which only requires a GPA of 3.2 for students tak-
ing 15 or more hours of graded credit.
The change, implemented by the Dean’s Council,
will likely drop the percentage of undergraduate
students who qualify for the Dean’s List from about
40 percent to about 25 percent. It will only affect
incoming students, and current students will be
judged by the old metric.
The change is a recognition by administrators that
GPAs have increased and something might have to be
done to address the trend, a contentious issue that has
held the faculty’s attention for more than 10 years.

Students bouncing back after house fire
By anika anand
senior writer
It’s been more than three weeks
since four students lost their house to
a fire that destroyed nearly everything
they owned.
The 506 Church St. residence burned
down Mar. 1 as a result of a discarded
cigarette on the porch, said Chapel Hill
Fire Marshal Matt Lawrence.
But for every comment the house-
mates make about their sense of loss,
there is an expression of gratitude for the
support they’ve received from others.
Junior Austin Monroe, one of the
housemates, said he knew his close
friends were going to help, but was
surprised when complete strangers
were offering toiletries, clothes and
furniture.
“I haven’t felt a huge sense of loss
as much as I’ve felt such a community
come out,” he said.
Junior Kathryn Rathbun said she
never felt a part of the Chapel Hill com-
munity her first two years at UNC, but all
that’s changed in the last three weeks.
“I feel like people have just come out
of the woodwork that I never talk to,” she
said. “You think they don’t care until they
have a reason to show that they do.”
After the fire, the roommates stayed
with some friends at the liberal arts
fraternity St. Anthony Hall. Afterward,
the University provided free housing at
Ehringhaus Residence Hall and emer-
gency money for the students.
Now they are living in two side-by-
side duplexes on Hillsborough Street
that the landlord of their burned house
helped them find.
And people are continuing to help.

Jamila Reddy, a close friend of all the
roommates, created a Facebook event
called “Fundraiser for 506 Church St.
Residents” as a result of an overwhelm-
ing number of people asking how they
could help.
“Those are my friends, and I care
deeply about them,” she said. “I want
to make sure they can get back on their
feet.”
The Facebook group’s wall is filled
with offers of furniture, clothes, toilet-
ries and vehicles to help them move.
“It didn’t surprise me in the least,”
Reddy said. “They were always open to

Station still profitable
By Hannah Weinberger
STAFF Writer
Most people make their college deci-
sions based on major offerings, athletics or
campus aesthetics, but the caliber of North
Carolina Public Radio is what caught senior
journalism major Will Gorham’s eye.
“I didn’t know about the rivalry with
Duke. I didn’t know how popular the school
was nationwide. I honestly was looking at
being near public radio,” said Gorham, an
intern at WUNC 91.5 FM.
According to Program Director David
Brower, Gorham’s decision to involve him-
self with WUNC specifically was a wise
choice.
“Career-wise, it’s a destination, and for
our listeners, we outperform our market
size,” said Brower, who has worked in pub-
lic radio since his teenage years and has
listened to Chapel Hill radio stations just
as long.
The station’s success has allowed it to sur-
vive the current economic downturn. While
WUNC’s corporate support has taken a turn
for the worse, General Manager Connie
Walker noted that individual contributions
are ahead, largely due to the station’s abil-
ity to adapt to the new economic environ-
ment.
“Last year, we changed our messaging to
talk about the fact that underwriting was
down,” Walker said. “While we did trim our
budget last year by almost a million dollars,
we have not had to lay anybody off. We’re
very fortunate compared to many other pub-
lic radio stations.”
Walker is presenting the good news today
to the Board of Trustees, which holds the sta-
tion’s Federal Communications Commission
license.
The station’s success comes from its core
programming, which consists of nationally
syndicated news segments.
Despite its virtues, Walker said she

REVIEW BY THE LIGHT PINES REVIEW BY MAX INDIAN REVIEW BY RYAN GUSTAFSON

Courtesy of Josh Pope DTH file photo dth File/Jordan Lawrence

Max Indian: “Never and Always” — Like a dark creature pound-
ing on the door, Indian’s Carter Gaj and James Wallace evolve by
melting into vapor and escaping into the ether. Spinning around
and back again to shape a classic. “Dark of Night” — Flying from
the cold metal antennae of a lonely radio station and caught by
your ears as if by magic you’re a child again.
Ryan Gustafson: “Heaven” — A master of channeling himself,
Ryan gives us a song to die to. Walking for the next step, bound
by fate, as long as the Earth is beneath you, you’re in heaven. “The
Desert” —The only fear anyone should adhere to is the fear of an
empty life. Ryan asks us all to fill our deserts with whatever, for him
it is what you hear, for you it is what he is.
The Light Pines are an obsessive love-sick psychedelic dream.
“White Forest” is a quick-stunner about secrets and anonymity.
Peter Gun hits the runway and then freaks out. And everything
in the arrangement’s a hook. “Climbing Towards You” is all about
attack and release. Over a bed of thundering drum stomps, the
melody of the ancient ritual dance is featured on synth console
as the spaceship approaches warp-speed.
Ryan Gustafson is capturing his life in song. There’s “Heaven,”
in which the weary traveler stumbles into town and finds himself
adrift in the woozy haze. And in its flipside, “The Desert,” the
traveler wakes at dawn to lick his wounds and move on. There’s
always tomorrow.
Max Indian: Though they have been given many labels and
titles such as “retro”, “low fi”, “through back”, etc., as a close friend
and band mate, I have seen that Max Indian has never done
anything other than create a honest representation of the world
they live in.
You can expect nothing less with “Never and Always” and
“Dark of Night.”
The Light Pines: The Pines are one of the most exciting rock
bands to come out of the area.
This is a great “debut”, almost sneak-peek, of only more to
come. These two tracks are like a kaleidoscope, constantly re-
arranging a sound that seems familiar.

Jacki Huntington: I
guess it is a good combination of
pop and Americana and blues and
punk. I just think it’s hard to think
about your style. It can be really
limiting focusing on a genre you
think you embody.
Dive: As an unsigned artist,
what has the recording process
been like?
JH: Well, I’ve been playing
music as Jacquelyn Lee for about
5 years, and I started out just
recording things on tape record-

type of stuff, just out of necessity.
I never really thought of anything
else being possible for me because
I was really just limited by what I
could do by myself.
In the past few months since
September, I’ve been working in
a studio environment with some
people from Vinyl Records in their
Hill Hall studio. That was nice in
a way, because you can get a really
pure sound, but at the same time,
it is limiting in that there is not a
lot of character to the space, and
for me that led to lacking character
in music.
Dive: In terms of your live
shows, how do those usually go?
JH: So I usually just plan a set
list and follow it fairly strictly, but
I like to just go with whatever hap-
pens. I’m kind of improvisational.
If I screw up in a song, I don’t make
a big deal out of it. I mean, it is

SWEETGRASS
“Sweetgrass,” subtitled “The Last
Ride Of The American Cowboy,”
documents the remarkable story of
two shepherds herding 3,000 sheep
for summer pasture in the moun-
tains of south-central Montana
along a 150-mile journey filled with
dangers and challenges.
Ilisa Barbash and Lucien
Castaing-Taylor pay homage to
this final drive and the way of life
that disappeared with it. Rancher
Lawrence Allested becomes the
last person to take his sheep into
the Absaroka-Beartooth moun-
tains on a federal grazing permit.
Alternately epic and detailed,
the documentary succeeds in part
because it combines the bound-
less wilderness with the minute
details of the animals. The camera
jostles among the sheep as often as
it observes the herd from nearby
mountain ridges.
The absence of narration proves
to be a bold and excellent choice
for this project. Words would have
distracted from the hypnotic noises
of the sheep and the quiet manner-
isms of the two warm and funny
shepherds undertaking this seem-
ingly impossible journey.
“Sweetgrass” crystallizes in an
emotional phone call to the civi-
lized world from a mountaintop.
The shepherd shows his sense
of defeat, and he begins to break
down. It’s a masterful scene, full of
tenderness and sadness, evoking
the loneliness of the wilderness and
the brutal hardships these brave
herders face.
The cumulative impact of
“Sweetgrass” is powerfully stirring,
allowing the viewer to sink into a
different rhythm of life that is gov-

shapes everything his band, the
Austin, Texas-based, orchestrally
minded Shearwater, does.
He describes the band’s new
album The Golden Archipelago as
the last piece in a triptych, the cul-
mination of the themes and styles
running through the band’s last
two releases. For him, it’s the end
of an artistic vision that has lasted
almost five years.
Shearwater plays Local 506

for a long chat about his art, his
politics and his plans for the future.
The first half of this interview fol-

online on the Diversions Blog.
Diversions: How’s the tour

Jonathan Meiburg:
Tour’s been great. We just got back
from Europe the day before yester-

The audiences were bigger than

the same for them.”
Furniture, especially beds, are
still a big need for the roommates.
They also all commented on how
nice it would be to have books for
their classes. Reddy said the big dol-
lar items, like laptops, are obviously
more difficult to have donated, so
she’s planning a fundraiser on April
3 at Jack Sprat.
p.m. It will be held in the parking
lot next to the Smith Center, which
has a capacity of 12,000, said John
Harris, public relations director for
GenerAction.
Kingston, a 20-year-old hip-hop
and reggae fusion artist, reached
the top of the Billboard Hot 100
with his first single, “Beautiful
Girls,” in 2007.
Harris said GenerAction chose
Kingston partly because he’s the
same age as students.
“He’s a great voice to kick off this
movement,” Harris added.
All the money collected at the
door will go to the four students, co-
owner Kyle Heath said.
“We said that no one cares,”
housemate Sheina Taub, a junior,
said. “But frankly, as cheesy as it
sounds, every human being has
some amazing amount of good in
them, which I never thought I’d say
truthfully.”
It was their cynical outlooks on
life that brought them together,
Rathbun said.
Students had mixed reactions to
the choice of Kingston.
Junior Adam Pasour said he
doesn’t care for Kingston and was
more interested in the local acts
that will open the show, but knew
many of his friends would be excit-
ed about the concert. Like most
students, he said he is swayed by
the discounted ticket price.
“I’d pay 10 bucks to go, if some
friends are going,” Pasour said.
Contact the University Editor
at udesk@unc.edu.
“I’m pretty skeptical about the
goodness of people and it restored
my faith,” said housemate Jesi
Harris.
Rathbun also reflected on the
value of material things in life.
“It was really liberating to real-
ize that even when you don’t have
the things you think make you you,
you’re still you.”

National and World News
U.S. and Russia
close to a pact
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT)
— The U.S. and Russia are close
to signing an agreement to slash
their arsenals of nuclear weap-
ons, officials said Wednesday, set-
ting the stage for the two former
Cold War rivals to sign a treaty in
Prague shortly after Easter.
“We’re very close to getting an
agreement,” White House press
secretary Robert Gibbs said.
He said the two countries can’t
finalize the deal until President
Barack Obama speaks personally
with Russian President Dmitry
Medvedev.
The new pact is expected to
limit deployed U.S. and Russian
nuclear arsenals to 1,500 to 1,600
warheads each, a reduction from
a limit of 2,200.
U.S. behind on Democrats face
clean-energy plan 10-plus threats
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT)­
— The United States fell far
behind China last year in the race
to invest in so-called “clean ener-
gy” technology, such as wind and
solar power, an exhaustive new
report from the Pew Charitable
Trusts has found.
America has also fallen behind
10 other countries — includ-
ing Italy and Mexico — in clean
energy investment as a share of
the overall economy.
Because it lacks national man-
dates for renewable energy pro-
duction or a price on greenhouse
gas emissions that would make
fossil fuels more expensive, the
United States has a “compara-
tively weak clean energy econo-
my,” the report declares.
LOS ANGELES (MCT) —
Democrats who voted for the
health care overhaul legislation
have been threatened, party
leaders said Wednesday, calling
on Republican leaders to jointly
condemn the incidents.
At a news conference,
Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of
Maryland and Majority Whip
James Clyburn of South Carolina
condemned the 10-plus threats.
Authorities including the Capitol
Police and the FBI are investi-
gating, they said.
The incidents include the
shouting of racial epithets and
homophobic comments, putting
legislators’ addresses online and
using posters of lawmakers’ faces
in the cross hairs of a target.

dean’s list
from page 1
spring 2009, is a recognition of
high-achieving students. But some
students and faculty members ques-
tion its relevance.
“I’m interested in the Dean’s
List so far as where it gets me in
the future,” said Piya Kerdlap, a
freshman environmental science
major. Kerdlap said he’s interested
in making a good GPA but is more
concerned with skills, which he
said would benefit him more in
the long run.
The Dean’s Council will re-
examine the standards in five years
to see if it needs to make changes.
The standards were last adjust-
ed in 1995, when UNC also raised
the requirement to limit the list to
about 25 percent of students.
“This is an old, venerated tradi-
tion that a lot of people, including
alumni, parents and students, care
about,” Perrin said at a committee
meeting in March. “But it’s neither
fair nor valid as a current measure.”
The change, administrators rec-
ognize, will do nothing to address
rising GPAs and departmental dis-
parities. GPAs nationally are rising
at a rate of about 0.1 every 10 years.
At UNC, they rose from 2.992 in fall
1995 to 3.213 in fall 2008.
It does not address how the list
affects departments differently and
punishes students in those less
likely to give out high grades. It is
Undergraduates on the Dean’s List
Thirty-nine percent of undergraduates were on the Dean’s List in Spring 2009. The
high number has led the increase in the minimum GPA requirement for the list.

Administrators say addressing
those issues will require larger
changes, but they felt the Dean’s
List was not the place for that.

but still have it be meaningful,” said
Bruce Carney, interim executive vice
chancellor and provost, who will

mittee will bring a proposal to
the Faculty Council on April 23
to address grading practices. This
proposal likely will be an increase
in the amount of information
reported with grades, Perrin said.
This could include distributions
on transcripts and greater infor-
mation-sharing among depart-
ments, professors and the UNC
community.
How to make the Dean’s List
UNC Chapel Hill:
Old policy:
(1) A 3.2 semester GPA with no grade lower than a C if
enrolled in at least 15 hours of letter-grade credit.
(2) A 3.5 GPA with no grade lower than a C if enrolled
in at least 12 but fewer than 15 hours of letter-grade
credit.
Dean’s List at Other Schools:
University of Virginia:
Earn a 3.4 semester GPA or better with an approved
course load of 12 or more graded credits. Failing grades
make students ineligible for the list.
University of Michigan:
Complete at least 12 semester hours of work during the Complete 12 or more graded credits with a semester
fall or spring semester for letter grades and have a grade GPA of 3.5 or higher.
point average of at least 3.5 for the semester
UCLA:
Complete 15 units (at least 12 units of letter-grade cred-
it) with a GPA of at least 3.7. Only courses applicable to
an undergraduate degree are considered toward eligibil-
ity for Dean’s Honors.
games
New policy:
Full-time students with at least 12 hours of letter-grade
credit with a 3.5 GPA and no grade lower than a C.
UC Berkeley:
Complete 13 or more letter-graded units and earn a GPA
that ranks in the top 4 percent of the College of Letters
and Sciences undergraduates (normally about 3.85-3.9).
University of Maryland - College Park:
Duke University :
Earn a GPA that ranks in the highest third of students
in their respective college, complete at least four course
credits for a regularly assigned grade and receive no
incomplete or failing grades. Students who earn semes-
ter GPAs that place them in the highest 10 percent of
undergraduates in their college will receive the Dean’s
List with Distinction honor.

Feeling
better
can be
dangerous
Y
ou’ve probably heard
about the power of positive
thinking. In a nutshell, the
theory states that when we affirm
something and believe in our-
selves, it’s more likely that we will
achieve our goals.
So it comes as no surprise that
the reverse process works just as
well.
Thinking about the nega-
tive parts of something in your
life can change your beliefs and
actions toward it.
This can have good and bad
results.
Say you have had some really
strong positive feelings about
summer. But as it turns out, you
won’t be able to enjoy the sun
and the beach because you’ll be
working an internship in Siberia
from May to August.
What you will probably
start doing immediately, and
what you should start doing
to become happier about your
situation, is start focusing on
the positives of Siberia and the
negatives of summer here.
It can be really humid here
during the summer, and there
are bugs. Plus you get bored
just hanging out with your sib-
lings for months. And Siberia
won’t be too bad. This intern-
ship really pushes your career
aspirations and it will be excit-
ing and interesting. Who cares
if you don’t speak Russian?
Boom. All of a sudden you
feel better about your prospects.
The mixture of focusing on the
positive and casting doubt on the
previously good prospect helps
you feel better.
But feeling better, as we’ll see,
can be dangerous.
Not everyone can be as lucky
as you to land that pivotal intern-
ship in Siberia, so let’s choose an
example that hits closer to home.
Pretend for a moment that you
have an 8 a.m. class in Peabody
Hall.
It’s a struggle to get there some
mornings; it’s so tempting to skip
instead.
One morning you lie in bed
and consider whether or not
you’ll go.
It’s really early in the morn-
ing and exceedingly far away, so
other people probably are going
to miss it, right?
You normally contribute to
class, so since the professor
knows you care she won’t be too
angry with you.
The last time you were in
class it was particularly slow.
Your friend leaned over and
whispered: “Wow, we pretty
much never learn anything in
this class. Why are we even
here?”
Watch out for phrases like
that, because they are some of the
most influential in the armory of
negative thinking.
When you give yourself an
excuse to not do something that
can last for a whole semester,
you’re doing yourself a disservice.
Imagine if you instead had
thought to yourself about the
greatest time you’ve ever had in
that class.
You were on fire and
answered several questions. You
made a joke and the professor
laughed and you got your latest
essay back with a perfect score.
Right now you’re feeling pretty
content to go back to sleep for a
couple of hours, but that content-
ment is not a sign that you’re
making the right decision.
So keep in mind that negative
thinking can have a big effect
on your actions. If you focus on
the good parts of something, be
it your class, the gym or your
significant other, then you can
disempower negative thinking
and probably lead a happier,
more successful life.

Change the culture
Administration needs to view transparency as an asset
T
he culture of closed
processes in selecting
administrators needs to
change.
Recent searches by the
University to fill key adminis-
trative positions have shown
half-hearted efforts at trans-
parency. They indicate a sen-
timent that open records and
open meetings requirements
are an obstacle rather than an
asset.
The most recent iteration of
the impulse toward opacity is,
of course, the sudden selection
of Bruce Carney as the new
provost.
It has been said before on
this page that Carney may very
well be an excellent candidate.
But that is a conclusion that
the UNC community was pre-
vented from reaching. Carney
was hired without ever being a
candidate, without being pub-
licly vetted and without open-
ing up his candidacy to the
broader campus.

Get graduation rates up
New rule would recognize athletes are students, too
A
proposal to require
NCAA Division I bas-
ketball teams to gradu-
ate at least 40 percent of their
students is a great step to fur-
ther the underlying principle of
college athletic programs: prep-
aration for life after sports.
The proposal is the culmina-
tion of a study by a University
of Central Florida researcher
into the racial gap in basket-
ball player graduation rates.
Teams that do not graduate 40
percent of their students would
be barred from participating in
the postseason.
Currently, 84 percent of
white and 56 percent of black
Division 1 basketball players
graduate. The proposed bench-
mark of 40 percent, therefore,
targets only those universities
with the lowest student-athlete
academic performance.

W
hen moving off cam-

seriously consider
acquiring a renter’s insurance
policy.
Recent events have empha-
sized how important this pro-
tection is.
A group of four students were
displaced last month when a
fire started in the home they
rented. None of those students
had renter’s insurance. There
was also a noticeable jump in
robberies last fall.
But this should lead us not to
be scared, but instead take pre-
ventative measures to insure
ourselves against the worst.

spent on a process that yielded
an internal and impromptu
pick. It contradicts the notion
that a closed search yields a
more successful result.
The same vein runs through
Chancellor Holden Thorp’s
selection. The candidate pool
and all discussion regarding it
was largely a mystery.
Minutes from the chancellor
search committee meetings are
a farce. They generally consist
of the same pattern: opening
remarks, closed session to dis-
cuss candidates, return to open
session and adjournment. It
defeats the entire purpose of
keeping minutes.
And it doesn’t have to be this
way.
Florida provides a great
counterexample. The state
has a strong “sunshine law”
that calls for open records and
meetings.
Lawrence Abele, the cur-
rent provost at Florida State
University, has held his posi-
tion for nearly two decades.
While the proposal is intend-
ed to help bridge this gap, it
also incentivizes universities
to ensure their athletes are well
prepared for life after college.
The NCAA estimates that
only 1.2 percent of male senior
basketball players will be draft-
ed by the NBA. That leaves
more than 98 percent in search
of a job outside of professional
sports. It is the responsibil-
ity — indeed, the duty — of an
educational institution to make
sure these college athletes can
be successful off the court.
At UNC, the graduation rate
of basketball players is 75 per-
cent. John Blanchard, senior
associate director of athletics at
UNC, said that while he thinks
there are problems with the
proposal, something needs to
be done about underperform-
ing athletes.
affordable. For instance, an aver-
age student could get a policy for
as low as about $10 a month.
These policies typically pro-
vide protection against loss
of property from fire, theft or
vandalism.
For a small fee, you can be
protected. It is by no means an
excuse to be reckless, but if an
emergency should occur, it’s
nice knowing you’re covered.
Some agencies will even pay for
your temporary housing costs
if you are displaced.
And for those of us grad-
uating, now is the time to
re-evaluate the value of our
belongings and our own vul-
nerabilities as we adjust to a

During his tenure, he has led
two presidential search com-
mittees.
Abele said records of the
consulting firm hired to assist
in the selection are open, as is
the candidate pool. The com-
mittee he led ultimately nar-
rowed the broader pool of can-
didates and held open meet-
ings with all of them.
Abele recognized that
sometimes candidates prefer
a closed process because they
don’t want it to be made public
that they are considering leav-
ing their current position.
But when asked on the
whole if the transparency of
his searches hindered the out-
comes, his response was crystal
clear: “No — they don’t.”
Laws that promote open
processes must be met with
the recognition of the virtues
of transparency.
As a public institution and
the flagship university of the
state, UNC would do well to
rethink its approach.
The overarching purpose
of a university is to educate.
Student-athle tes are not
exempt from this; in fact, their
academic performance should
receive special attention.
Athletes are recruited to col-
leges primarily because of their
physical talents, not their intel-
lectual wherewithal. But regard-
less of the student, a university
should seek to educate and pre-
pare all those who attend.
The proposed 40 percent
benchmark will encourage
universities to make sure they
do not focus just on a student’s
performance on the basketball
court.
When it comes to the stu-
dent, the most important
aspect of college are the ben-
efits and opportunities it will
provide not for four years, but
a lifetime.
new life.
Focusing on a new career or
living in a new city may sound
overwhelming, but renter’s
insurance should be part of the
equation.
Just like car and health
insurance are considered
necessities, so should renter’s
insurance.
All it takes is a call to your
insurance provider of choice to
get started.
So when signing the lease
to your first apartment or
renewing your current one, be
responsible. There’s no excuse.
Not only is renter’s insurance
the sensible thing to do, but it’s
affordable too.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Never too late to plan
ahead and study abroad
TO THE EDITOR:
Although the application
deadline for summer and fall
2010 study abroad programs
has passed, as class registration
approaches, I want to encourage
all students to consider study
abroad and to plan their courses
accordingly.
As a self-proclaimed study
abroad addict, it saddens me to
hear my first-year and sopho-
more friends say that they cannot
fit a study abroad experience into
their undergraduate career due to
difficulty meeting major and gen-
eral education requirements.
Among the literally hundreds of
study abroad programs available
to UNC students, many programs
from Buenos Aires to Paris to
Hong Kong and Singapore allow
students (even science majors) to
fulfill major requirements.
Also, I encourage students
not to lose hope due to the rath-
er daunting price tag of some
study abroad programs. Many
programs (especially exchange
programs) are comparable in
cost, if not cheaper than an
equivalent length of study in
Chapel Hill.
And there are many sources of
funding to help defray the costs
of studying abroad, especially
for less common study abroad
destinations such as Asia. The
Phillips Ambassadors scholar-
ship allowed me to spend my
sophomore year in China.
Many students consider
studying abroad one of their
most rewarding experiences in
college.
Study abroad is accessible to

DTH publishing letters not
accurately reflecting issue
TO THE EDITOR:
As one of the organizers of the
gender-neutral language teach-
in, I have been very disappointed
with The Daily Tar Heel’s subse-
quent coverage of the event and
its demands.
Rather than publishing mea-
sured dialogue on gender, lan-
guage and modern feminist
concerns, the DTH has chosen
to prominently feature sarcas-
tic, anti-academic arguments
against neutrality. It has failed
to include even one anti-gender-
neutral letter that does not resort
to ridicule and contempt.
Editor-in-Chief Andrew Dunn
himself did not actually attend
the teach-in, which was attend-
ed by more than 100 concerned
community members.
In his hastily written editorial,
(“Gender neutral: Let’s find the
best way to address gender ineq-
uities”, March 19) he implored the
UNC-Chapel Hill community to
get to the root of the problem, but
did not include any suggestions
as to what these foundations are
or how to address them. Dunn
clearly wrote his opinion piece

with little to no background on
feminist concerns. Why didn’t
Dunn make every effort to learn
about all sides of the issue before
making judgments?
Many scholars at UNC-
CH and around the world
use a societal model to exam-
ine harmful attitudes toward
women and LGBTQ-identified
individuals.
Some of these include the
commodification of their bodies
in advertising, the mainstream
acceptance of pornography,
homophobic attitudes (“That’s
so gay!”), men’s perpetual vio-
lence against women and, yes,
non-inclusive language.
All of these seemingly unim-
portant attitudes and behaviors
work together to create an envi-
ronment that is often hostile or
unsafe for women.
Simple changes that help move
us even slightly closer to a safer,
more equal society are stepping
stones to wider change.

Language policy should
exclude archaic terms
TO THE EDITOR:
In Andrew Stiles’ letter-to-
the-editor (“Gendered language
hardly the root cause of injus-
tice,” March 24), he argues that
getting rid of gendered terms like
“freshman” and “chairman” cre-
ates a slippery slope that would
lead to getting rid of terms like
“upper-level students” because it
suggests juniors and seniors are
more serious students than first-
years and sophomores.
But the term “seniors” already
privileges fourth-year students
over third-year students whom
we refer to as “juniors.” What
would be better to use than either
“upper-level students” or terms
like “juniors” and “seniors,” are
first-years, second-years, third-
years, fourth-years, and so-on.
Much of the rest of the world,
including the University of
Virginia, already uses this termi-
nology. I suspect that those who
protested to end the use of sex-
ist language in the DTH would
also like to get rid of words like
“sophomore” and “junior.”
Getting rid of sexist language
is the first step. Let’s join the rest
of the world and use a number to
refer to each level. Then no one
would have to say “I’m a fifth-
year senior.”
I have friends who went to
school in Canada and Great
Britain and they tell me they
never missed sexist terms like
“freshman” when they were at
college. They also find “sopho-
more” insulting (given “sopho-
moric”) and “junior” and “senior”
meaningless.
One of them asked me, “If you
take the word ‘junior’ seriously,
why aren’t first-years called
‘juniors’?”
So in addition to ending sex-
ist language like “upperclass-
men,” let’s go further and get rid
of these archaic terms that really
make no sense when applied to
undergraduate students. We
need more change, not less.
