Skate park yearns to be free Tipster

Ten years after the Chapel Hill Skate Park opened
its ramps to local skaters, high prices and poor pro-
motion have sent it on a downhill grind.
To pick back up the momentum, Ryan Ogilvy, the

Students could see more Pell Grants
Proposal increases federal aid
BY jeanna smialek
staff writer
Paying for college could be easier for low-income students
under the presidential budget proposal, but middle-class stu-
dents might find it harder to take out loans.
About 1 million more students around the country would
be awarded Pell Grants in 2011 under the proposal, which
was released this week. The money comes from $68 billion in
additional spending on the program throughout 10 years.
“It may increase the amount of lower-income students
who apply for higher education and financial aid,” said Mark
Kantrowitz, publisher of FinAid.org, a financial aid Web site
for students.
But the federalization of Perkins loans, another of
Hunter Lindaman, 8, of Hillsborough, rides the ramps at the Chapel Hill Skate Park. The park,
run by Vertical Urge, wants to stop charging entrance fees for skaters and make it public.
President Barack Obama’s proposed reforms, has potential
to cost UNC students, said Shirley Ort, director of the Office
of Scholarships and Student Aid at UNC.
Perkins loans are mostly distributed by individual schools,
but if federalized, adding them to financial aid packages
could become harder.
In 2008-09, 2,563 UNC students received Pell grants,
which averaged $3,434, Ort said.
Ort said the reform comes at a time when more college
students might need financial aid because of the struggling
economy.
Kantrowitz said about 7 million students nationwide ben-
efit from Pell grants, which average $4,000.
The maximum grant for 2009-10 is set at $5,350. Obama
proposed raising that to $5,710 by the 2011-12 school year,

undergraduates from low-income families. Currently,
money is allotted to the program at Congress’ discretion,
but Obama’s proposal would make it a mandatory pro-
gram. In the 2008-09 school year, 2,563 UNC students
received Pell grants, with grants averaging $3,434.
Perkins loans: Provide loans to financially needy
students. These loans are distributed by campus admin-
istrators, who have considerable flexibility on how they
allot the money. Under the new plan, this program will
operate at a federal level. This school year, UNC received
$4 million in Perkins loans.

required that co-presidency
be shared by one male and one
female, but that rule was elimi-

The online election is only

The two candidates with the
most votes will serve as co-pres-

dedicated to addressing social
justice issues.

played 15 minutes and hauled in
seven rebounds, but didn’t add
much scoring. Larry Drew II
scored nine points and led UNC
with six assists.
During one stretch late in the
first half, Drew assisted on four
straight buckets, and the Tar Heels
(13-9, 2-5 ACC) looked in control
of the game at the close of the first
half.
Heck, Drew even cracked a smile
in the second half, something that’s
been rare for UNC in 2010.

Ort said.
The proposal would also make
Pell grant spending mandatory.
Currently, Congress decides each
year how much to spend on the
program.
To pay for the increase in Pell
grants, the Obama administra-
tion has proposed eliminating the
Federal Family Education Loan
program, which provides fed-
eral subsidies for private loans,
said U.S. Secretary of Education
Arne Duncan in a conference call
Thursday.
The program is not looking to
increase the national debt or bur-
den taxpayers with the increase, he
said.
Justin Hamilton, press secre-
tary for the U.S. Department of
Education, said federal direct loans
will have the same eligibility and
interest rates as the private loans
that many students receive but
will save the government millions
of dollars in subsidies that can
instead fund Pell grants and other
reforms.

North Carolina to provide loans to

said.
The Tar Heels actually took a
lead into the locker room at half-
time, only to get shelled by long-
range shooting from Virginia
Tech.
Malcolm Delaney led all scorers
with 21 points, including seven-
for-seven free throw shooting to
help VT (17-4, 4-3 ACC) close the
game down the stretch.
“It’s a good win,” Va. Tech coach
Seth Greenberg said. “It’s a good
program win. It validates us.”
Yet again, UNC had plenty of
chances to pull out a win but gave
up runs to start the game and in
the middle of the second half.
Those runs left UNC playing from
behind for most of the game.
Because its so rare for federal
courts to pursue cases similar to
his, defense attorneys are arguing
that the decision to indict him and
choose to pursue the death penalty
was arbitrary and based on race.
Motions filed Monday asked for
courts to rule out the possibility of
the death penalty.
They wrote that the U.S. attorney
general was nearly four times more
likely to authorize the death pen-
alty in cases where the defendant
was a young black male and the
victim was a young white female
than in other cases between 2001
and 2008.

many N.C. college students, said
the reforms to the system could
hurt some students.
Brooks, executive director of the
N.C. State Education Assistance
Authority, said students could have
to pay more for loans than in the
past to compensate for a possible
increase in interest rates.
He said that without competi-
tion, federal loan companies might
get lazy and slack on service.
“Local service is very important,”
Brooks said.
The Obama administration

“He has always been a huge
mentor and advocate for student

SBP will probably already have

with Crisp. He’s that type of guy —
he’s always been out there meeting

“Student affairs affects every-

In 2008 there were 337 property
crimes, a reduction from the 446
that occurred in 2006 and the 448
in 2007.
Residence halls have not been a
safe haven, with 26 larcenies or bur-
glaries occurring in 2009. Stolen
items ranged from money and purs-
es to earrings and electronics.
Randy Young, spokesman for
the UNC Department of Public
Safety, and Rick Bradley, assistant
director of housing, offered tips on
protecting yourself from theft.
How can students keep
items safe in their dorms?

UNC drops second straight

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL
Miami
Before Thursday’s game against
Miami, coach Sylvia Hatchell UNC
emphasized to her players the
importance of a win.
After an 80-69 loss, North
Carolina (16-5) will have to wait for
another chance. UNC dropped its
second consecutive game against a
conference opponent.
After trailing for most of the
game, UNC rallied from a 13-point
deficit to tie the game 61-61 with
7:05 remaining.
But the Tar Heels were unable to
reclaim the lead, despite a season-
high 20 points and 13 rebounds for
freshman Waltiea Rolle.
UNC remained scoreless while
the Hurricanes staged a 10-0 run
over a five-minute stretch.
It doesn’t appear the road ahead
will be any easier.
No. 6 Duke (6-1) is at the top of
the ACC standings, and UNC will
travel to Cameron Indoor Stadium
on Monday to try to avenge its loss.
North Carolina will rely on its
conference-leading scoring offense
and rebounding to get back on a
winning track.
“Every game is so important,”
Hatchell said. “One game can be
the difference between first place
and sixth place.”

closed 24/7, but this is only effective
if students refrain from opening the
door to strangers.”
Young identified “piggyback-
ing,” which happens when some-
one allows another person to pass
through a secure door, as one of the
biggest problems regarding safety.
How can students secure
rooms?
Young: “They should shut and
lock their door when they use the
bathroom or visit friends.”
Young added that it only takes a
moment for someone to come inside
and take something.
“Value resides in small packages,
which creates an opportunity for
those who are looking to rob.”

Midway through ACC play, No. 9
UNC has a 4-3 conference record.
The two other ACC losses came
against Virginia Tech on the road
and UNC’s most recent home game
against Florida State.
Those losses put UNC among
four teams that stand tied at third
place with four wins apiece.
Throughout the season, seven
ACC teams have spent time in AP
Poll. Many of them have fallen vic-
tim to upsets by their conference
opponents.
“I’ve been coaching for 24 years
now,” Hatchell said. “I don’t think
I’ve ever seen the ACC so evenly
matched.”
The outlook for the Tar Heels
will rely largely on the leadership of
two veteran players and the ongo-
ing growth of the youthful team.
The team’s scoring has fallen
largely on the shoulders of Italee
Lucas and Cetera DeGraffenreid,
who rank fourth and ninth, respec-
tively, in the conference.
Lucas and DeGraffenreid remain
the only upperclassmen among the
team’s starters and have led the
team in scoring for a combined 14
games this year.

and three apartment communities,

Bradley said he believes the
thieves are typically from within the
community instead of an outsider.
“When a door is open and there
is a wallet or a phone, it is an easy
grab”, he said.
Are rooms particularly
vulnerable to theft?
Young: “There were about 300
robberies on campus last year, but
a large percentage of those were in
open areas.”
He added that students often leave
cell phones and laptops unattended
or forget books and bags. Theft is a
lot more common in libraries, the
SRC and Student Stores, he said.

UNC freshman
Waltiea Rolle
paced the Tar
Heels with 20
points and 13
rebounds in an
80-69 loss.
“We want to do well this season,”
Hatchell said. “But at the same
time, we’re building to the future.”
Hatchell has implemented 10
different starting lineups this sea-
son, with a number of underclass-
men filling in the rotation.
The team’s youth has been test-
ed during conference play. And
Hatchell’s subsequent assessment
has been simple.
“The team needs to be mentally
tougher,” she said.
The largest deficit the team has
overcome in a win is nine points,
which came against N.C. State.
Despite rallying from a 19-point
deficit to within one point against
Florida State on Monday, the team
failed to obtain the lead.
“We did that at N.C. State, so I
know this team can do it,” she said.
“But Florida State showed we’ve
still got a lot to learn.”

U.S. to investigate Former CEO of
Toyota problems BofA is charged
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT)
— U.S. auto safety regulators
have launched a formal probe
into braking complaints on
37,000 Toyota Prius hybrids, just
after the Japanese automaker
admitted that it made changes
to the brake software in models
in production.
The National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration said
Thursday that it had opened a
preliminary evaluation of the
problems, which it said had gen-
erated 124 complaints, including
reports of four crashes. Many of
the complainants say their 2010
Prius lurches over bumps or pot-
holes and the brakes are ineffec-
tive for a few seconds.
Toyota acknowledged prob-
lems with the software in the
Prius earlier Thursday, saying it
had corrected problems with the
antilock brake system in models
sold since late last month.
The company was still decid-
ing what steps to take to fix the
problem in Prius cars sold in
Japan and overseas before late
January.

Art of Hispanic healing rituals on display

Exhibit explores theme of diaspora
By katelyn trela
STAFF WRITER
It has historically been a woman’s
job to heal the soul and spirit.
With the Sonja Haynes Stone
Center’s newest exhibit, “La
Sombra y el Espíritu: Women’s
Healing Rituals in the Diaspora,”
the tradition continues.
The exhibit, consisting of pho-
tographic self-portraits by UNC
alumna Wendy Phillips and oil
paintings by Lucía Méndez, brings
together two separate projects that
explore the role of women’s healing
rituals in Hispanic communities.
Both display strong women and
empowering figures.
Artists usually submit works to
the center, which are reviewed and
chosen by a committee. But this
project was different.
“This semester, we don’t have
an arching theme, but we’re tying
in to the performing arts theme
of the diaspora idea,” said Ursula
Littlejohn, the program coordina-
tor at the Stone Center.
This school year, UNC is linking
film, lectures and theater with the
theme of diaspora, a migration of
people from their homelands.
Joseph Jordan, director of the
Stone Center, knew both of the art-
ists and realized their works could
be combined to demonstrate the
diaspora theme.
For Phillips, a black woman who
studied in Mexico when working
on this project, her experience
with the artwork was extremely
personal.
“I had been doing family his-
tory research and because of the
circumstances of the slave trade, I
got to a point where I just couldn’t
find any more information about
my ancestors,” she said. “I just hit
a wall.”
While in Mexico, Phillips heard
about nearby communities of peo-
ple of African descent and began
working on a documentary proj-
ect. These communities inspired
Phillips’ new photography project.
“Wendy roamed to find her
place, to find her calling,” Jordan
said.
Her collection is divided into
two parts: La Limpia and La
Sombra. La Limpia is a cleansing
set, composed of Phillips’ self-
portraits taken in her garden. La
Sombra, meaning the soul or the
shadow, is a collection interpret-
ing an embodiment of the soul
devoid of the body and is made up
of smaller prints.
Méndez was not at the exhibit’s
opening Thursday, but her presence
could be felt through her bold, bright
illustrations of the healing woman.
Freshman Chelsey Robertson
joined classmates in attending the
event for extra credit.
“I think it is really cool, and I’m
anxious to hear more about them,
what they’re all about,” Robertson
said about the works.
Though they work in different
mediums, both artists speak to the
migratory theme.
“It allows us to continue to delve
into diaspora,” Jordan said at the
event. “Not only what it means,
but how it makes meaning in our
lives.”

Miel Bon Bons
blends flavors
BY grace joyal
staff writer
Biting into a delicately crafted
chocolate at Miel Bon Bons can
release fusions of pomegranate,
lavender, blood orange, rosemary,
saffron or ancho chile.
The owner of the place, Bonnie
Lau, has as many flavors — her
Hong Kong upbringing, her
French and Japanese education,
her Carrboro destination.
“Chocolate is a universal lan-
guage,” she said. “Using different
tastes brings someone back to their
home.”
Lau and her business partner,
Robert Healey, make an average of
2,500 chocolates a week by hand in
their shop in Carr Mill Mall.
Their titles range from mango
and saffron ganache to four-layered
almond truffle to lemongrass with
coconut puree.
“People’s tastes have evolved,”
Healey said. “People don’t just want
a milk chocolate anymore.”
If a chocolate is made correctly,
it should have a nice snap when
broken, Lau said. Poorly made
chocolates are grainy.
One tray of 28 square pieces of
undecorated chocolate takes Lau
half an hour to make, assuming the
temperature is stable. Healey said
chocolate is incredibly sensitive to
temperature.
“If you’ve ever opened a candy
bar and it’s white, that’s because it
is poor-tempered,” he said.
Dark chocolate is the most popu-
lar among customers, Healey said,
especially filled with rose water
raspberry ganache.
To make ganache-filled choco-
lates, Lau first coats the inside of each
spot in the tray with a thin layer of
melted chocolate, tapping the sides

of the tray to eliminate bubbles.
After the inner shell sets, Lau
squeezes ganache, a fluffy whipped
chocolate, to each shell. The filling
is made by boiling cream and infus-
ing the desired flavors, she said.
Lau feels the ganache to know
when to add the top shell of choc-
olate. She pours the chocolate
over the tray and scrapes off any
excess.
For colorful chocolates, Lau uses
food coloring powder mixed with
cocoa butter and airbrushes the
inside of each space in a tray.
The intricate designs topping
some of the pieces like a tattoo are
from transfer sheets, which are
individually sized and applied to
each chocolate.
Lau said she uses her world expe-
rience as flavoring inspiration.
Before making chocolates, she
was a pastry chef for a five-star
hotel in San Diego, Calif. In 2001,
she was inspired to go to France to
study chocolate.
While Lau finished her studies
in France, construction was begin-
ning on the Carrboro store. She
flew between France and North
Carolina while preparing to open.
Miel Bon Bons, which opened in
2008, has done well in its second
year.
“It’s like a guilty pleasure that
people can still afford,” said Anna
Pepper, owner of The Painted Bird,
another store in the mall.
Lau and Healey said they’d con-
sider expansion in the future, even-
tually offering classes in chocolate-
making and cake decorating.
“Chocolate is very special,” Lau
said. “You should treat it like a
jewel.”

I
n my last column, I expressed
my general frustration with
UNC’s course requirement
system, that cruel plague threat-
ening to overthrow our education
in favor of mindless, rote box-
checking.
Building off this theme, I
would like to address specifically
the lifetime fitness requirement,
a particularly onerous compo-
nent of our curriculum.
I can already hear many
saying, “But Olivia, lifetime fit-
ness promotes physical fitness
and teaches us healthy habits.
There’s nothing wrong with a
little exercise.”
And to those people I say yes,
indeed — if you personally enjoy
taking LFIT classes as inspira-
tion for healthy living, please be
my guest.
What I do take issue with is
everyone’s mandatory conscrip-
tion into the LFIT department,
whether we like it or not.
The purpose of universities
is to challenge us intellectually,
teach us how to think for our-
selves and allow us to gain at
least some degree of expertise in
a chosen discipline.
But for some reason,
American universities seem
intent on treating their students
as children in need of constant
prodding, not as adults seeking
higher education.
Illogically, the lifetime fitness
classes aim to instill in us a “life-
time” commitment to health upon
the completion of a one-semester
walking class. We are told that
this is for our own good, to
improve our physical fitness, and
we have to accept it.
But more than simply a sense-
less attempt to combat the obe-
sity “epidemic” through about
32 hours of exercise total, the
lifetime fitness requirement is an
obvious example of the degree
to which American students
are denied their proper share of
adulthood.
Telling me that I am unable
to monitor my own health at the
age of 20 is akin to telling me
that I am not really an adult,
that I have more to learn before
I can be trusted to handle my
own life.
It means that an undergradu-
ate degree is no more about
pursuing an academic field than
it is about learning elementary
school-level health concepts.
Most importantly, I am effec-
tively denied autonomy over my
own body.
Unfortunately, this privacy
invasion is incredibly common in
American universities.
Sharing rooms denies us any
sort of real privacy; like students
in a boarding school, we are
expected to sleep side-by-side
and forced to give up the level
of personal space that adults are
assumed to need.
In the same way, America’s
war on underage drinking is no
more than a misguided attempt
to treat adults as children;
again, our bodies are not our
own, because even a drop of
alcohol makes us technically
guilty.
While exercise is certainly
necessary for a healthy lifestyle,
a childish fitness requirement
is an unfortunate testament to
American universities’ unwilling-
ness to cede parental control over
their students.
We legally become adults
at 18, and as adults we should
have the right to run twice a
week or not, to share a room
or live singly, to drink a beer or
teetotal.
Either way, I expect UNC to
give me a high-level understand-
ing of English literature, not a
mindless series of laps around a
track.

UNC should remain commit-

The model of funneling

UNC into a financial arms race,

Football and basketball are

By Nate Beeler, The Washington Examiner
Last year, the athletics
department reported a surplus
of just $200,000, compared to
a $6 million profit at Florida.
But Florida supports only 16
varsity teams, the minimum
required by the NCAA to be a
Division I school. UNC, by con-
trast, funds 28 varsity sports.
The current model is clearly
strained. The answer, though, is
not entering into an arms race
in an effort to catapult UNC
football to national prominence
— and to ramp up revenue.
Increased funding for the
football program reaps improved
facilities, like the $10 million
sports medicine facility opening
in 2010. Proponents argue this
improves player performance,
which leads to more wins.
Provided the team wins,
better recruits could decide to
play for UNC. And more wins
means more revenue.
But then, of course, that addi-
tion,” said Student Body Vice
President David Bevevino.
The student body president
candidates have already solicited
a lot of student ideas. Candidates
tend to incorporate student
input in crafting platforms, and
they hear from students regu-
larly at campaign forums.
But this town hall process
nevertheless has unique advan-
tages that stand to help Jones’
replacement.
First, it gives Jones a final
initiative to pursue during her
lame duck tenure. Jones’ great-
est strength is her personality,
which she can use to really cson-
nect with students.
Second, the town halls will
give student government the
most recent sentiments of the
sells for about $342,000.
With such high pricing, town
officials are worried that lower-
to medium-income workers are
finding it harder and harder to
live in the area. And they are
right to be concerned.
The real crux of the issue,
though, is whether this is the
best way to go about providing
affordable housing — not if the
housing is needed.
An ordinance would hinder
the town’s ability to negotiate
and attract developers, who
might be less willing to work
with the town because of the
concrete policy. So main-
taining a level of flexibility is
important.
Further, having developers
set aside low-cost units is not

tional revenue goes toward even
more state-of-the-art facilities
and even higher coach salaries.
It is a self-perpetuating cycle
that carries budgets into the
stratosphere with little hope
for decelerating.
And there is no guarantee
increased funding will even
improve our football program
at all. UNC’s expenditure
growth will almost certainly
be matched, if not outpaced, by
more prestigious football pro-
grams like Texas and Florida.
The University can continue
to place a priority on sports like
football and basketball — but
not at the expense of the small-
er non-revenue sports.
Entering a money war with
traditional football power-
houses guarantees one thing:
huge expenditures. It does
not guarantee what’s far more
important — tangible benefits

Jones hosted the first of eight
planned forums on Monday
in the lounge of Mangum
Residence Hall, in the Olde
Campus Upper Quad commu-
nity. She will host seven more
in the coming weeks.
Jones said about 20 students
came to the first town hall. But
more should come to her future
meetings.
This is a valuable way to con-
nect with student government
and influence the priorities of
the new administration.
As the end of the Jones admin-
istration approaches, students
should take every opportunity to

tion starts off on the right foot.
the only way to address the
affordable housing issue.
In Carrboro, developers have
the option to donate money
and time to the Community
Home Trust, an organization
that provides homes between
$90,000 and $150,000, priced
between 30 and 50 percent
below their appraisal values.
This functions as a workable
alternative.
The idea behind the town’s
ordinance is important.
Making sure there is low-cost
housing in Chapel Hill should
be a priority.
But adding a strict ordi-
nance is not the right way to
go. Chapel Hill should remain
as flexible as possible so as not
to drive developers away.
