New policy to

n Friday, Jan. 29, friends and family of UNC graduate Priya Balagopal gathered in the Pit for a candlelit vigil
to honor her memory. Junior Anita Simha (center) was among those who lit candles. The vigil included several
speakers, who played influential roles in Priyas life. Priya Balagopal died by suicide earlier this month.
school.
Her post said, we live near
UNC burn center if your family needs a place to stay while
visiting.
Davison said she would have
appreciated someone reaching
out in that manner if she was in
the Bishops situation.
I myself have had situations
like that where my brother went
through a bout of cancer. My
son, when he was little, had
heart surgery, so I know how
that can be, she said.
Chynces said the family is
grateful for support coming
in from many different places,
such as the GoFundMe, church
groups and the University.
Weve had overwhelming
support from people from the
University, she said.
Definitely feeling the love
and the family vibe from everyone.

For junior Ryan Fockler, balancing UNC and home life simply became too much.
The coupling of school and
everything family, work, things
like that outside of school got
to be a lot, Fockler said. And the
school got too overwhelming.
Fockler, a biomedical engineering major, is no stranger to stress,
but he decided to take off part
of the fall semester and all of the
spring semester to find stability.
Its definitely made the stress
more bearable, but there are
other things like what are you
doing to do with your time off
and having it on your transcripts,
Fockler said. When youre looking for a job, people ask what you
did with the time. So Im looking
for internships to fill up the time.
Fockler stopped attending
classes in early October, but his
medical withdrawal was not official until November for financial
aid reasons.
Waiting has an effect, he
said. It makes it so that I dont
have to pay the school back,
otherwise its prorated and they
have to charge.
While Fockler originally
planned on only taking a semester

EDITORIAL
ctivism is, by
definition, risking something.
In the case of the protestors at Tuesdays Board of
Governors meeting, the
activists present risked
their physical well-being,
their arrest records and,
in the case of the UNC
student charged with a felony, their very democratic
franchise.
We respect and
applaud, without regard to
points of political agreement, the courage of those
protestors that were tenacious enough to attend an
emergency meeting, make
their concerns known and
put their own bodies on
the line in support of their
strong convictions.
In any conflict, tactics
are a matter of battleground and resources at
hand. Strategy contains
a longer view portfolio of
various tactics to achieve
strategic goals. They are
chosen based on historical
efficacy and momentary
instinct.
The Daily Tar Heels
editorial board has largely
positioned itself strategically, if not tactically, in
view of the same goal
as the activists forcibly
removed last week. We
EDITORIAL
TO THE EDITOR:
This letter is in response
to the recent article regarding LGBTQ members in
Greek organizations across
campus.
As a queer student not
involved in Greek life at
UNC, I would wholeheartedly disagree with
Seth Patersons statement
that homophobia is not
a problem within the
Interfraternity Council.
It would seem to me that
LGBTQ students, as well as
students of color, are those
most ostracized and marginalized by IFC fraternities.
LGBTQ students are
repeatedly told by IFC
fraternity members that
if they were to pledge a
fraternity, they would not
receive a bid because they
are LGBTQ. This is not
something that is alluded
to; these are words coming directly from those
IFC fraternity members
who control the bidding
process.
While I sympathize with
Mr. Patersons discomfort
in painting stereotypes
about the IFC community,
I challenge him to reconsider his implication that
all LGBTQ students are
ineligible, uncapable or
undeserving of membership within the IFC merely
due to their sexual or gender identity. Furthermore,
I see his statement that
you cannot force an environment of inclusion and
mutual tolerance as merely
a disguise for bigotry and
an excuse for maintaining
the status quo of institutionalized LGBTQ discrimination.
I hope that IFC fraternities would consider
adopting a non-discrimination ordinance that
would allow interested
LGBTQ students to pledge
those organizations.
Perhaps the best way to
foster an LGBTQ-friendly
environment in Greek life
at UNC is through mutual
understanding of the lived
experiences of LGBTQ
students.
