out against ordinances

Protesters rally to fight future enforcement of town ordinances.

Occupy protesters held a rally Sunday to demand Peace and Justice Plaza remain a place for free speech. The protest was in response to an email sent Jan. 18 by Town Manager Roger Stancil that called for ordinances to be enforced that might limit the movements presence. Stancil said the town opted to ignore ordinances the protesters broke during their three-month encampment. Those rules included requiring

permits for use of the space, limiting the time the space could be used by the same organization, banning camping on public property overnight and affixing signs to public buildings. He said in the future the town should try to enforce its rules. The groups decision to vacate the Plaza presents a timely opportunity for us to consider enforcement of adopted ordinances, Stancil said in the email to town council members. But protesters said they are still occupying the plaza by holding several meetings each week though their encampment has ended and they believe ordinances limiting future protests violate their rights.

Brandy McDonald, the coowner of East End Oyster and Martini Bar, says finding feces near her business was the last straw. One of her employees stepped

in what she says was human feces in an alley behind East End Tuesday, McDonald wrote in an email to officials Friday. McDonald said she believes the feces came from someone who has continued to camp out at Peace and Justice Plaza weeks after Occupy Chapel Hill ended its encampment. Officials and members of the homeless community said several people two of who declined to comment are homeless but continue to camp in the plaza as

political protesters. They said those people were given temporary security by the Occupy encampment, but Occupys move has left them without services they need. Town Councilwoman Penny Rich said while occupiers may have had good intentions, they could not satisfy some of the homeless basic requirements. Some of the homeless people camped out with them are very

UNCs policies may limit free speech

A FIre report said UNCs vague policies could be seen as censorship.
By Amanda Albright
Staff Writer

The Universitys written procedures for sexual harassment, tolerance and other policies could be interpreted as a violation of First Amendment rights, according to a recent study. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), a nonpartisan organization that advocates for the protection of civil liberties at universities, conducted the study, which defined campus censorship as university policies prohibiting speech that would otherwise be protected by the First Amendment. Campus censorship often occurs in the form of obscenity,

harassment, anti-bullying, tolerance and Internet usage policies, said Samantha Harris, director of speech code research for FIRE. The 2012 report outlined certain aspects of UNC-CH and other schools policies that threaten free speech. The study gave green, yellow and red light ratings to 392 public and private universities. Only 14 of the colleges surveyed received green light ratings, the rating given to schools whose written policies did not threaten free speech. UNC-CH received the yellow light rating because many of its written procedures are vague and could be interpreted as campus censorship, Harris said. Because of (several policies) vague wording, it is also difficult for students to know exactly what is prohibited and what is allowed, which leads to a chilling effect on student speech, she said. An example of one of these policies is the Universitys

But did you know its also an effective way to commit prescription fraud? No, you didnt, because its not. But one Tennessee man found that out the hard way. Douglas Gregory Nichols, 36, was arrested Jan. 17 on charges of prescription fraud after he wore a wig and makeup to pose as his recently deceased sister in order to pick up her Xanax and hydrocodone prescriptions. Police said Nichols trick worked the first time, but pharmacy staff recognized he wasnt the right person the second time around. Thats messed up, but were willing to bet thats not as messed up as some of the things some college students have done for Adderall.

SBP candidates ask ITS for help

Unable to set up online petitions, 3 candidates sought assistance.
By Edward Pickup
Staff Writer they now? The Daily Tar Heel catches up with former SBPs. Page 5.

INSIDE: Where are

Last week, Information Technology Services found itself preventing broken campaigns, not broken laptops. Days into the student body president campaign, three of the then-seven candidates were having so much trouble setting up online petitions that they turned to ITS for help. Shruthi Sundaram, chairwoman of the Board of Elections, said there is nothing in the Student Code that prohibits ITS from assisting candidates. Sundaram said she directed candidates to an online ITS help

tutorial for creating Onyenauthenticated websites. Each candidate must collect 1,250 signatures in order to be placed on the ballot. To sign a petition online, students are required to provide their Onyen and password. Three of the candidates Leigh Fairley, Will Leimenstoll and Warche Downing said they had trouble setting up a way to authenticate a students Onyen and approached ITS directly. Bruce Egan, director of the ITS Response Center, said it took some time to set up the website for the first candidate who approached ITS. We had no understanding going in of what the require-

ments were, he said. After the first website was set up, Egan said, that approach was used with other candidates and didnt take as long. Matt Howell, manager of walk-in services at ITS, said setting up the websites was not difficult for his staff. The cost to ITS would be no more than if someone came in and needed help troubleshooting a wireless connection. Its nothing out of the ordinary in terms of cost, he said. Howell said candidates then had to check with the Board of Elections to make sure the setup was within the rules. He added that an official system for online signatures might be set up in the future. The other candidates all said they had friends set up the petition websites. It was relatively easy once

I found a friend that was computer savvy enough, candidate Calvin Lewis said. In the past, candidates have campaigned for signatures on clipboards in the Pit or by canvassing residence halls, a method known as dorm storming. Last year, Ian Lee was the first candidate to create an online alternative to paper signatures. The Board of Elections approved the method. Lee is now a member of The Daily Tar Heels editorial board. All of the then-seven candidates set up their websites by Saturday, they said. Signatures must be submitted to the board by Tuesday at 5 p.m. Brian Min and Tim Longest are also running for student body president. Nico Garces withdrew from the race Sunday. Longest said the boards decision to approve online signatures while declining to offer further guidance was fair. It is very difficult to get set up, even if youre a serious web designer, he said. Candidates said they are mostly using social media and word of mouth to promote their online petitions. Contact the University Editor at university@dailytarheel.com.

Thorp silent on gender neutral

leader seeks members to join sustainable ecovillage

By Elizabeth Straub
Staff Writer

Christian Stalberg is seeking residents to create an ecovillage a community that would share common land, farm organically, use its own currency and be located about 10 minutes west of Chapel Hill. Stalberg said he hopes to begin construction on a community that would house up to 100 people on 100 acres of land in the Efland area by the end of the year, after clearing the project with the county. The community would use little energy, provide affordable housing and make decisions based on general consensus, he said. It would also use environmentally and socially healthy practices to create a sustainable way of life. Its also an effort at replacing the alienation of our common society where you dont know your neighbor, he said. While the community will be new, it is not the areas first intentional community a group formed on purpose by people who share common values. Arcadia Cohousing, a community in Carrboro, was also created by people who agreed to work together toward a common goal. Here in our Arcadia community, our focus is around learning how to be a good neighbor and learning to share resources, said Becky Laskody, an Arcadia resident.

The group that formed Arcadia was created in 1991 and built its community on 16.5 acres in 1994. Instead of the traditional neighborhood road, a central sidewalk connects houses in Arcadia, leads to a community garden and passes by a common house complete with kitchen, library, and guest rooms. Some houses are joined and all are located close together. Stalberg said if approved and built, the ecovillage will contain similar features, including a common house with community resources, and will also raise organic crops and livestock to feed residents. We would like the ecovillage to be as food selfsufficient as possible, he said. Stalberg said the community would use natural materials and energy-efficient methods to construct homes ranging from 100 to 400 square feet . Arcadia was also designed with the environment in mind, providing access to solar power and protecting the surrounding woods, Laskody said. Its also important for folks to see that there are different ways to create neighborhoods, she said. We dont have to stick with the usual model that developers offer. Like the planned ecovillage, Arcadia uses a democratic decision-making process that allows all residents to get involved. While residents may abstain from voting, those who participate in voting must all be in accord for the decision to stand.

Here in our Arcadia community, our focus is around learning how to be a good neighbor and learning to share resources.
Becky Laskody, Arcadia resident
Steven Fisher, an Arcadia resident, said he values Arcadias respect for privacy and of the individuals choice to get involved in the decision-making process. Fisher joined Arcadia because his wife had multiple sclerosis and needed a house to fit her needs. I was interested in having the opportunity to design a house that would suit her, he said. Elisabeth Curtis, another resident, joined partly to participate in a social experiment to see if people can live so close to one another. If we cant do it here, what hope is there for the rest of the world? she said. Laskody added that living in an intentional community helps develop interdependence. Though it takes extra work you gain a lot from the sharing that you do with other people. Contact the City Editor at city@dailytarheel.com.

Supporters of the Universitys gender-neutral housing initiative will have to wait a little longer for a decision from Chancellor Holden Thorp. Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Winston Crisp said earlier this month that Thorp would take action on the proposal by Jan. 27. That date is now passed, but Crisp said he is confident a decision will come in the next few days. Thorp was unavailable for comment Friday. University spokesman Mike McFarland said more information on the proposals status will be available this week. The gender-neutral housing proposal, if passed, would allow students of the opposite sex to live together in a specified UNC residence hall starting in the fall semester. The proposals supporters say it addresses issues of safety and would make some students feel more comfortable in their residence halls. Sophomore Kevin Claybren, who started the gender-neutral housing proposal, said he doesnt know why a decision hasnt been made yet. I was with everyone else with thinking (Thorp) was going to make one by Friday, Claybren said. Crisp wrote in an email that Thorp will need to make a decision by the end of the month at the latest. Our ability to move forward on a decision to implement would have to happen in early February, Crisp wrote. I can only assume (Thorp) had not finished his consideration in time for a decision Friday and will do so in the next day or so. Rick Bradley, assistant director of Housing and Residential Education, said in September that the housing department is ready to take action on the proposal as soon as it is approved, should Thorp approve the measure. Terri Phoenix, director of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer Center, said earlier this month that Thorp has in the past been an ally for inclusion. Claybren said he is hopeful the delay in announcing a decision reflects the amount of consideration Thorp is putting into it. Im just hoping that this time that he is taking is to make the best decision for our campus. Contact the University Editor at university@dailytarheel.com.

UNC study says high-fiber diet increases diverticulosis risk
UNC School of Medicine researchers have found that a highfiber diet increases the rise of developing diverticulosis, contradicting the widely held belief that this diet lowers the risk. Diverticulosis is a disease of the large intestine in which pouches develop in the colon wall. It affects about one-third of adults older than 60. The study also found that constipation does not increase a persons risk of the disease, contrary to another popular belief.

Bhangra elite invited to elite 8 competition

CITY BRIEFS

UNC Bhangra Elite has justified its name. The Indian folk dance team will compete in the Elite 8 Bhangra Invitational in Washington, D.C., on March 3. The invitation-only competition, sponsored by Emdo Entertainment, selects eight Bhangra teams throughout North America to participate. Of this years participants,

Bhangra Elite is the only team with both male and female members. This year marks the first time the group has been chosen for the competition. Ameer Ghodke, a captain for Bhangra Elite, said waiting for the announcement of the teams invitation was extremely drawn out. The process of our hearing about getting in is a seven- or eight-week process, he said. Every week they announce a new team, and we were on the tail end of that. He said though the team members werent expecting to be chosen, they knew they had a good shot.

Prasant Lokinendi, the teams manager, said the invitation confirms Bhangra Elites status as a highly talented team. Its kind of like the Elite Eight in basketball, he said. When you get that far, you know youre a good team. Bianca Patel, another one of the teams captains, said Bhangra Elite will begin holding extra practices to prepare for Elite 8. Ghodke said the team will practice for two or three hours every night. You have to prepare like varsity sports do for a big game, he said. Patel also said that prior to

the competition, the team will have to make some changes to the routine it typically performs. Were going to have to add some more gimmicks for Elite 8, she said. Less than a week before Elite 8, Bhangra Elite will perform in another competition in Durham that calls for a more traditional routine, Patel said. Ghodke said the quick transition between the different routines will be a challenge, but he knows Bhangra Elite will be up to it. When you have something as big as this, everyone buckles down, he said. Lokinendi said two or three

Local school board submits letter about charter school

Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Board of Education sent a letter last week to the chairman of the N.C. State Board of Education asking that the board reject the application for a new elementary charter school in Chapel Hill. The letter stated that based on its business model, the Lee Scholars School would tend to reduce the resources available to underserved students who might attend the school. The letter also stated the charter school would negatively impact the school districts budget, which could hurt the districts initiatives to address problems like the achievement gap. -From staff and wire reports

years ago, Bhangra Elite would never have been chosen to compete. We were nowhere close to that level, he said. But now, with a lot of hard work, were one of the top teams in the United States and Canada. Contact the Arts Editor at arts@dailytarheel.com.

Writing for Screen Pauper Players present minor remains small carefree entertainment

Time: 8 p.m. tonight and Tuesday

In 2003, UNC became one of few public universities to offer a screenwriting program for undergraduates. Nine years later, the Writing for the Screen and Stage minor program remains a rare but often overlooked opportunity for aspiring dramatic writers. We really want people who are, in their minds, serious about this career, said Dana Coen, interim director of the program. The application period for the ninth class of the program opens Wednesday to sophomores. The program is designed for students devoted to dramatic writing, Coen said. Once accepted, students are required to take five courses over their last four semesters three development, one analysis and one screenwriting history to hone their skills in television, film and play writing. Coen said the history class teaches students the story behind screenwriters current undervalued positions in the industry and makes them aware of their value as storytellers in the industry. They need to come out knowing their worth, he said. Movies cant be made without scripts. The program also prepares students for the postgraduate reality of entertainment writing. Once you graduate from college, its a hard world out there, said David Sontag, who directed the program at UNC until his retirement last spring. Sontag first implemented the program nine years ago after the University received a $500,000 grant from alum and fellow screenwriter Michael Piller to create a screenwriting program. He said he wanted to give students a way of expressing themselves through digital and visual media a form that combines words and images to reflect the human experience. Sontag said that in novels an author has time to develop a characters inner monologue, but

thats not the case with dramatic writing or real life. We live in a space between the words, he said. He also said the five courses were adequate in training while giving students the opportunity to take liberal arts courses. That was the proper length for it, he said. Were not a conservatory. The programs professors all former Hollywood screenwriters teach their students to become independent so they can succeed. You prepare them the best you can, and its up to them to go to Los Angeles or New York and prove themselves, said Scott Myers, a professor in the program. But the program can provide a head start in the industry.

Featuring classic Broadway tunes and pop-culture parodies, Sundays matinee of Pauper Players annual production Broadway Melodies was a highenergy, entertaining show. Three small musicals The Kardashians: The Musical, Avatartanic and Pokemon: The Musical were written by and catered to students. Each is cleverly hilarious. The writers of the musicals utilized the melodies of Broadway, sampling from Les Miserables, Sweeney Todd and Grease. But their original stories were based on what their target audience knew: Kim Kardashians divorce, Celine Dions influence on Titanic, the blue oddities of Avatar and the gaming storyline of Pokemon. Under the Sea from The Little Mermaid became In N.Y.C., sung by Kris Jenner played by Rosalee Lewis in Kardashians, convincing her daughters to audition for a Broadway show. The unique lyrics were perfectly intertwined with the origi-

nal songs. Each story was a parody of its respective topic, making jokes about the Kardashian family dynamics and the cheesy romances in Titanic and Avatar. The performers technical skills, though, were hit-or-miss. George Barrett, playing both Reggie Bush in Kardashians and Jack Dawson in Avatartanic, was inaudible when accompanied by the piano or his fellow cast members. But Alex Daly, who played Ash in Pokemon, was heard clearly as he filled the auditorium with spot-on notes as audience members clapped along with the music. The acting was sometimes unrealistic, and the timing of dialogue was unnaturally off. Brandon Lannings portrayal of James Cameron in Avatartanic had a line that epitomized the shows spirit.

Why would you come to a show called Avatartanic if you expect us to follow the rules? The show didnt care about seriousness it cared about fun. The cast stayed devoted to the story, embodying tackily passionate characters. The performers displayed obvious affection for the show. It appeared the shows only goal was the audiences enjoyment and judging by the standing ovation at curtain call, that goal was achieved. Broadway Melodies is carefree entertainment that validates guilty pleasures. Its better than reality television. Contact the Arts Editor at arts@dailytarheel.com.

Romney has double-digit lead in Florida polls
ORLANDO, Fla. (MCT) Mitt Romney opened a commanding lead in Florida Sunday, driving his rivals to start shifting their sights to other states as more suitable battlegrounds to keep challenging him for the Republican presidential nomination. Three new polls showed the former Massachusetts governor seizing a double-digit lead over his nearest competitor, former House speaker Newt Gingrich, in Florida, where voting will end on Tuesday. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas and former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania trailed far behind, with little hope of victory in a state where the winner will take all 50 delegates, and the rest will get nothing. Gingrich planned to barnstorm the state by air Monday in a primary-eve push to close the gap. But he also looked past the likely loss on Tuesday, insisting that the anti-Romney vote eventually will coalesce around him. We will go all the way to the convention, he said Sunday. Santorum, who suspended campaigning to be at the hospital bedside of his 3-year-old daughter, sent surrogates to Florida. He looked ahead to the next contest on Feb. 4 in Nevada. His campaign is opening an office in Las Vegas. And Paul, who already abandoned Florida, wrapped up two days of campaigning in Maine, which also holds caucuses on Feb. 4. I think thats a real good place for us to break through, he said Sunday. Romney opened his big lead in Florida as Gingrichs bounce off a win in South Carolina evaporated. Romney led Gingrich by 42 to 27 percent in a new NBC-Marist poll, one of three polls with similar margins. Santorum had 16 percent and Paul had 11 percent. Mitt Romney has shored up support among his key backers while cutting his losses among Tea Party voters, said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion. The net effect is that he is in the drivers seat as Tuesdays primary approaches.

Sudanese rebels abduct Chinese construction workers

BEIJING (MCT) Sudanese rebels have kidnapped about 30 Chinese construction workers who were building a road in a remote stretch of the country, Chinese and Sudanese sources said Sunday. The workers camp in South Kordofan was attacked late Saturday by the Sudan Peoples Liberation Movement, a guerrilla force said to be allied with Southern Sudan, the worlds newest country. A rebel spokesman was quoted saying 29 Chinese workers were being held for their own safety because of fighting in the area. In Beijing, the foreign ministry confirmed Sunday that its nationals have gone missing. The Chinese Foreign Ministry and the Chinese Embassy to Sudan have initiated an emergency response to the incident, Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin was quoted as saying by the Xinhua news agency.

Chinese Language Immersion Program

The Chinese language immersion program at UNC was my first real exposure to the Chinese culture and language. The workload was intense, but in the immersion program I fell in love with Chinese. Therefore, I considered adding it as a second major, something I wouldnt have been able to do if I hadnt been able to cover so many credits during the summer. The intensity of the immersion program helped prepare me for study abroad in Beijing and handle the 24-hour language pledge at CET Beijings Intensive Language Program. ~ Victoria Spring Senior Psychology Major

Student body presidents here and now

February will be a month spent honoring the towns cool spirit.

As six student body president candidates vie for a position that would define their senior year, former student body presidents from the 1960s to 2011 said that the position influenced the course of their lives. Jon Curtis, associate director of student activities and organizations for the Carolina Union, wrote in an email that he has met almost every living student body president from UNC. He said he has worked with student body presidents for the last 17 years as an advisor to student government.

Jamie Rohe, the program coordinator for the Orange County Partnership to End Homelessness, said it has been common for homeless people and travelers to stay in Occupy encampments across the country. It becomes a sort of safe place to sleep outdoors, she said. I think they probably get some food, some company, someone to talk to, some sympathy. Heather Epes, a Carrboro resident and events bottom liner ment after applying the facts of a particular situation and individual review, she said. The University of Virginia, one of the 14 colleges that received a green light rating from FIRE this year, had a sexual harassment policy similar to ASUs, and it received a red light rating for the policy in 2010. But after hearing a speaker from FIRE, UVAs Dean of Students Allen Groves said he began altering the schools policies, which he said were too broad and punished offensive speech but not necessarily sexual harassment. Tolerance and civility policies are other procedures in which UNC-CH, N.C. State University and East Carolina University violate the First Amendment, according to FIREs report. Harris said schools should encourage tolerance but not mandate it, because schools cannot limit speech to only the inoffensive. for the Occupy Chapel Hill movement, said it was never the intention of Occupy to provide a lasting support system for the homeless, but they did engage with the homeless while camping out. Its more to point out to other folks that you can interact with the homeless, and they can be part of your community, she said. Epes said she was aware the Occupy movement couldnt provide all the services the homeless require, but she questions if Chapel Hill is doing enough to help the homeless.

opportunities to benefit from University life? Winston Crisp, UNC-CHs vice chancellor for student affairs, said he is comfortable with the yellow light rating because the Universitys policies focus on conduct rather than speech. I understand that adverse effect could be applied loosely and be problematic, he said. But we are talking about actions that make it difficult for people to access education. Red light ratings were given to 256 of the 392 schools surveyed for policies that FIRE said restrict freedom of speech. Five UNC-system schools received the red light. FIREs website cited

Appalachian State Universitys harassment policy as one of the reasons for its red light rating. The foundation said the policy prohibits offensive behavior instead of sexual harassment. The Office of Equity, Diversity and Compliance at ASU includes sexual innuendos, sexually explicit questions and repeated requests for dates with someone who isnt interested as sexual harassment. But according to FIREs report, sexual harassment is deemed by U.S. Supreme Court rulings as extreme and repetitive behavior that interferes with a persons ability to receive an education. Linda Foulsham, director of the office at ASU, said the red light rating was completely unwarranted. The instances would only be determined to be sexual harass-

listening to speakers at the rally read, The first amendment is our permit. At the protest, speakers from Occupy discussed a range of issues focused on free speech, performed a play and sang. Andy Koch, a UNC Students for a Democratic Society member who spoke at the rally, said the ordinances restricted free speech. Our voice is being pushed out of the way by ordinances, by police, he said. Protester Alex Berkman said from its start, the movement has valued constitutional rights more than town restrictions. What was important was that we were asserting our rights as

Explore your passions with a grant from the SEF
TO THE EDITOR: The next deadline to apply for the Student Enrichment Fund is on the horizon and we would like to encourage students to capitalize on this opportunity to both explore their passions and enrich the Carolina community. The Student Enrichment Fund distributes grants each month for individual students or a pair of students to attend a conference, seminar, lecture or other enriching academic endeavor outside of UNCs campus. These $200 to $400 grants can be used to cover any costs associated with the event, from travel expenses to conference admission fees. The beauty of the Student Enrichment Fund is that it is an open-ended grant for students to explore their own passions. Carolina is a campus rich with a diversity of student interests, and the Student Enrichment Fund seeks to reflect and reward that diversity. Thus, there are no limitations on the types of conferences to which students can apply to attend. The only requirement is that students must be willing and able to meaningfully share what theyve learned from their enrichment experiences with the Carolina community. In early October, The Daily Tar Heel editorial board put it best when they stated that college is an ideal time to discover new ideas, develop new talents and broaden your world view. The Student Enrichment Fund is already allowing students to extend the Carolina Way by experiencing the value of different perspectives, beliefs and opinions. Please visit http:// execbranch.web.unc.edu/ for more information about the Student Enrichment Fund. Applications are due Feb. 1. Katy Koesy Senior Journalism and Public Policy It is true that the ASG president is a non-voting member of the Board of Governors. Still, there is much ASG can do to ensure the board hears students voices. I have met hundreds of students from campuses throughout the UNC system who oppose these hikes. ASG has the opportunity to prove that it indeed represents students by bringing these students to Chapel Hill on Feb. 10. ASG does have the capacity to mobilize students and has done it before. In 2001, they mobilized 5,000 students to successfully protest and lobby the N.C. General Assembly to reduce budget cuts. If you think ASG should help students from your campus to come to Chapel Hill and have their voices heard, tell your student body president you want to be at the meeting on Feb. 10 and ask that ASG fund your transportation. Students want to be heard on Feb. 10. ASG should do its job and make that happen. Ana Maria Reichenbach Senior International Studies

ver since Occupy Chapel Hill set up camp in Peace and Justice Plaza, the town has learned a great lesson about what measures people will take to have their voices heard. Recently, the group has taken concern with a memo written by Town Manager Roger Stancil asking the Town Council to discuss the enforcement of ordinances regarding the use of public space in Chapel Hill. I attended Occupy Chapel Hills rally on Sunday in the plaza, where the movement pushed for Chapel Hill to free up public space. The group also has a petition on its website calling for the immediate repeal of three of Chapel Hills public space ordinances. While Occupy Chapel Hill didnt foster any noticeable changes in the town (besides a campsite on Franklin Street), it may have a point in all its noise. Some of the current rules Stancil outlines in his memo are clearly archaic and should be reviewed. One ordinance states that the town managers office cant issue permits for protests in public spaces on Sundays, a rule that doesnt have much effect on safety. But the Town Council should keep its restriction on how long groups can stay in public spaces because areas in the town designated for public use should be open to all residents, not dominated by one cause. Occupy Chapel Hill demonstrated that it is possible to protest peacefully without following the ordinances in question. The protesters didnt cause any major incidents and encouraged safe and spirited activism. But regardless of safety or aesthetic concerns, the towns public spaces should be available to any resident. With protests settling in public spaces for days at a time, every group wanting to promote their cause cant possibly be accommodated. While Occupy has every right to protest there, the restrictions are a matter of consideration for other peoples rights. Occupy may have cooperated with some groups, but seeing the camp in the plaza is enough to discourage a group from trying to reserve the space for itself. The restrictions within the ordinances address this issue clearly. There is a rule prohibiting the town from issuing a space permit more than six consecutive days in a row to the same group a rule that is in place to regulate the fair use of the space. Ever since Peace and Justice Plaza was renamed in 2006, it has been dedicated to giving a voice to nonprofit organizations that cant get their voices heard otherwise. Various groups have used the plaza for protests, ceremonies, rallies and even Girl Scout cookie sales. But when one group dominates the space, the plazas goal of opportunity for everyone cannot be achieved. Yes, Occupy had and still has the right to protest in the plaza. The same goes to any other group in the town. The town isnt taking away any groups rights of free speech or assembly by placing time restrictions on public space use, which are Occupys main argument against these ordinances. Chapel Hill was certainly sympathetic to Occupy Chapel Hill by letting it camp out for three months in the premiere protest spot on Franklin Street. Now that the tents are gone, the town must remember that every resident of Chapel Hill has their own cause and should be able to have their voice heard in a public space.

Coach, can I tweet that?

NC womens basketball coach Sylvia Hatchells recent Twitter ban may seem trivial when compared to the host of problems UNC athletic teams have navigated in recent years. But Hatchells decision to forbid her players from using the site raises some vexing questions about the intersection between student athletes private lives and their public personas. In the classroom, student athletes are treated the same as any other student or at least they should be. Theoretically, athletes are held to the same academic standards as their classmates, and they abide by the same rules.

EDiTOriAl

The athletic department needs consistency in its social media policy.

Likewise, when athletes encounter disciplinary problems, they are afforded the same rights to privacy and due process as any other student. When it comes to their public lives, however, athletes are held to different standards, since they act as representatives of UNC. This too seems sensible. But for the grey area between public and private interactions, University policy is lacking and most social media falls squarely in this gray area. The athletic departments current social media policy includes such generalities as Everything you post is public information, and vague admonitions like What you post may affect your future. Without more specific guidance, students and coaches are left to make it up as they go along, and the right path isnt always clear. An outright

ban seems rash, but a coachs desire to err on the side of caution is perfectly understandable, especially when the stakes are so high. Disgraced former football star Marvin Austin provided a classic social media cautionary tale when he penned an incriminating tweet two summers ago, sparking a lengthy NCAA investigation and leading to his dismissal from the team. UNCs current policy reflects a crude understanding of social media. It needs to be rewritten to better address the various and complex problems student athletes encounter. No policy like this will ever be perfect, but the University should at least take a stab at it. UNC owes its student athletes consistency and clarity about what is expected of them, not just on and off the field, but also online.

Ignoring an abortion is disregarding the woman

TO THE EDITOR: There are many things we take issue with in the Jan. 26 letter, A womans choice is none of our businesses. First, Carolina Students for Life is not religiously affiliated. Moreover, abortion is a human rights issue. Scientifically, one becomes a distinct and unique human being at fertilization. Yes, embryos are less developed than infants. Infants, in turn, are less developed than adults, teenagers and even toddlers. Does that mean that infants do not have the right to live if their mothers so choose? What makes the embryo different from a newborn is merely its size, level of development, environment and degree of dependency none of which qualify for the justification of taking innocent human life. The letter claims that abortion is none of our businesses. This argument is marked by a false sense of compassion. Telling a woman that she lives with the consequences is not a compassionate response to someone who finds herself in a difficult and often frightening situation. It does not in fact liberate her to make an independent choice, but rather, it disregards her situation and often leaves her alone without support. The fact is, women do get hurt by abortions. Organizations like Silent No More exist so that men and women who have experienced abortions can voice their pain and loss with the hope that others will not be hurt in the same way. Their experiences should never be dismissed. Christina Geradts Sarah Urdzik Carolina Students for Life

Include students at BOG

he UNC-system Board of Governors needs to post a detailed schedule for its February meetings so students who hope to attend can plan accordingly. Though the BOGs tuition decision will be made in Chapel Hill, its effects will be felt across the state. Unless the board telegraphs to students exactly when during the two-day meeting the discussion about tuition will take place, students from the 17 UNC-system campuses wont be able to coordinate their efforts. UNC-system President Thomas Ross proposed tuition

EDiTOriAl

The board should do more to facilitate student involvement.

increases for system schools will likely pass when the board meets on Feb. 10, but students should still capitalize on the publicity surrounding the vote to make their voices heard. If nothing else, protests outside the meeting will demonstrate to the board that students are not being effectively represented on the board and that they are clamoring to be part of the process. Student participation in the meeting itself is also an issue. Currently, the only student who can speak at board meetings is Atul Bhula, the president of the UNC-system Association of Student Governments. But for an issue like tuition, one voice isnt enough, particularly a silent one. Bhula has

barely spoken at board meetings, squandering a critical opportunity for student input. The board should find ways to involve students more in its decision-making process, even if their procedures preclude participation by students other than Bhula. Though students will never be happy about a tuition increase, better involvement would likely mitigate their dissatisfaction. In the future, the board should add a campus outreach event to its regular meeting schedule. In order for this model to work, however, interested students have to show up. Without continued participation in the process, students cannot expect the board to give much weight to their views.

Ask ASG to pay for your transportation to BOG

TO THE EDITOR: Every year, students pay a portion of their fees to support the Association of Student Governments. In return, the ASG president is supposed to represent our interests at the Board of Governors. But though the BOG plans to raise tuition to historically high levels on Feb. 10, ASG has done little to oppose these hikes.

Educating voters
n November, North Carolina will elect new state legislators, new national representatives and a new governor on top of helping choose the next president. These elections will determine the trajectory of public education both in this state and across the country. As voters in a swing state, North Carolinians will play a critical role in this process. UNC students should make the most of this opportunity to influence education policy. If for some reason students dont think they are affected by education policy, perhaps this

EDiTOriAl

years tuition increases will convince them otherwise. Whether they support Democrats or Republicans, or arent yet sure of their political leanings, all UNC students have a stake in the upcoming elections. If they hope to avoid future tuition increases, students should vote accordingly. Our state legislators play a crucial, if indirect, role in these debates by appointing the members of the UNCsystem Board of Governors. And as beneficiaries of North Carolinas education spending, we should support candidates who support our school. On a national scale, too, education has loomed large in political conversations. Last Tuesdays State of the Union address provided good evi-

dence of this; Obama dedicated a solid portion of his speech to the importance of education to the future of this country. Obama also mentioned North Carolina three times in Tuesdays address. This was no coincidence, nor was the decision to hold this years Democratic National Convention in Charlotte. Obamas narrow victory here in 2008 has established North Carolina as a battleground state, and efforts to target voters here will only increase as the election approaches. UNC students should take advantage of this spotlight and make sure that education remains at the forefront of political dialogue. With so much at stake, we cant afford to be apathetic.

ASG is trying to organize buses to transport students from some far-reaching UNC-system schools to Chapel Hill for the meeting. Tonight at 8 p.m., Mary Cooper is hosting a teach-in about tuition at the Campus Y. The teach-in is open to all students.

Henry said the validity of the evaluations will improve after principals have had a few years to practice using the tool. This takes training on the part of principals, and practice, he said. Garland said the department will hire a staff member to help improve the reliability of the data and work with principals to standardize their responses to the evaluations. The evaluation system has essentially been converted from a tool for professional development to a means of improving transparency, Henry said. Its really being retrofitted, in a way, for a purpose that it wasnt necessarily designed to fulfill, he said. It can probably do it, but there may need to be refinements in order to work out all the issues with it.

In a politically charged yet lighthearted musical skit, a group of UNC students serenaded Orange County residents about gay marriage Sunday evening. N.C. Amendment One: The Musical! is a six-minute show about the proposed same-sex marriage amendment that will appear on the upcoming primary ballots in May. The amendment would define marriage between one man and one woman as the only domestic union recognized in North Carolina. UNC sophomore Rachel Kaplan wrote and produced the musical in an effort to inform voters and to demystify the politics surrounding Amendment One. Kaplan and a group of 15 students performed the musical Sunday at the Orange County Human Relations Month Forum 2012, Defining Marriage in North Carolina by Constitutional Amendment: What are the Implications? A panel before the performance facilitated a discussion about the proposed amendment and the Contact the State & National potential negative impact it would Editor at state@dailytarheel.com. have on unmarried couples.

The energy of the small cast provided an upbeat conclusion to the dialogue between the forums panel and audience. Pitting politicians against citizens, the plotline hinges on the contention over voting for the rights of those in same-sex and domestic partnerships. The cheerful resiliency of the citizens contrasts with the brusque demands of the politicians. Each groups arguments create a palpable tension on stage. Seemingly at an impasse, the debate is interrupted by the jovial hail of George Washington, played by sophomore Ben Elling. He is the star of the show when he descends on the politicians and citizens, wittily knocking some sense into the situation. With a disheveled white wig and a wide grin, Elling comically reminds everyone that the nation was built on the separation of church and state and that all people are equal without exception. Panelist and UNC law professor Maxine Eichner stressed the importance of educating voters. It would be a travesty for this amendment to pass if voters are

not informed. Kaplans musical skit delivered the same message, yet in a lighter, spirit-fingers way. In a crescendo, the shows final lyric pressed voters to get your butt to the polls and vote against N.C. Amendment One. Contact the Arts Editor at arts@dailytarheel.com.

UNC wrestling falls to Terrapins, Navy

By Robbie Harms
Staff Writer

demon deacons

Before Fridays meet against No. 13 Maryland, North Carolina redshirt senior wrestler Kyle Kiss was diagnosed with a torn ligament in his thumb and was told that he was done wrestling, coach C.D. Mock said. Kiss not only went on to wrestle that night against the No. 2 wrestler in his weight class but he chose to compete in Saturdays meet against Navy, too. UNC lost to the ACC-leading Terrapins 25-10 and fell to the Midshipmen 25-12 at Carmichael Arena, but Kiss toughness typified UNCs attitude for the weekend a resilient, never-say-die mindset that left the team with something to build upon as it enters the last two months of the season. It was an inspiration to all of us and demonstrative of why hes a team captain, C.D. Mock said. To try to wrestle without a thumb is remarkable. The final scores of the two meets were nearly identical, but the momentum in each was anything but. In Fridays contest, Maryland (13-0, 3-0 ACC) put UNC (2-13, 1-3) on its back foot from the start. In the first match of the night the heavyweight division No. 8 Spencer Myers pinned UNC freshman Frank Abbondanza in 1:39 to give the Terrapins an early 6-0 lead. The six-point margin was the closest the Tar Heels came to Maryland for the rest of the night. In Saturdays meet, on the other hand, UNC led for the majority of the contest before

dth/spencer herlong Redshirt senior Kyle Kiss tries to take down his opponent. Kiss wrestled both Friday and Saturday despite a torn ligament in his thumb.

Navy (5-6) reeled off five straight victories and 18 consecutive points to claim the win. Aside from Kiss grittiness, the weekend did offer some bright spots for the Tar Heels. No. 19 Corey Mock continued his winning streak in the 157pound division Friday night by defeating No. 11 Kyle John 11-2. His run was at seven in a row before he fell in his match against Navy. Zac Bennett pinned his 197pound Navy opponent in 1:34 on Saturday and went toe-to-toe with No. 5 Christian Boley in a loss on Friday. Bennett said his work in practice was a major reason he was able to secure the pin. After I got the takedown secured, I knew that I was going to have to break the guy down. Thats something Ive been working on a lot with the coaches

getting the guy flat before I go for the pin, he said. I broke him down once. Whenever you feel like you can get the pin, youve got to just go for it. And I went for it and it all worked out good. Freshman No. 20 Evan Henderson and redshirt senior Thomas Ferguson also had strong weekends for the Tar Heels. Henderson won both of his matches while Ferguson was 1-1, the loss coming by two points to Navys only ranked wrestler. It was Kiss, Ferguson and fellow senior Brock LiVorios last regular-season home meets. They were all honored in a ceremony before Saturdays contest. Redshirt senior Nick Tenpenny was also honored at the ceremony but did not wrestle this weekend. Contact the Sports Editor at sports@dailytarheel.com. the last time that happened, Marshall said. UNCs defensive play set up open shots from long range. Many of the shots were made when the Yellow Jackets struggled to find shooters in transition. When we have an advantage going down there, they have to make a choice if they want to stop me, stop the bigs or stop the wings, Marshall said. They kept leaving the wings open.

minutes that UNC was able to surge ahead for good, led by junior Tierra Ruffin-Pratt. The guard drove the lane, hit a layup and was fouled with three minutes remaining. Upon seeing her shot drop through the net, Ruffin-Pratt emitted a primal yell. The release of energy and aggression did not stop there as Ruffin-Pratt added seven points to her career-high 21 points in the final three minutes. Ruffin-Pratts contribution added to UNCs 11-6 scoring advantage to close out the game. Shegog was also a source of steady scoring for the Tar Heels, adding 19 points. In a game that boiled down to fine details, UNC emerged victorious. I feel like we played hard tonight, Petersen said. But we didnt play well enough to beat Carolina tonight and thats the only team that we were playing. This was a winnable game against a very good team. At the end of the day, we just needed to make one or two more shots and get one or two more rebounds. Contact the Sports Editor at sports@dailytarheel.com.

shoulder to Tyler Zeller where he finished it off with an easy layup. With both Kendall and John, youve got to be ready for any pass, Zeller said. I like to think my hands are good enough that I can catch the tough passes. Its something that John does a fantastic job of getting the ball somewhere where I can catch it, and then Ive got to be able to make a play from there. Harrison Barnes led all scorers with 23 points on a strong shoot-

ing performance. Barnes was 8-for-14 including a perfect 3-for3 from long range. Barnes was effective with the one-dribble pull-up, but of his six misses, Williams said they were mostly the result of poor decision making. Every time (Barnes) attacked the basket in the first half, it was a bad play, Williams said. Hes 4-for-8 at half and one circus shot he made, the other three were wide open. Those werent very good decisions. Second half we called a play for him out of bounds to shoot

the three, and the guy came up on him and he went by him and dunked it. Williams drew the ire of the referees early in the second half and was hit with a technical foul. The Tar Heels responded by sending home back-to-back emphatic dunks by Zeller and Reggie Bullock to give UNC a 21-point lead. The Yellow Jackets called timeout to stop the run, but they could never cut the UNC lead back to single digits. Contact the Sports Editor at sports@dailytarheel.com.

swimming

UNC graduate and former varsity swimmer. When I swam, we never beat them. Now, the shoe is on the other foot. But one accomplishment that has eluded UNC in recent memory is an ACC title. For this group of swimmers, that goal takes precedence over any rivalry. With the men atop the ACC and the women in third, UNCs chances at a title seem as good as ever. Still, DeSelm remains wary. The dual meet is a very different animal, he said. Championship meets require, in addition to a strong front line, depth. The Tar Heel coaching staff intentionally scheduled back-toback meets to get a feel for how a long-haul championship meet would wear on the team. But on Saturdays Senior Day, UNCs seniors couldnt keep a certain emotional aspect from

The dual meet is a very different animal. Championship meets require ... depth.

mingling with their businesslike approach to the weekends competition. For senior Evan Reed, swimmings immersing lifestyle will be the hardest thing to leave behind. As freshmen were taken from our families and what were comfortable with and put in an environment were not used to, he said. That creates a family mentality. We do everything together. Its going to be hard next year knowing that I wont have that support that Ive had, and that I wont be around my best friends that Ive had for four years. Senior Wil Singley said hes trying to appreciate the little things as his swimming career comes to a close. Its bittersweet, he said. As

a senior, youre doing the same things that youve done the previous three years, but everythings the last time. ... Youre really trying not to take it for granted. Contact the Sports Editor at sports@dailytarheel.com.

a buzzworthy win
I like to think my hands are good enough that I can catch the tough passes.
Tyler Zeller, senior forward
again, didnt go in, but I think if Im hitting that shot Im helping my team out. For the rest of the game, Marshall helped his team in his natural fashion as he finished with 12 assists, seven points and just one turnover. As a team, the Yellow Jackets had just nine assists. Kendall sets the tone because he is a very much a giving point guard whos trying to get the ball to guys, Williams said. But Marshall wasnt the only Tar Heel spreading the ball around, and that was most apparent just about five minutes into the second half. After pulling down the defensive rebound, Marshall led the break and hit John Henson with a no-look dish in traffic. Instead of going to the hoop with it, Henson dropped a nolook pass of his own over his

Kendall Marshall dishes out 12 assists to lead UNC to victory.

The North Carolina mens basketball team was making things looks easy from the start of its ACC matchup with Georgia Tech. For coach Roy Williams, it was almost too easy. Things looked easy early, and that always scares me to death because Ive never seen anything where it was easy the entire game, Williams said. In the first few minutes everybody is passing; were making threes; were making dunks; Zs running and that kind of thing. After making the first shot of UNCs 93-81 win, Kendall Marshall nearly racked up a dollars worth of dimes before the break, giving the Tar Heels a 20-point advantage 20 minutes into the game. Marshall said that was the first time hed opened the game with a 3-pointer since middle school. It felt good just to get my confidence going, he said. Took the second one, felt good

Tar Heels deliver from long range

UNCs victory was fueled by sharp 3-point shooting.

When Dexter Strickland tore his ACL, North Carolina knew its defense would take a hit. But what the Tar Heels miss on defense, they make up for with more minutes for more accomplished 3-point shooters. In Sundays game against Georgia Tech, those increased minutes turned into more production from long range. The Tar Heels drained 10 3-pointers on a season-high 62.5 percent 3-point shooting rate in their 93-81 victory against the Yellow Jackets. UNC started the game with a bang from deep, hitting three

3-pointers before the first timeout. Dexter has the ability to attack, coach Roy Williams said. Reggie (Bullock) and P.J. (Hairston) have an ability to attack, but its from the 3-point line. Were good shooters, we really are. Ive said the whole time that when we started making them, it would make things even a lot prettier. Five Tar Heels sunk longrange shots, including backup point guard Stilman White. The freshman used a hesitation move that took Pierre Jordan to the ground and then nailed a three from the top. The basket caused a roar in the Smith Center crowd. I think they want to see the short white boy go out and hit

Senior Tyler Zeller (top) sends one through the hoop with authority for two of his 17 points Sunday night. Point guard Kendall Marshall (bottom left) had 12 assists in a team-high 31 minutes. New starter Reggie Bullock (bottom right) knocked down three shots from behind the arc in on his way to 11 points against Georgia Tech in the Smith Center.

Second chance points bring win

The Tar heels were able to earn 23 second-chance points.

WINSTON-SALEM With 4.2 seconds remaining in the first half of North Carolinas 75-71 win, an expected Wake Forest cheer erupted from the Demon Deacon faithful. Not willing to let the home crowd get the last word, UNC senior Chay Shegog countered, inciting a Tar Heels cheer that soon spread through the fans decked out in light blue. Its definitely a good atmosphere to play in, Shegog said. Any ACC atmosphere is like that. With the whole Tar Heel chant, the whole Wake Forest thing was throwing me off, so I had to get our team back in it. The fierce battle between fan

bases was not the only one in Lawrence Joel Coliseum, as the UNC and Wake Forest womens basketball teams traded leads all afternoon before UNC sealed the win. Entering the contest, six teams separated Wake Forest and UNC in ACC rankings, but the two teams looked evenly matched in a game that saw 17 lead changes and 11 ties. Wake Forest got an early jump on UNC, pushing out to a 8-0 lead before Krista Gross gave UNC its first points with just less than 16 minutes remaining in the first half. Im not sure if it was what they were doing, or if it was what we were doing to ourselves, UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell said. They were doubling down some in there on

Chay. But we werent getting our cuts in our offense and everything. They kept mixing up the defenses. I dont think we were attacking. I think in the last 10 to 12 minutes we started attacking better against their press. Both teams shot well, but the difference was in secondchance points. Wake Forest only converted eight second-chance points while the Tar Heels earned 23. Their first shots didnt beat us, but their second shots did, Wake Forest coach Mike Petersen said. (Laura) Broomfield had (seven) offensive rebounds in the second half. She was a monster in there, and we didnt do a good enough job of getting her out of there. On the day, Broomfield finished with 20 points and 18 rebounds. It wasnt until the final three

For most varsity athletes at North Carolina, beating Duke would be ample cause for a night of celebration. But by the time UNCs swimmers left Dukes Taishoff Aquatic Center, victory in tow, their next meet lay less than 14 hours ahead back in Chapel Hill. A number of solid performances might have helped them rest a little easier. Divers Jenna Moore and David MacDonald both placed first at the one-meter height and second at three meters at Duke. Steve Cebertowicz took the 50- and 100-yard freestyle events in addition to anchoring UNCs

winning 400-yard freestyle relay team. UNCs Kelsey Cummings, Danielle Siverling and Jackie Rudolph swept the top three spots in the 500-yard freestyle. While both of his teams won handily at Duke the men 165121 and the women 178-111 coach Rich DeSelm said he didnt see the same inspiration he saw last week against Virginia. And any flatness Friday was only compounded by fatigue on Saturday. UNC split the meet with the Wolfpack, as the Tar Heel women prevailed, 178.5-119.5, and the men fell, 151.5-145.5. UNCs men hadnt lost to N.C. State in 12 years. But that figure is, in one respect, a sign of how far the program has come. When I was a swimmer, and for years prior to that, N.C. State was a top-10 team in the country, said DeSelm, a 78
