UNC to examine salaries of minority and female faculty

Will look for disparities and outliers in sta≠ pay
by Robert Langdon
staff writer
Following up on a study conducted in 2002
under former Executive Vice Chancellor and
Provost Robert Shelton, the University will
examine potential salary disparities among
women and minority faculty members at
UNC.
The study will examine and look for any dif-
ferences or outliers in the salary of minority and

Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Bruce
Carney throughout the process.
Its first meeting is tentatively scheduled for
next month.
“It seems like it’s time to do it again to make
sure we are still on track, and problems that
were revealed in the first review have not come
back,” said McNeil, who added that the com-
mittee hopes to conclude its review by the end
of the academic year.
In the original study, it was revealed that
female faculty members outside the School of
Medicine were paid, on average, $1,332 less
their white counterparts.
Department chairs were asked to explain and
address any noticeable differences within their
department in hopes of creating equitable sala-
ries for professors with similar experience and
position regardless of race or gender.
“There were clear differences in some pro-
grams,” Carney said. “We’re redoing the study to
see where we are and how we are doing now.”

JUMP AROUND
‘Jump rope guy’ carries
on his family heritage
by Olivia Barrow
staff writer
On nice afternoons, Brandon Pendergraft
pulls his heavy-duty speakers out into the
front yard of his home on Caldwell Street
and turns up the volume of his rap music.
Neighbors know there’s no party going
on. He’s just skipping rope on the street
filled with his family’s heritage.
“With jump rope, I get to blast my music
as loud as I want,” he said. “Basically the
neighbors know me, so they can tell me just
to turn it down.”
A 2007 graduate of UNC, Pendergraft
is the great-grandson of Bruce Caldwell—a
doctor and the man for whom the street is
named.
At one point the Caldwells owned most
of the property between Caldwell, North
Columbia and Stinson streets, and the fam-
ily has deep ties to the University.
Joseph Caldwell became the first presi-
dent of the University in 1804.
His black slave, November Caldwell, is
the patriarch of a long line of descendants
who withstood more than 200 years of
changing racial tensions in Chapel Hill.
Living on a street that he can call his own
has given Pendergraft a love for the neigh-
borhood, and an easy relationship with his
neighbors.
“It feels real good to be literally in your
own neighborhood or your own street,” he
said. “It’s like your heritage lives on.”
Pendergraft exercises in the street as
often as he gets a chance—usually three or
four times a week—in order to stay in shape.
Many of his family members have died of
or are fighting cancer, including his mother
and sister.
“I want to make sure that if something
happens to me, it will be because of some-
thing I’ve done,” Pendergraft said. “That’s
why I stay in shape.”
When he’s in the groove, he jumps for
as long as four hours. He could run or lift
weights, but he said he’d rather not deal
with losing weight from running or bulk-
ing up from lifting.
Pendergraft’s neighbors are used to him,
and many on the street recognize him as the
“jump rope guy.” Occasionally new neigh-
bors complain about the noise.
“Everybody knows who I am,” he said. “I
try to stay courteous.”
Pendergraft lives in a house owned by his Stanford University for law school in fall
father. Another close relative, Ed Caldwell, 2011, Pendergraft takes care of his father,
owns and rents several properties along the
street.

To help those in need combat
dropping temperatures, one coun-
ty organization is working to keep
area shelters warm during the win-
ter weather.
Blanket Orange County, a non-
profit organization, kicked off
its seventh annual blanket drive
Monday and hopes to collect 400
new and used blankets for local
shelters — more than the group
has ever collected before.
Six drop-off locations will be col-
lecting donated blankets until Dec.
3, but monetary donations will also
be accepted.
“It’s getting mighty cold,” said
Jan Bolick, director of the organi-
zation. “I’m hoping that this week
we get 150, and if we are nowhere
near 150, then I know that we need
to step things up.”
This year, the Inter-Faith Council
for Social Service, Neighbor House
of Hillsborough and Maggie Alvis
Halfway House will distribute the
collected blankets throughout the
community.
Chris Moran, executive director
of IFC, said donating blankets is a
very specific thing people can do to
help those in need.
“We need every helping hand
in order to do our job effectively,”
Moran said.
The council has been involved
in six of the seven blanket drives
and requested 300 blankets last
year.
Despite the initial shock of the
high request, Bolick said the group
collected 366 blankets.
The leftover blankets were
given to the Chapel Hill Ronald
McDonald House and people living
in outdoor camps, while blankets
in poor condition were donated to
the animal shelter.

Classical music gets an electric makeover
by Carson Blackwelder
staff writer
As a music student in Germany
during the 1980s, composer Detlef
Heusinger sometimes felt out of
place.
His desire to fuse minimalist
music with post-modern ideas didn’t
always suit his surroundings.
“You can imagine that this was
not accepted in 1980’s Germany,”
Heusinger said. “I was 22 and just
wanted to rebel against what was
expected.”
But as a part of the UNC music
department’s Talking Music Series
— which began Monday and con-
tinues until Wednesday night in
Hill Hall — Heusinger’s once-
rebellious ideas were celebrated.
The series, a three-day electron-
ic music festival, reinvents classical
music in an electronic format.
Featuring composers, performers
and recent graduates, the festival —
organized by UNC composition pro-
fessor and pianist Stefan Litwin —
assembles a variety of musicians and
music types in an open exploration
of modern composition.
Heusinger directed a discussion
with the artists before the perfor-
mance Monday evening.
A small gathering of students
and community members were
free to watch the artists analyze the
common threads in the works to be
performed that evening.
“Monday evening is very special
because it has music for pianos and
electronics,” said Alex Van Gils, a
composer and a bass player with
the UNC Symphony Orchestra.
Van Gils, a recent graduate from
the UNC music department, was
present at Monday’s events.
Monday’s discussion revealed
some of the themes that festival
organizers say will hold throughout
the three evenings.
Two of the pieces performed
were composed by Karlheinz
Stockhausen, an influential com-
poser of electronic music.
The other piece was composed
by Heusinger, the director of a
German experimentalist studio.
The music centers around two
back-to-back pianos, topped with
antique cymbals to add a different
sound to the pieces.
Wooden blocks added a solid
rhythm to the songs.
“This piece was constructed for
two pianos, as well as electronics to
accompany them,” sound projector
Michael Acker said.
“They add to the sinus pitch of
the pianos and add to the original
piano sound, and my job is to find
the right balance between the two.”
All musicians on stage agreed
that while technological advance-
ment has changed the composition
process, this change does not detract
from the meaning of the piece.
Litwin said the piece “Gesang
der Jünglinge” took composer
Stockhausen more than a year to
create.
“It would probably take two

minutes today,” Litwin said.
Later evenings in the festival series
will feature the duo pianists Adreas
Grau and Goetz Schumacher play-
ing the music of various composers.
Litwin will perform Tuesday with
vocalist Janice Misurell-Mitchell.
And though Monday’s perfor-
mance was unique in its spatial
setup and music choices — eight
speakers surrounded the auditorium
seating in Hill Hall to give listeners
a 360-degree experience — Tuesday
and Wednesday promise to be just
as interesting, participants said.
“We are hoping a lot of people
will join us,” Van Gils said.

Says failure can Know more on Facebook announces it will integrate

lead to success
by Katyayani Jhaveri
staff writer
The University kicked off
its participation in Global
Entrepreneurship Week Monday
with a lecture on how failure can
be acceptable.
“From defeat to defeat to final
victory,” said Buck Goldstein, quot-
ing former Chinese revolutionary
Mao Zedong.
Goldstein, an economics pro-
fessor, co-wrote “Engines of
Innovation” with Chancellor
Holden Thorp.
The lecture, which took place on
an impromptu stage in the Student
Union, also focused on entrepre-
neurship and how it serves as an
intersection between innovators
and executors.
Goldstein repeatedly said he
wants students to realize that fail-
ure is okay, as long as it teaches a
lesson.
“Entrepreneurship is not for
everybody,” he said. “If you want
a guarantee that you will not fail,
there are other things to try.”
Throughout the week, events
sponsored by Innovate@Carolina,
the Campus Y and other UNC
organizations will be held to get
students thinking about entrepre-
neurship and its implications for
the University.
“There are obviously problems,
and we are trying to channel our
large knowledge base to better the
University and the world,” said
Mackenzie Thomas, a sophomore
economics major and entrepre-
neurship minor who said she had

Chris Blue is named Chapel Hill’s new police chief by Town Manager
Roger Stancil on Monday. Blue will officially take office on Dec. 1.

Commissioners to
discuss war funding
by Ian Ager
staff writer
A resolution regarding oppo-
sition to war funding is back
on the Orange County Board of
Commissioners’ agenda tonight
after being tabled in October.
Chapel Hill resident Mark
Marcoplos first proposed the
resolution, entitled “Resolution
To End the Expenditure of the
Public’s Tax Dollars by the U.S.
Congress for Excessive and
Unaffordable Warfare Funding,”
to commissioners at a Sept. 21
meeting through a public peti-
dth/lauren vied tion.
The item was added to commis-
sioners’ Oct. 19 agenda, although

“I’m ready to get to work and “This is a very local issue,”

Commissioner Barry Jacobs
said local governments passing
resolutions on national policy is a
practice that should be used spar-
ingly.
“You need to be sure that this is
where you want to put your chips,”
he said. “As a local government, I’m
not sure we have a lot of national
policy chips to bet.”
But Marcoplos said local gov-
ernments have an obligation to
speak out on behalf of their citi-
zens on how their tax money is
being spent.
“We’ve noticed that over the
years, you can sign petitions, you
can turn up on the national mall
with thousands of people, and leg-
islators ignore it,” he said.
“But if local governments were
to speak up with this loss of fund-
ing, I think it could be very power-
ful.”
Commissioners will also receive
the annual financial report, which
documents how the county is man-
aging its finances.

financial services director, said

The plan fits with UNC-system
goals to make higher education more
accessible. And the program can be
expected to bring in money for the
school at a time when state funding
is dwindling due to budget cuts.
Still, the gamble with the Kenan-
Flagler name has left many students
wary of the impact it will have on the
future value of their degree.
“The one answer we can’t get is
what defines success for this pro-
gram?” said Brad Hudson, a sec-
ond-year MBA student. “Financial
gain? Rankings? How do you judge
the success of the program?”
Designing an online MBA
Like the executive MBA pro-
grams that run on weekends and
in the evenings, MBA@UNC is
targeted at professionals looking
to advance their careers. The full-
time MBA is geared toward those
looking to change careers.
MBA@UNC’s curriculum isn’t
developed yet, but will be modeled
after the full-time MBA program,

be added as the program expands.
Students in the first class, begin-
ning in July, will go through the
same admissions process, will take
class with the same Kenan-Flagler
professors and will pay what stu-
dents in the weekend MBA pro-
gram pay — $89,000.
Coursework will include indepen-
dent readings as well as live video
conferences with professors and
classmates. 2tor will advise on online
instructional methods, but UNC fac-
ulty will create each course.
Whereas a full-time student
might be assigned a case-study to
read at home and then discuss in
class, those in the online program
might watch actors re-enact the
scenario and then discuss via video
chats, Cates said.
And each quarter, students will
gather in-person for three-day
workshops and instruction.
A unique partnership

education market in 2009 with
the launch of a Master of Arts in
Teaching program through the
University of Southern California.

In the immersion program, students will be

achieve the proficiency and confidence to

Spanish in the community—and have fun
while doing so!
Another advantage: Students can complete

Duke seeks alternative to fallen tradition

by Lindsey Rietkerk
staff writer
Despite expected protests follow-
ing Duke University’s decision to
cancel its popular tailgate celebra-
tion, the campus remained calm for
this past weekend’s football game
as most students simply moved the
party off campus.
University administrators said
the partying was kept to a mini-
mum and was contained to Greek
houses, residence halls and bars
located near the campus.
But this is not what university
leaders expected.
A Facebook group titled “Main
Quad Throwdown,” was formed
after the university canceled its tra-
ditional pre-game events.
Administrators were worried the
event might jeopardize the safety
of students after an unconscious
minor was found in a portable toi-
let before Duke’s Nov. 6 game.
The minor, a sibling of a student
and guest at the event, was later
released from Duke Emergency
Services in fair condition.
Administrators decided to end
all tailgating events after the inci-
dent.
Mike Lefevre, student body pres-
ident at Duke, said administrators
convinced the student who created
the Facebook event to cancel. The
group had about 1,000 confirmed
guests.
“I was fearing a rebellion,”
Lefevre said. “There was an imme-
diate crowd swing against the can-
cellation (of tailgate), but Duke
students are rule followers, that’s
how we got here in the first place.”
Chris Heltne, a Duke spokesman,
said students were upset with the
school’s decision, but did not express
irritation before Duke’s game against
Boston College on Saturday.
“ There were ideas floating
around earlier in the week — non-
sanctioned events — but ultimately
students decided not to do them,”
Heltne said.
Lefevre said Shooters II, a local
bar in Durham, was an alternative
to tailgating for many students. “We want to develop something

Student government to
film videos for web, TV
by sophia zhang
staff writer
Members of student government
are taking to web videos and televi-
sion to talk about campus issues.
Student government is work-
ing with Carolina Week, Student
Television and the new Carolina
Broadcast Team to deliver videos.
Bi-weekly inter views with
Student Body President Hogan
Medlin, to be shown on YouTube
through the UNCExecBranch
channel, will include hard news,
said Beth Lawrence, director of the
Carolina Broadcast Team.
The team, in conjunction with
Carolina Week, posted the first of
the Campus Update videos Nov. 9.
“We chose to partner with
Carolina Week because they have
long-standing experience in high-
quality video production,” said
Student Body Secretary Ian Lee.
Medlin said the second video,
shot on Monday, will cover topics
Gay marriage ban more likely
by Dorothy Irwin
staff writer
An amendment to the state con-
stitution to ban gay marriage might
have more favorable chances of
being passed next year.
Many Republicans, including
N.C. Sen. Blake Harris, R-Harnett,
have said they think a bill to ban
gay marriage will be passed if it’s
brought before the Senate because
Republicans now have a majority
in the N.C. General Assembly.
Many North Carolinians are
already fighting against the poten-
tial ban.
Equality North Carolina, an
advocacy group for lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender rights, is
using e-mails, phone calls and an
annual conference to encourage
supporters in the state to talk with
legislators about the bill’s potential
negative impact.
“The community is really con-
cerned about what the new politi-
cal environment means for all the
issues we’re working on,” said Ian
Palmquist, executive director of
Equality North Carolina.
North Carolina is one of the
only states in the Southeast that
including the admissions ambas-
sadors abroad program and Top of
Lenoir renovations.
He said he hopes students are
watching the videos.
“Every year people ask what stu-
dent government is doing,” he said.
“This is an outreach to let you know
what is going on and how you can
be more involved. We don’t want to
just focus on the issues, but the good
things that are happening too.”
Lee said he created the broad-
cast team at the beginning of the
semester as part of Medlin’s cam-
paign pledge to make student gov-
ernment more transparent.
Lawrence said the broadcast
team is also collaborating with
UNC Student Television to pro-
duce monthly videos about student
government that take on a more
creative approach.
“We will probably do skits and
other fun stuff,” she said. The
Carolina Broadcast Team launched
does not already have a ban on gay
marriage.
“North Carolinians really want
all people to be treated fairly and
equally and don’t really like the
idea of putting discrimination in
our state constitution,” he said.
Palmquist said the group is
working to remind recently elect-
ed legislators to stick to their cam-
paign promises to restore jobs and
the economy instead of proposing
legislation against gay marriage.
“There is a very good chance we
will see right-wing legislators bring
this bill up, and we’re going to have
to work really hard to try and stop
it,” Palmquist said.
N.C. Sen. Ellie Kinnaird,
D-Orange, said she is concerned
some Democratic legislators might
also vote in favor of the bill because
their constituents believe in it.
The bill has been introduced
many times but hasn’t gotten
far because Democrats had held
the majority in the N.C. General
Assembly for almost 112 years.
This time, however, Kinnaird said
she is worried the bill will pass.
“This is going absolutely in the
wrong direction,” she said. “I just

States-er
abroad
A
s soon as I said the word
I knew I had made a mis-
take. I watched uneasily as
formerly friendly faces morphed
into more hardened countenanc-
es. As I frenetically struggled to
explain myself, I silently cursed
myself for being so careless.
Because really, I knew better.
Everyone who has ever taken a
Spanish class knows better. It is
such a convenient little cognate,
though, so much more fitting and
easier to say than the alternative,
just a little –o at the end…
But alas, caution came sec-
onds too late. “Soy (I am an)
Americano” it was.
Now obviously, that is not a
crude word, or even an inappro-
priate one, and is almost certain-
ly the best ethnonym for a person
from the United States. And yet,
to most Latin Americans, to use
it to describe only citizens of the
United States is an insult. But if
not Americano, what could I call
myself?
Argentines have a few names
for people from the affectionately
named “country to the north,” but
none of them quite fit. Many have
tried calling me “yanqui”, but I very
quickly and clearly explained that I
was by no means a Yankee and did
not want to be confused with one.
“Norteamericano” works in prin-
ciple, but who wants to be lumped
in with Canadians? Gringo is tech-
nically an option, but I feel uneasy
about referring to myself using a
racial slur, so that one is out.
So what am I to do? Why is
it that I have to resort to the
unwieldy and decidedly ridiculous
equivalent of United States-er —
“estadounidense” — to describe
myself without getting a glare,
when everyone else in the world,
in every other language, refers to
us quite simply as Americans? Is
it my fault that the U.S. was the
only country in the Americas that
could not come up with a unique
name other than that of the con-
tinent? Can I be punished in this
way for the continent-sized ambi-
tions of the Founding Fathers?
That ambition, though, is of
course the main source of the
controversy. From the first throes
of independence our southern
neighbors have cast an uneasy
eye on their ‘Big Brother’ (our
words) carrying the ‘Big Stick’
(our words). Combine that rheto-
ric with a proven history of the
bellicose pursuit of Manifest
Destiny and it really is no sur-
prise that people get a little bit
sensitive when you appropriate
the name of the continent for the
name of your country of origin.
Is there a bit of an inferior-
ity complex at play? You betcha.
When you look back on two cen-
turies of violent governments and
generally disappointing econo-
mies and then look north to see
nearly the opposite, rubbing the
semantic salt on the wound is
bound to be frowned upon.
So despite my patriotic phono-
logical proclivities, I asked myself
the question: Am I really going
to fight for my right to call myself
an American? The correct answer
was clearly “No,” and so for the
sake of international friendship I
have abandoned my hegemonic
linguistic claims and turned the
lexical cheek. I mean, with all the
other economic and political cards
in my hand, it is the least I can do.
“Disculpame, soy esta-
dounidense.” That’s right, a
United States-er. So while I have
reluctantly lain aside my right to
self-identify, darn it if I’m not still
proud to be an Americano. And
I am definitely talking about the
country, not the continent.

Tough choice for tuition
Di≠erent percentage increases in tuition for residents
and nonresidents are the best tuition options
I
n a year of financial strain,
any of Wednesday’s pro-
posed tuition increases
would be painful.
But the proposal which
includes raising the resident
tuition by 6.5 percent and the
nonresident tuition by 5.6 per-
cent is the fairest option.
UNC-sys tem president
Erskine Bowles has said that
universities in the system should
prepare to cut their budgets by
at least 10 percent, so the deficit
needs to be made up somehow.
The 6.5 percent tuition
increase is the highest allowed
by the UNC-system, and each
proposal suggests raising the
tuition by at least 5.6 percent.

ting ready to ban alcoholic
energy drinks like Four Loko.
Gov. Perdue issued a press
release last week asking man-
ufacturers to voluntarily stop
selling malt liquor beverages
containing stimulants “until
they are found to be safe.”
If the state does decide to ban
Four Loko it probably won’t
make a difference.
It only took a couple of high
profile news stories for Four
Loko to become the symbol for
every alcohol-related problem

in revenue from tuition, UNC
would have to make even more
drastic cuts in faculty and pro-
grams. If there was ever a time
to take the plunge in raising
tuition costs, it would be now.
The proposal with differ-
ing rates represents a happy
medium between the other two
proposals on the table.
Instead of raising resident
and nonresident tuition by the
same percentage, the differ-
ence in percentages would help
manage the large gap between
tuition rates for residents and
nonresidents, while still ensur-
ing that nonresidents bear a
higher increase.
The proposal with differing
rates may not be politically fea-
encounter.
It should come as a shock
to no one that college students
have been drinking irresponsi-
bly for a lot longer than Four
Loko has been available at the
gas station.
Nine out of nine editorial
board members agree that a
Four Loko ban would not make
it prohibitively more difficult to
mix alcohol and caffeine.
It’s up to consumers to reg-
ulate their own alcohol intake.
In the words of Andy Dobson,
beer manager of TJ’s Beverage
and Tobacco: “If you’re too stu-

four 12 percent beers in 20

And tonight is a perfect — if
rare — chance for students to
engage in dialogue with their
peers who are empowered to
govern on their behalf.
We talk a lot about the lack
of enthusiasm and dedication

sible. UNC is a public univer-
sity. With this in mind, tuition
for residents must be kept as
cheap as possible, which is why
a higher percentage increase for
resident tuition is questionable.
But the disparity between
resident and nonresident tuition
costs must be managed. Equal
percentage increases ignores
this concern and saddles out-of-
state students with a dispropor-
tionately growing burden.
Each proposal has its own
advantages and risks.
In reality, no student wants
to pay more for tuition. But if
UNC wants to avoid compro-
mising its quality of education,
then the raise in tuition must
be endured by all students.
If anything, talk of a ban will
only make Four Loko sexier.
The proportion of empty Four
Loko cans in campus recycling
bins seems to be directly cor-
related to the number of men-
tions in the news.
Furthermore, we can all agree
that the governor has some big-
ger problems to deal with. She
should focus on the multi-billion
dollar state budget deficit, N.C.’s
above average unemployment
rate and the federal investiga-
tion into her own campaign
finance practices.

leave the Loko alone. A ban
wouldn’t really make a differ-
ence and you definitely have
bigger fish to fry.

And if you ever plan on run-

government, Congress mem-
bers are a great resource. Not
only have they all participated
in the elections process them-
selves; but they write the elec-
tion rules too.
Significant issues going for-
ward include student fees and
graduate member participa-
tion — or lack thereof.
That Congress is trying to
hold forum’s speaks to the right
priorities for hearing from its
constituents. But students have
to care if it is to be effective.

Volunteer for Build a Block
and help poor families
TO THE EDITOR:
When Habitat for Humanity
of Orange County opened up
their new neighborhood in
Chapel Hill — Phoenix Place
— 14 out of the first 18 families
approved for houses were those
of UNC employees. These fami-
lies are currently living in sub-
standard housing in Chapel Hill
and bring to the forefront the
issue of poverty housing that is
much too close to home.
That is why UNC Build a
Block — a student-led initiative
to build 10 of these houses for
10 of the UNC employee fami-
lies within the school year — is
so important to our community
and to our University.
To make this project possible,
we need to raise $350,000 and
recruit enough volunteer labor to
build these houses so that we can
directly affect the progress and
future of UNC.
You can help right now by
buying Carolina Fever’s Old
Well Watch T-shirt this week in

Focus on individuals, not
race: eliminate UNC DMA
TO THE EDITOR:
I want to compliment all the
gifted Daily Tar Heel writers, but
particularly Sam Perkins, who
wrote “Testing diversity by nix-
ing race” on Nov. 11.
I would go a step further and
nix the Office of Diversity and
Multicultural Affairs (DMA)
which, in this day and age, has
become obsolete and a waste of
money.
Before you rush to call me a
racist, let me say that as a natu-
ralized American citizen from
Austria, I firmly believe that all
children/students of illegal aliens
have the same rights as I do. I am
no better than they are, and they
deserve citizenship ASAP. Shame
on the politicians who don’t sup-
port common sense.
This is a nation built from indi-
viduals, not collectivist groups who
use “multicultural” and “diversity”
as a political movement to further
their collectivist agenda. The
two words mentioned are simply
accurate descriptions of America.
I have no party affiliation and
have no political agenda, but these
terms have done more to divide
than to unify America.
Applaud the individual in our
multicultural society, and for that
we do not need a department to
monitor our progress.
The human being is the small-
est minority on earth.

The Daily Tar Heel
for your help during the month of
October to “Turn the Town Pink”
to support UNC’s Comprehensive
Cancer Support Program.
This community’s generosity
helps us make a difference for
someone who is at a time in his
life when he needs all of the help
he can get to fight cancer.
We don’t have final totals, but
our community is on track to raise
more than $30,000 by decorating
businesses and websites in pink,
creating in-store campaigns, sell-
ing specialty items, or donating
food, drink and auction items
in support of UNC Lineberger’s
Tickled Pink at Twilight event.
From six-year-old Maddie
Moore to residents at Galloway
Ridge, running stores to res-
taurants, real estate offices and
radio stations — this community
stepped up to help those who
need it most.
Patients and families can tell
you that our programs are a
source of valuable information,
understanding, help and essen-
tial therapies for those facing a
battle with cancer. Many of these
services are offered to patients
free of charge, relieving anxiety
at an already stressful time.
Thank you to all of our Chapel
Hill and Carrboro community
members and partners who
Turned the Town Pink to make
a difference.

The excitement of Dance
Marathon is helping others
TO THE EDITOR:
You may have noticed more
than 300 UNC Dance Marathon
committee members shouting
encouragement to sign up to
dance last week.
That’s because we, along with
the patients and families who
we meet, have been integrally
affected by this organization and
its cause.
The UNC Dance Marathon
is about hundreds of students
coming together to demonstrate
emotional and financial support
for people they may never meet.
If the Pit was overwhelming
to you, don’t let it be the reason
you miss out on this amazing
experience.
Instead, visit our website
(www.uncmarathon.org) to
learn what it means to be a part
of UNC Dance Marathon and
about our initiatives at N.C.
Children’s Hospital.
Check out our YouTube chan-
nel, where you can see for your-
self what the marathon is and
learn how our campus and com-
munity is behind the cause.
The marathon will take place
Feb. 18 to 19, 2011. For 12 years,
students have worked to improve
the quality of life for patients and
families at the hospital, raising
more than $2.4 million.
Learn what we mean when we
say “For the Kids”: Take a stand
this year for something bigger
than yourself.
You might find that after this
most rewarding 24-hour experi-
ence, you’ll be standing in the Pit
with us next year spreading the
word about what we can accom-
plish when working together.
