also dramatically overstates
the importance of new discoveries in the interest of generating
hype. A prime example of this
is the failure to differentiate
between tentative initial results
and well-supported conclusions.
For instance, if a research group
discovered that a chemical
found in cinnamon performs
well in laboratory tests on cancerous cells, clickbait science
would proclaim Science says
cinnamon fights cancer!, as if
a heaping spoonful of the stuff
each morning would set one on
the path to immortality.
These articles often feature
blatant appeals to emotion
by promising good news
Science says chocolate is
healthy! or fear-mongering
Science says chocolate
could kill you! Never mind
any discussion of the nuances,
such as whether these findings
could apply to a living human
or how the observed data justify the conclusions drawn.
Qualifications, hesitation
and reservations are tiresome
and are omitted in the interest
of brevity and entertainment
value. It has been said that a
lie travels halfway around the
world while the truth is putting on its shoes. These articles
might not lie outright, but by
the time any intelligent discussion of the merits of the research
begins, readers have moved on.
To be sure, sources of online
science journalism exist that are
both engaging and responsibly
reported. But finding them
requires effort on behalf of the
reader, and it is understandable
that seeking and vetting these
sources might be more work
than fun. But at the very least,
recognizing clickbait science as
such and viewing it with skepticism will inoculate readers from
the misinformation advanced by
entertainment masquerading as
scientific journalism.

The whole trees rotten

Waddells case
reminds us fraud
incentives remain.

ith the details of

UNCs athleticacademic scandal now so well-known,
what value is there in bringing to light another such
story in this case, that of
former UNC football player
Michael Waddell?
The (Raleigh) News &
Observer recently published a report detailing
graduate admissions
irregularities involving
athletes that occurred in
the early 2000s. Some,
understandably, see this
type of reporting as jour-

nalists picking at a wound

that would have otherwise
long since healed.
As those who hold this
view might have predicted, we feel differently.
However minor these
irregularities seem on
their own, their cumulative appearance in multiple areas of campus
across the years suggests
the scandals, in plural,
were not the work of a
few bad apples spoiling
the bunch.
Waddells story hints at
the existence of institutional pressures that found
release in multiple places.
And while most of those
responsible for succumbing
to those pressures have left

this University, troublingly

little has been done to
address the incentives for
this type of fraud, which
remain ingrained in the
Universitys allegiance to
the NCAAs model of major
intercollegiate athletics.
We encourage those
still paying attention
to the scandal to use
Waddells story to neither
further condemn nor
defend the University.
Instead, lets allow this
information to complicate
our understanding of the
scandals true nature.
The action we take as a
result must reflect a recognition that many fundamental causes of wrongdoing at UNC persist.

Snow more excuses

Better preparation
could reduce snows
disruptive effects.

uring a week
reminiscent
of the 2014
Snowpocalypse, Chapel
Hill and its university
learned many important
lessons. Or at least we
hope they did.
Difficulties related to
exam schedules, student
engagement and pedestrian
safety were grossly evident
last week. The community
has every reason to expect
a better-prepared town and
University in the future.

As students returned
to class on Friday, some
sat to take scheduled midterm exams despite having
been without power on
Wednesday and Thursday.
To make matters worse,
these students had no
access to university buildings after they were shuttered from Wednesday
night until Friday at 1 p.m.
The disruptive effects of
the snow cant be denied,
but professors should
take the needs of affected
students into account.
Perhaps a take-home
exam or a rescheduled
day would be an appropriate response. Professors

should consider facilitating

online discussions or activities if class cant meet.
At the same time,
University officials must
find a way to make more
timely and coordinated
decisions about class
closures and collaborate
more effectively with
transit services.
Beginning Feb. 24,
Chapel Hill Transit ran
limited routes, yet class
remained in session. If
buses are delayed and
sidewalks remain dangerously slick, how can the
University expect students
to arrive on campus in a
timely manner?

GUEST COLUMN

Paying a visit to the BOG

Why student protestors disrupted the BOGs Feb. 27 meeting

fter months of
attempting to
change the Board of
Governors collective opinion on the closing of three
UNC centers, on Friday, in
Charlotte, we decided to shut
the process down.
We, concerned students,
faculty and staff of the UNC
system, intentionally disrupted the meeting with a series
of statements.
After several students were
led away from the meeting
by police, chairman John
Fennebresque called for a
recess. We continued to chant.
Why risk arrest at an otherwise humdrum meeting?
We shut the meeting
down because of our commitment to the public
service mission of the UNC
system. We shut the meeting down for the thousands
of student, faculty, staff and
community voices ignored
in this process. We shut the
meeting down for the residents of North Carolina, who
face rapidly increasing rates
of poverty and increased voting restrictions, two issues

Dinesh McCoy
Editorial board member
Senior global studies major from
Plantation, Fla.
Email: dkmccoy@live.unc.edu

that these centers addressed

in their programming.
Most importantly, we
shut the meeting down in
recognition of the fact that
the current organizational
structure of the BOG will
continue to fail UNC community members unless
changes are made.
Faced with this, the BOG
moved to a smaller room
that could not accommodate
the public and unanimously
passed the measure to close
the centers.
I checked my phone
during a spare moment,
dismayed by the BOGs collective agreement to close

the centers. After scrolling

through texts from students
at Chapel Hill following the
live feed of the meeting, I
came across a reflection from
U.S. Congressman John
Lewis. 55 years ago today,
he posted, I was arrested for
the first time for protesting
segregated lunch counters in
downtown Nashville.
The post reminded me of
the importance of the work
we can do to speak out against
injustice. We did not change
the BOGs mind on Friday, yet
our action, like other efforts
before it, will be remembered
as a time when our leaders
failed and the public took
notice. While thousands have
already spoken out against the
decision, it is a time for us all
to take sides.
And so we ask our
Chancellor, our Provost
and our Board of Trustees,
what are you going to do?
Statements of disappointment
are not sufficient in a time
that calls for courage and the
willingness to face criticism.
Now is the time to say no to
the BOG and to mean it.

TO THE EDITOR:
A recent Daily Tar Heel
editorial about me exemplifies the very sensationalism
and unethical journalism
that have motivated me to
make a documentary film
titled Unverified. Hiding
behind the anonymity of the
editorial board, the writer(s)
have flagrantly mischaracterized the purpose of the
film and my motivation for
making it.
The entire editorial is
based on the false premise
that my blog and my film are
attempts to deny any wrongdoing took place related to
the infamous paper classes.
In the first sentence, the editorial alleges the film is dedicated to proving that UNCs
athletic-academic scandal
was imagined by headlinehungry journalists. Contrast
that to my own words in
the video for the films
Kickstarter: The true story
isnt entirely pretty. Some of
the facts will be embarrassing for the University. But
it is a story much different
from the medias sensationalized narrative.
Throughout my public
contributions to the debate
over the paper classes, I
have acknowledged that
UNC made mistakes and
needed to implement
reform. That the editorial
board would propagate
clearly false allegations to
the contrary is troubling.
My film is underscored by
my concern over the disparity between journalism as it
should be and journalism as
it is. In ironic fashion, the
DTH editorial board has
confirmed that the need for
such a film is pressing.

Tuesdays letter
wasnt fit to print
TO THE EDITOR:
I am writing to express
my disappointment in your
publishing the letter to the
editor entitled Nichol sucks
value from the University.
While P.H. Craig is a
respected member of the
Chapel Hill community
and a valued alumnus, his
opinions on Gene Nichol
and the recent Board of
Governors actions were
poorly written, and publishing his piece was not an
effective way of providing
a valid alternative perspective to the events that local
news and The Daily Tar
Heel have covered somewhat one-sidedly.
I am a supporter of Gene
Nichol and believe that the
UNC Center on Poverty,
Work and Opportunity
is one of the state and
Universitys most valuable
assets, but I have at times
been disappointed with the
coverage the DTH and the
(Raleigh) News & Observer
have provided on the matter. There are valid points
on the other side of the issue
out there, but I have not seen
them in The Daily Tar Heel.
If the goal of including

Mr. Craigs response in

todays paper was to dignify
a counterargument to other
DTH articles, that goal was
not achieved. Mr. Craigs
poorly conveyed opinions
were written in broken
English! Not to mention
that referring to the articles
Nichol published in the
News & Observer illustrating the dismal state of
poverty in our state as hate
mail discredits the objectivity of anything Mr. Craig
said in his remarks.
Likewise, calling North
Carolinas most charismatic
and widely respected civil
rights activist, Rev. William
Barber Bully Bill likens Mr.
Craig to the late Jesse Helms,
who was known for publicly
referring to Martin Luther
King as Martin Luther
Coon. If the goal of publishing Mr. Craigs remarks
was to further diminish the
other side of this issue, then
you have succeeded.
On the whole, I have
found your coverage of
the BOG events enriching and valuable, and only
ask that you provide some
of the more valid counterpoints in future arguments.
Consistently demonizing one
side numbs people to the
issues and has caused some
on our campus to discount
most of what they read on
this matter in the DTH.

North Carolinas coast

is in real danger
TO THE EDITOR:
Through a UNC program,
I will have the opportunity
to be studying and conducting research on the North
Carolina coast in the fall.
While there, the debate over
offshore drilling is going to
be not just a news story but
an everyday reality. Im going
to be interacting with the
locals there whose businesses, lives and homes could
be severely impacted by the
effects of offshore drilling.
Seismic testing for oil
and gas is likely to start in
the next year and a half. A
pit forms in my stomach
and a rage grows in my
head as I hear our state representatives going on about
the benefits of offshore
drilling. How many times
must we see tragic stories
of oil spills, chemical leaks
and waste dumping before
policies become preventative, not reactionary?
As McClatchy News Feb.
20 article Governors expect
Atlantic coast seismic testing for oil and gas in about
18 months points out, there
has been some opposition
from the scientists and coastal citizens. But, this opposition needs to get louder and
it needs to happen fast to
have any chance in stopping
drilling plans.
This means citizens across
the state must take action in
this fight and speak up about
their opposition to offshore
drilling. I hope that my time
on the coast is spent appreciating the beautiful scenery,
not fearful for its future.
