And for the summer of 2011,
UNC has turned once again to
a non-fictional account of a life-
changing journey.
This summer, incoming stu-
dents will be asked to read and dis-
cuss “Eating Animals” by Jonathan
Safran Foer, a book that goes
beyond Foer’s decision to become
vegetarian by exploring the rela-
tionship between man and food.

with Duke University for the first
time this year.
April Mann, director of New
Student and Carolina Parent
Programs, said the mutual selection
campuses easily and ultimately
serve students better than before.
Both campus selection commit-
tees received nominations, compiled
a shortened list and came together
to compare them, Mann said.
Donna Lisker, Duke’s associate
dean of undergraduate education
said the committee consulted faculty
and students at both universities.
“The schools do work together
all the time on everything except
athletics,” Lisker said.
Ryan Collins, president of the
Residence Hall Association and a
student on the committee, said the
University was partial to non-fic-
tion while Duke tended to choose
literature.
“One of the most interesting
things was how different UNC
and Duke’s philosophies were on
the summer reading program,”
Collins said.
Todd Adams, associate dean of
students at Duke, said the universi-
ties also ran their discussion groups
differently. At UNC, a faculty or
staff member leads the discussion,
while discussions at Duke are facili-
tated by current students.
But Adams said “Eating
Animals” was a choice that suited
both campuses’ needs.
Jan Yopp, the UNC dean of
summer school and chairwoman
of UNC’s selection committee, said
the book will spark discussion.
“I think any student reading

their lives,” Yopp said.
Collins said he thinks students
will relate to the book’s subject mat-
ter because it focuses on food.
“It’s so different from any book
we’ve chosen in recent years,” he
said.
Mann said it is too soon to tell
whether the schools will collabo-
rate again, but she thought the first
joint initiative was a success.
“We are excited about the selec-
tion of this particular title,” she said.

merger rejected Carolina handle
by Chelsey Dulaney
staff writer
After rejecting a merger with
the mental health management
system in Alamance and Caswell
counties, Orange County’s provid-
er is searching for other partners.
Ju d y Tr u i tt , a r e a d i r e c -
tor of the OPC Area Program
that serves Orange, Person and
Chatham Counties, said the
program withdrew from nego-

Local Management Entity in
December.
“The board felt that our goals
were not in sync and that we were
working for different outcomes,”
Truitt said. “At this point we are in
several discussions, we are mov-
ing forward.”
But the program, which man-
ages publicly-funded mental
health, developmental disability
and substance abuse services is
still looking for another mental
health program to merge with.
A merger would consoli-
date services and save the state
money.

putting pressure on these smaller
entities to merge to reduce the

“The state is interested in con-

be cost saving,” Truitt said.

economy as an arts nonprofit,”
Regan said.
And while the youth perform-

at large could see an entirely new
operating structure following an
internal debate to take place in the
next three months.
“We’re going to throw all the
ideas out there as a board and fig-

“We realized that the positions
need to be more discrete and not
all lumped together,” Regan said.
Regan stressed that the changes
do not mean that the center is clos-

Camp launched a membership
drive in December, and the cen-
ter is on track to achieve its goal
of 1,000 due-paying members by

“We hope to come through this
stronger than before,” she said.
“We’re carrying on.”

speaker
De La Rosa to

By Brooke Hefner
Staff Writer
Alex Mills will be the first grad-

serve in the position of speaker of
Student Congress.
Mills, who previously served as
speaker pro tempore, will replace
Deanna Santoro, who stepped down
to pursue a case against the Board
of Elections earlier this month.
Mills was nominated by mem-
bers Adam

of Student Although
Congress
the term only
lasts one more
month, the role of speaker will still
be prominent in the coming weeks
as Congress gives its input on the
annual budget talks.
“My priority is the annual bud-
get bill,” Mills said. “Let’s be honest,
we have one month left. Let’s get it
done and get it done right.”
The contest to fill Mills’ former
position as speaker pro tempore
proved to be the more hotly con-
tested.
Horowitz and De La Rosa were
both nominated for the role, which
is the second-highest position in
the body and is seen as a stepping
stone to the speaker position.
De La Rosa was elected to the
position by a vote of 21-5.
De La Rosa said he decided to
run for speaker pro tempore rath-
er than speaker because Mills was
already serving in the role on an
interim basis.
“I decided to because Mills is
the presiding officer of Student
Congress and is doing an excellent
job,” De La Rosa said. “Next year
will be a different term.”
In their explanations for run-
ning, De La Rosa and Horowitz
both pledged to work through the
annual budget discussion and to
focus on the recently debated Title
VI election law.
“We need the budget process to
go smoothly,” Horowitz said. “I’d

Students protest Chick-fil-A
by viviana bonilla lopez
staff writer
College students nationwide are
accusing Chick-fil-A of promot-
ing homophobia along with their
chicken sandwiches.
But UNC students haven’t fully
taken up the cause.
Students at nine universities are
demanding the fast food chain be
banned from campus due to what
they consider to be company sup-
port of anti-gay organizations.
“Chick-fil-A preaches hate, it funds
hate and it actively works against the
equal rights for the LGBTQ commu-
nity,” said Tyler Offerman, student
leader of the petition at Florida Gulf
Coast University.
Students at Offerman’s uni-
versity sponsored the first online
petition at Change.org —a website
that allows anyone to start a peti-
tion for social justice issues — in
January.
The petitions started in response
to student governments’ efforts to
put the franchise in their recently
renovated student union.
As of 10:45 p.m. Tuesday, 19,564
people from all over the U.S. and
abroad have signed Florida Gulf
Coast University’s petition.
Their goal is 25,000 signatures.
UNC’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,
Transgender and Queer Center is
taking a neutral stance.
“They are a private business,”
said Terri Phoenix, the center’s
director. “People have the ability to
support a private business or not.”
Chick-fil-A is being criticized for
supporting organizations like Ruth
Institute, which promotes the idea of
“one man, one woman for life.”

of retreats to these organizations is
the main reason for the petitions,
said Michael Jones, an editor of
Change.org.
“We are a platform for these
students to raise awareness about
Chick-fil-A’s anti-gay ties on cam-
pus,” Jones said.
But at UNC some students are
reluctant to start a petition.
“Food and beliefs are completely
separate,” said UNC sophomore
Rayna Singh.
Some students said they will
boycott Chick-fil-A, but not sign a
petition.
“I haven’t eaten it since I found
out about that,” freshman Stephen
Mooneyhan said. “I don’t think I
really would justify taking it away
from other people.”
Campus food service adminis-
trators said removing Chick-fil-A
from campus dining would have
economic consequences.
“Since we have three Chick-fil-
A’s on campus it would cost from
$1 million and a half to $2 mil-
lion,” said Mike Freeman, director

UNC regular-season game National and World News N&W

At least 65 dead in New Zealand

will be first on Chinese TV
Broadcast aimed at global publicity
Lydia Rusche
Staff writer
As March Madness lurks around
the corner, tonight’s broadcast of the
UNC-N.C. State basketball game to
Shanghai might help spread the
madness worldwide.
And it could help the University’s
global publicity, as well.
The 9 p.m. game will be broad-
cast live at 10 a.m. to the Chinese
city of 16 million Thursday morning
due to the 13-hour time difference.
Raycom Sports will be broad-
casting the game in the United
States, and from there, Greatsports
Media in Shanghai will broadcast
Raycom’s video feed and use local
announcers to do the play-by-play
in Mandarin.
The broadcast will be the first
NCAA regular-season game ever
televised in China, according to a
press release by the UNC athletic
department. Final Four games
have been broadcast on television
in the past.
“We’re one of the first collegiate
basketball teams that has been
televised live back to China, and
we’re proud to be part of that,” said
Larry Gallo, senior associate direc-
tor of the athletics department.
With budget cuts looming, this
broadcast will cost the University
nothing but could help it receive
international attention that
could prove priceless, said Tom
Martineau, a research associate
for UNC Global.
“I think if there’s more aware-
ness about UNC with basketball, it
will affect the rest of the University,
as well,” Martineau said.
Three Duke students provided a
Mandarin play-by-play audio feed
of a Jan. 15 Duke-UVa. game that
was made available on the Duke
Athletics website.
Greg Jones, vice president and
vice provost of global strategy and
programs at Duke, said he received
e-mails from Chinese residents
who listened to the game.
“It was a wonderful experiment,”
Jones said.
Duke does not plan on broad-
casting any more games for the
remainder of the season, Jones said,
but administrators hope to continue
the broadcast in the future.
Martineau said UNC admin-
istrators hope to increase the
University’s reputation in China,
“We’re one of the
first collegiate bas-
ketball teams that
has been televised
live back to China.”

as well, not through radio, but
through broadcast television.
“I admire what Duke is doing,
but the real way to reach an audi-
ence is through broadcast TV,” he
said.
Martineau, who lived in China
for several years, said there is a
huge fan base for professional bas-
ketball, and he hopes by introduc-
ing China to college basketball, a
similar fan base will develop.
“Hopefully if you get Chinese TV
stations, whether it’s regional or
national, to start regularly showing
UNC basketball or NCAA basket-
ball, it can build a real following,”
Martineau said.
“We hope Shanghai, as seen with
many other things in China, will be
trend setters.”

Many of those in the coach at the

The violent reaction to the

Entwisle makes her pitch for research job

Seeks to improve UNC’s reputation
By Caroline Corrigan
Staff Writer
Barbara Entwisle, one of three
finalists in the University’s search
for a vice chancellor for research,
said she wants to see students and
faculty propel the University to a
level of research prowess consistent
with its mission.
“We should be ‘the’ public uni-
versity,” she said.
“Unlike private institutions, we
have an explicit role to play to the
state that supports us.”
Entwisle, director of the Carolina
Population Center and interim vice
chancellor for research, presented
her vision for research during a
public forum Wednesday.
Entwisle said her goal is to see
the University be a leader in the
creation and application of knowl-
edge in order to serve citizens on a
state, national and global level.
She emphasized challenges that
are unique to the University.
“We can’t buy our faculty in the
same way a well-endowed private
university can,” she said.
“But that doesn’t mean we can’t
be great. It doesn’t mean that we
shouldn’t be great.”
She added that interdisciplin-
ary research and greater student
involvement are essential for
reaching that goal.
“Working across disciplines is
the way to solve the world’s prob-
lems,” she said. “It is a source of
innovation and a competitive
advantage.”
“(Students) inspire faculty,” she
added. “They also engage faculty,
they collaborate with faculty, they
attract faculty and they help retain
faculty.”
Karen Gil, dean of the College
of Arts and Sciences and chair-
woman of the vice chancellor for
research search committee, said
Entwisle exhibits the qualities
the committee is looking for in its
candidates.
“Barbara has breadth and depth
of experience in research adminis-
tration,” she said.
If selected, Entwisle would
become one of a handful of inter-
nal candidates to receive promo-
tions at UNC recently.
Jonathan Sauls was selected to
become dean of students earlier this
month after serving on an interim
basis since July 1.
Bruce Carney, executive vice
chancellor and provost, was select-
ed for his position in March 2010
after serving on an interim basis.
Winston Crisp, vice chancellor for
student affairs, was selected for his
current job after previously work-
ing as associate vice chancellor for
“We can’t buy
our faculty in the
same way a well-
endowed private
university can.”
Barbara Entwisle, on recruiting
student affairs.
Entwisle has worked at the
University for 29 years, having won
several awards, including the UNC
Distinguished Teaching Award for
Post-Baccalaureate Instruction in
2003.
Entwisle said the extent of her
experience is one of the main rea-
sons she wants to take up the posi-
tion.
“I have accomplished everything
I have set out to do,” she said. “I am
looking for new challenges.”
Jo Anne Earp, professor and
chairwoman of health behavior and
health education at the Gillings
School of Global Public Health,
said Entwisle’s speech at the public
forum helped affirm her place as a
strong contender.
“Her speech was very strong and
well thought-out,” Earp said. “She
has a leg up because she’s in a posi-
tion to know what’s needed.”

Freedom writers relate Private colleges licensed

to children, share trials UNC-system schools fear competition
by Haley Sklut
staff writer
Henry Jones used to go by a
much different name — Cyanide.
“Cyanide is a poison,” Jones said.
“That’s what my family was.”
Jones, one of the original stu-
dent writers made famous by the
book and movie “Freedom Writers,”
spoke Tuesday at the Sonja Haynes
Stone Center.
As a 10-year-old boy, Jones
said he wasn’t the only child in his
rough hometown to see drive-by
shootings, witness the shooting of
family members or question the
value of life altogether.
“I lived in a world where the value
of your life can be five bucks, it can
be just a simple misunderstanding
or it can be just because someone
doesn’t like your ass,” he said.
But Jones and Tony Becerra,
another one of the original
Freedom Writers, said they turned
their lives around after their high
school teacher, Erin Gruwell,
showed an interest in their lives.
Gruwell encouraged them to keep
diaries and work hard in school.
The writers said they came to
UNC to let impoverished elemen-
tary and middle school children
who are part of the Stimulating
Mental Awareness Related to Teens
Mentoring program know they are
also important. Their audience
included children from grades four
to eight, along with some of their
parents and teachers.
The event was co-hosted by
two UNC students in the SMART
mentoring program, juniors Lisa
Pelehach, executive program coor-
dinator, and Erin Sanderson, chief
operations coordinator.
“I hope for this to be an event
where the youth can hear stories
of positive role models and use it
for inspiration in their own lives,”
Pelehach said before the speech.
Tony Becerra, one of two original “The Freedom Writers Diary” stu-
dents, speaks in the Stone Center as part of a lecture hosted by SMART.
Jones said he knew what it was
like to come from an underprivileged
background, because he grew up
among “pimps and gang members.”
“I did what I knew,” Jones said.
“I did what I was taught.”
He saw violence on a daily basis
from a young age, and he lost all of
his possessions when gang mem-
bers burned his house down.
“When you get to the age of 12
and you’re just completely immune,
human life means absolutely noth-
ing,” Jones said.
He said he didn’t read as a child
because books couldn’t keep him
safe. In the real world, all he need-
ed to know was which gangs lived
where. All that separated him from
his brother, who has been in prison
since Jones was 15, was that Jones
had an opportunity.,
“All it takes is someone to see
something in you that is worth sal-
vaging,” he said.
Becerra, who was the first in his
dth/erin hull
family to graduate high school, said
he is proud of his publications and
fame. But he is more proud to be a
role model for his nephew, who will
graduate high school this year.
One of the students in the men-
toring program, Nyeisha Jackson,
said she learned a valuable lesson
from the event.
“Usually I just fight the person
back, but now I will tell the teach-
ers.”

Public universities across the
state are gearing up for competi-
tion from for-profit institutions.
The UNC-system Board of
Governors has been charged by the
N.C. General Assembly to license
non-public education institutions,
including for-profit schools.
The board recently approved
licensing three new facilities,
including Kaplan. Licensing allows
the institutions to build and mar-
ket in North Carolina.
“We are responsible for licens-
ing all out-of-state for-profits that
want a physical location in our
state and we’ve had this responsi-
bility for many years,” said Hannah
Gage, chairwoman of the board, in
an e-mail.
But the licensing of for-profits
has sparked concern among small-
er universities in the UNC system
about losing students to the new
learning centers.
Before the recent addition there
were 26 institutions licensed in the
state that operate a total of 60 sites
in the state, said Frank Prochaska,
associate vice president for aca-
demic affairs.
They offer 187 different degree
programs, including associate, bach-
elor and master degrees, he said.
“These licensed institutions do
offer many degree programs that
are very much the same as UNC
campuses,” Prochaska said. “There
is certainly competition that way.”
But the majority of the degree
programs are at the associate level,
which does not compete with UNC-
system schools.For-profit institu-
tions also cater to non-traditional
students, like working adults or
part-time students, he said.
“In general, there’s really more
of a competition between these for-
profit institutions and community
colleges,” Prochaska said.
But John Davis, a member of
the educational planning commit-
tee on the board, said UNC-system
schools are putting a strong empha-
sis on online education to compete
with the for-profit institutions.
And there is more competition
between for-profit institutions
and smaller UNC-system schools,
like Fayetteville State University,
Gage said. About eight for-profit
institutions already exist in the
Fayetteville area.
“Their military market attracts
a huge number of for-profits which
compete for many of the same
degrees FSU offers,” Gage said.
“FSU, in our opinion, has better
quality at a lower price, but the
schools like Kaplan have huge mar-
keting budgets, which we lack.”
James Anderson, chancellor of
FSU, said for-profits’ tendency to
locate in large cities and military
bases has taken students away
“The schools like
Kaplan have huge
marketing budgets,
which we lack.”
Hannah Gage, UNC-System board
of governors chairwoman, on licensing
private institutions.
from FSU in particular.
“It doesn’t affect all schools
equally,” he said.
And for-profits attract students
who are looking to take courses
online, a pathway FSU specializes
in, Anderson said.
He said he has asked the board
to increase his marketing budgets,
as the cuts have negatively affected
him more than other universities.
“I have less money for market-
ing but I have to compete against
for-profits,” he said. “The market-
ing cuts should not have been the
same for all schools.”
He said the board understands the
difficulties the licensing of for-profits
creates for universities like FSU.
“Under the current approval
process, we have no option but to
approve them if they meet the stan-
dards — even if there’s no real need
for the degree,” Gage said.

major, co-president of Campus Y and moderator of the program, host a panel on civil discourse on Tuesday.
Panel calls for civil
discourse in politics
Builds toward speech by Park51 imam “We’re connected
Josh Clinard
Staff writer
Working as chief of staff for U.S.
Rep. Alex McMillan, R-N.C., Frank
Hill remembered a constituent’s
phone call in which he heard curse
words he had never heard before.
It wasn’t a product of today’s
partisan discourse. That, he said,
was more than 15 years ago.
“I don’t know the period where
we were so good to each other,” he
said Tuesday in a panel discussion
on the state of civil discourse in the
United States.
Hill joined Ferrel Guillory, a
journalism professor, and Andrew
Perrin, a sociology professor, in
part one of a three-part panel
series entitled “Civil Discourse in
American Society.”
The discussion, led by Elizabeth
McCain, co-president of the
Campus Y, sought to explore the
current political climate, past
trends in bipartisanship and to
recommend ways to improve the
state of civil discourse. About 15
people attended.
The discussion of current prob-
lems pointed to the media as a
culprit, where political discourse
is rampant in what Guillory called
“yell television.”
Higher cigarette tax favored
Poll shows state approval of $1 hike “When consumption
by Matt Steyl
staff writer
A majority of North Carolinians
support raising the cigarette tax to
help offset the state budget deficit,
according to the results of a poll
released Monday.
The N.C. Alliance for Health
found 66 percent of 500 poll par-
ticipants approved increasing the
tax by $1 per pack to relieve some
of the deficit. The alliance is an
advocacy organization dedicated
to reducing tobacco use and bat-
tling obesity.
The poll’s participants are like-
ly voters in the election, said Peg
O’Connell, chairwoman of the alli-
ance’s tobacco prevention policy
committee.
She said North Carolina’s cur-
rent tax on cigarettes is 45 cents
per pack, the seventh lowest in the
nation. Raising the tax to $1.45
would make the state’s tax equiva-
lent to the national average.
However, doing this might have
negative consequences for one of
the state’s largest industries.
“When consumption decreases,
the tobacco companies will cut
back on contracts to farmers who
grow tobacco,” said Brian Long,
director of the public affairs divi-
sion of the N.C. Department of
Agriculture & Consumer Services.
Income for tobacco farmers
would decrease, as well as the rev-
enue collected from taxes on this
income, Long said.
Hill told the audience to turn off
the hate-spreading television that
is filled with out-of-context sound
bites and instead read a book on
historical political science.
Guillory said a renewal of pro-
fessional journalism needs to occur,
one that focuses on a renewal of
strong, independent opinions.
The United States has had
a long tradition of a boisterous
democracy of incivility, he added,
including the Civil War and presi-
dential assassinations.
“If you read about the forming
of the Constitution, those guys
that went to Philadelphia did not
agree with each other,” Hill said.
“Somehow, out of the magic of it,
they went to the bars together,
smoked together … and were able
to compromise.”
Hill said he recommends that all
people, whether politically active or
inactive, invite another person out
to a bar and have a social dialogue.
“It’s hard to agree with someone
if you hate them,” he said.
Guillory then pointed the finger
to individuals, emphasizing the
importance of compassion.
“Ideas matter,” he said. “Words
matter.
“But what really matters is how
UNC political science profes-
sor Tom Carsey said there is no
one solution to the budget deficit,
but raising taxes would be a start.
Carsey also said he was not sure
a cigarette tax would be the best
solution.
Last year, South Carolina
increased its cigarette tax from
seven cents to 57 cents.
North Carolina’s $1-per-pack
increase would provide about
$338.4 million in revenue to the
state in the first year, O’Connell
said. She said this revenue might
help prevent education cuts and
she hoped members of the univer-
sity community would participate
in advocating for the tax.
Long said the decrease in revenue
for tobacco companies would also
decrease the companies’ payments
to fund certain state programs.
A 1998 settlement between the
four largest tobacco companies in
the United States and the attorney
generals of 46 states required the
companies to fund the N.C. Health
and Wellness Trust Fund, the N.C.
Tobacco Trust Fund Commission
and other organizations that pro-
mote job growth within the state.
Gov. Bev Perdue did not include
a tax increase on cigarettes in
her recent budget proposal, and
O’Connell said the governor missed
the opportunity to earn almost
$400 million for the state.

DPS hears complaints
for transportation plan
Students, staff
voice opposition
By Ashlyn Still
Staff Writer
Concerned members of the
University community voiced
opposition to increased parking
fees ordered by the new five-year
plan Tuesday at a forum hosted by
the Department of Public Safety.
Students and faculty complained
primarily about two proposed
changes: a $9 hike in student fees
to cover nighttime parking costs
and the introduction of a $250 per-
mit for the Employee Commuter
Alternative Program.
The plan would also raise the
transportation fee from $73.50 to
$142, an increase of 93 percent,
during the next five years.
Explaining that the fees are
necessary to offset a $6.1 million
increase in transportation costs by
the 2015-16 fiscal year, DPS Chief
Jeff McCracken said the depart-
ment is primarily targeting those
who don’t already pay for parking
to shoulder some of the burden.
“The plan is really designed to

You may
need to
rethink
that DTR
O
h, the DTR, or “define-
the-relationship”: A
watershed moment for
many couples. Some take it on
immediately after starting to
date; some let it float nebulously
for months.
Are we casual or seri-
ous? Friends or more than
friends? Monogamous or not?
Establishing these rules is cru-
cial to assessing and reducing
one’s risk of STI transmission,
and according to a recent study,
we aren’t always on the same
page.
In the upcoming issue of the
Journal of Sex Research, Jocelyn
Warren and her colleagues at
Oregon State University looked
at interviews from 434 hetero-
sexual couples about monogamy.
That is, the agreement to not
get sexually involved with any-
one else besides the partner.
These couples each consisted of
a female 18-25 years old and a
male over 18.
Just over half of the couples
reported that they had discussed
and chosen to be monogamous.
But a third of the couples gave
different answers on whether
they had even discussed monog-
amy, and 40 percent of those
disagreed on whether they had
decided to be monogamous.
If a couple did decide to be
monogamous, did each member
of the couple keep that promise?
Fifty-five percent disagreed on
whether the male had kept it,
and 50 percent disagreed on
whether the female had.
Interestingly, the couples who
were married were not signifi-
cantly more likely to have made
an explicit monogamy agree-
ment, but couples with children
were less than half as likely to
have done so.
These findings confirm previ-
ous studies in 2004 and 2006
showing that many couples have
not discussed monogamy or, at
least, do not agree if they had.
What are some possible rea-
sons? Some couples might be
hesitant to bring up monogamy
as part of a larger communica-
tion about sex and sexual health;
others might be avoiding the dis-
cussion in order to avoid defining
the relationship on that front.
One person might be assuming
monogamy based on time or rela-
tionship status; another might
have interpreted a conversation
differently.
Not only can these discordant
assumptions damage trust and
create conflicts down the line,
they also can affect the couple’s
sexual health risks.
Prior research shows that
condom usage is more likely in
new or casual relationships, but
it tends to decline over time as a
relationship gets more serious.
This can be expected since con-
dom usage might be considered
a lack of trust or lack of love
between the partners.
However, if a couple is not
monogamous or not clear about
when they stop using condoms,
either of them could be at a high-
er risk for STI transmission.
If you are considering sex
without condoms with your part-
ner, consider having a direct talk
about monogamy as well, even
if it seems silly or embarrassing.
Even though you may find that
monogamy is not right for you or
your partner, it is still an effec-
tive method of reducing your
STI risk, and at least you talked
about it.
Just ask them, “Can we DTR
before we’re DTF? I read it in the
DTH.”

The Interview
Dean of Students Jonathan Sauls is heavy on vision,
light on details — but his work is ahead of him.
The Interview is an opin-
ion page feature of extended
interviews with people who
affect our community, writ-
ten by members of the editorial
board. Today, Cameron Parker
writes about Dean of Students
Jonathan Sauls.
S
peaking with Jonathan
Sauls, the new dean of
students, his calm and
considered demeanor ema-
nates capability — even if you
have no idea what he’s going to
do.
On one level, Sauls under-
stands the big picture: He
wants to help students academ-
ically and personally. That’s the
job of a dean of students.
On another level, there are
specific policy areas he’s slat-
ed to address — the biggest
of which is to find a new way
forward with the Greek com-
munity.
And yet Sauls is almost dog-
matic in his stated aversion
to “one-size-fits-all” policies,
which would be all-too-easy to
implement top-down. In fact,
he repudiates them altogether.
So Sauls has given himself
quite the challenge — one he
is hard-pressed to deliver on
nearly a year-and-a-half since
the Greek community was
shaken by the death of Delta
Kappa Epsilon president
Courtland Smith and damning
cocaine busts.
Meanwhile, Sauls is settling
in to what he says has been a
smooth transition — pointing
to the benefits of coming in
with a network and familiar-
ity characteristic of internal
picks.
Outside candidates can
bring valuable fresh perspec-
tives. Yet Sauls seems to com-
pensate by being genuinely
open to discourse in order to
move forward.
“It is really about listening
early on,” he said, adding, “I’m
not a big fan of the status quo.

cept that either you move for-
