A PRESIDENTS PLEA
When President Barack Obama takes the stage at UNC today, he will appeal to Congress to support legislation extending lower interest rates for student loans.
By Estes Gould
Senior Writer

Affordability has been a topic of discussion everywhere on campus this year from the protests in board room meetings to the pragmatic discussions between student groups. But this time that familiar topic will be

addressed before the University community by the president of the United States himself. Today, President Barack Obama plans to speak on a pressing topic for students nationwide: federal loans to pay for college. More than seven million students in the country have loans with interest rates that will double in July, but Obama is pushing Congress to stall the increase.

His two-day tour with stops at UNC, the University of Colorado at Boulder and the University of Iowa will campaign to extend legislation that lowered interest rates for student loans in the past four years. Without the extension, the rates will revert to 2008s levels twice todays rate of 3.4 percent. On the national level, student debt has reached $1 trillion this year, outpacing cred-

it card debt among young adults. But rates of student debt at UNC are significantly lower than many of its peer institutions. Fewer UNC students borrow money from the federal government than the national average. Only one-third of UNC students use federal loans to pay for college.

Looking back on presidential visits

By Amanda Albright
Staff Writer

James k. POlk
When Polk visited his alma mater in 1847, Chapel Hill residents waited in tents in anticipation for their presidents carriage to arrive. Polk graduated from UNC in 1818. Thirty years later, he made the nine-hour carriage ride between Raleigh and Chapel Hill with an entourage of supporters to speak at the Universitys graduation.

James BUChaNaN
Buchanan spoke on campus in 1859, two years before the Civil War, about the importance of Southern states remaining in the Union. Buchanan advised his audience to devote themselves to the principles of the U.S. Constitution in order to protect their liberties. Accounts of the event said that the president flirted with young N.C. women.

FraNkliN D. rOOsevelt
Roosevelts speech at Woollen Gymnasium in 1938 occurred shortly before the onset of World War II. It was broadcast by more than 225 radio stations in the United States and overseas. Roosevelt was given an honorary UNC degree. I ... am proud to become an alumnus of UNC, typifying as it does American thought through American action, he said.

It took about 12 total hours to give out all the tickets to todays events featuring President Barack Obama. As of 3:40 p.m. Monday, all tickets for both Obamas speech on student loans and the 2 p.m. taping of NBCs Late Night with

Jimmy Fallon were claimed. Though there were barely any lines Monday for tickets to the speech, it still took almost the full six hours of distribution time for tickets to go. Laura Hayes Morgan, director of University events, confirmed that all tickets for the speech were given out. It will take place at Carmichael Arena, which seats 8,010, and the taping will be at Memorial Hall, which seats 1,434. Austin Gilmore, president of UNCs Young Democrats, said

When James K. Polk visited UNC in 1847, students camped out in anticipation of his arrival. Nearly two centuries later, students pitched tents again hoping to hear Barack Obama, the nations 44th president, speak. Campus visits from a sitting U.S. president are rare occurrences Obama will be the sixth president to do so at UNC. Retired professor William Leuchtenburgs 1994 work, The Presidents Come to Chapel Hill, details each event.

Non-discrimination task force nalizes plan

Members hope to alter the policy so groups can outline core beliefs.
By Emily Overcarsh
Staff Writer

With just days before its selfimposed deadline, the group charged with examining UNCs non-discrimination policy is closing in on a recommendation to alter the policy, not replace it. The non-discrimination policy task force, composed of administration, faculty and students, will have its final meeting this Friday to solidify its recommendations

to Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Winston Crisp. Crisp will then review its work and decide what changes he wants to make, if any. The task force was created in response to the controversial decision of the a cappella group Psalm 100 to expel senior Will Thomason, who is gay, for his views on homosexuality. Under the current policy, groups are allowed to discriminate based on beliefs but not a set of personal characteristics. The decision to clear Psalm 100 after a University investigation sparked complaints about the ambiguity of the policy. After reviewing policies at peer universities, the task force is

We dont want to say if you dont let everyone in, then you have to leave.
Cameron Parker,
Undergraduate member, non-discrimination policy task force

not planning on recommending a policy that would ban student groups from any form of discrimination in choosing members, said task force co-chairwoman Bettina Shuford, associate vice chancellor for student affairs. We dont want to say if you dont let everyone in, then you have to leave, said Cameron Parker, an undergraduate member of the task force. Instead, the task force is look-

ing to simply alter the policy to create a clearer procedure for outlining an organizations core beliefs and values. That would be the thing they would regulate membership on, Parker said. It would make it more transparent. Were basically adjusting or tweaking the current policy we have so we can better understand what a groups core beliefs are, said Tony Patterson, senior associ-

ate director of the Carolina Union. Undergraduate member Jagir Patel said there are several different ways the University can clarify its policy, but this option is a favorite among group members. I think any policy that has mechanisms where students are aware of their membership rights is really strong, Patel said. Patterson said one option might be to separate groups into different categories, asking for a more explicit outline of beliefs for religious and political groups. We dont want anything thats too arduous on groups where this may not be an issue, he said. Chairman of UNC College Republicans Garrett Jacobs said

he doesnt think the change will affect the group. I can definitely see it affecting some other groups, but since we are the College Republicans I think its already pretty clear where we stand, he said. Josh Orol, co-president of Hillel, said he doesnt see Hillel being affected, either. Were a Jewish organization, and we let people know that, he said. We dont actually have members. Were just happy to accept anyone whos interested in coming. Contact the University Editor at university@dailytarheel.com.

UNC drops third straight aCC title

By Jonathan LaMantia
Staff Writer

INSIDE: See page 8 for more on Marylands control of possession in the title game.
this month made her a priority on Monday. Shes somebody whos going to come out and go hard, Reese said. We wanted to step up and play better one-on-one offense on her. UNC found opportunities with other scoring options as Jessica Griffin scored on a free-position shot with 6:10 left in the first half to reduce Marylands lead to 3-2. But the Terrapins responded with a goal 14 seconds later, and one more just a minute after that. In the second half, UNC matched the Terrapins goal for goal. But building off its early lead, Maryland leaned comfortably on a four- or five-goal lead for most of the period. Junior Emily Garrity provided a spark, scoring two more goals during a 4-0 run late in the second half, but with the lead down to three, the Terrapins turned to stall tactics to keep the ball in the Tar Heels defensive end. Even when they had open looks, the Terrapins held possession, scoring one last goal to cap the game at 14-10. Maryland now leads the all-time series against the Tar Heels 19-10. The Tar Heels are 1-6 all-time in the ACC championship. Lynch said the team will focus on improving after the frustrating loss, as it looks ahead to the NCAA tournament. If you didnt have that dynamic off of a loss, it would be really tough and you wouldnt be able to try to learn and improve with every day, she said. Contact the Sports Editor at sports@dailytarheel.com.

North Carolina attacker Becky Lynch looks up the field for a potential pass. Lynch scored two goals and tallied one assist in UNCs 14-10 loss Monday.

On April 7 in Chapel Hill, junior midfielder Kara Cannizzaro tormented Maryland, scoring five goals in a 14-11 victory against the Terrapins. But Monday in the ACC championship game, it was the Terrapins who did the tormenting, as they passed the ball around the Tar Heels at will, stalling for three minutes before they scored a final goal to clinch a 14-10 win their third straight championship win against the Tar Heels. Maryland wasted no time getting on the scoreboard, as Karri Ellen Johnson scored for the Terrapins just 42 seconds into the game. But Becky Lynch said the Tar Heels didnt let that early deficit take them out of it.. When they score in the first minute, its always kind of tough, but then you have to look at the clock and realize that you still have an entire game, Lynch said. I dont think that the person that scores first necessarily has an advantage. After a second Maryland goal, Lynch scooped up a ground ball and found the back of the net to narrow the Terrapins lead. The Terrapins would hold the lead throughout the first half, never letting the Tar Heels gain their confidence back, and Cannizzaro couldnt find a hole in the defense. UNC took 25 shots in the game, only 14 of which were on goal. They doubled her early today. We anticipated that they would do that, coach Jenny Levy said. We moved the ball the way we normally do, and we just didnt get the opportunities that we were looking for. Maryland coach Cathy Reese said the five goals Cannizzaro scored against them earlier

Students who had planned Monday to vote early on the second floor of Rams Head Dining Hall were stalled after voting officials said they had to retrieve more Democratic ballots from their car. Toward the end of the first day for early voting and registration, the D003 ballot one of the Chapel Hill Democratic tickets ran out at the oncampus precinct at around 4 p.m. But there were mixed opinions about how long it took to retrieve more of the ballots. James Weathers, chief judge of the voting precinct, said the ballots were missing for 10 minutes at most. There were problems with parking, but the ballots were in the vicinity, he said. We had them out there in the car. We get our ballots from the district, Weathers said. We went and grabbed 500 of (every type of ballot). Students, however, said they experienced the lull differently. They said it would be about five minutes, but it ended up being 20 or 25 minutes, said Eden Sipperly, a freshman environmental sciences major. I went in around 5 p.m., and there were around 20 people loitering, she said. Other students didnt get the chance to vote at all, said a few N.C. Amendment One opponents. Some guy said he tried four times to go up there and vote, said Ian OKeefe, a campus organizer for the Coalition to Protect N.C. Families. They said about 50 people left, he said. People came out and told me that they didnt have ballots available. Nonetheless, voter turnout remained high. And at around 5:30 p.m., more than 550 people had voted on the first day. We hope to do 500 people every day, Weathers said, adding that he didnt expect the turnout to be as large as it was. OKeefe said that students broke from the status quo by showing up at the polls. We made Orange County run out of ballots. They will be prepared, OKeefe said. Many students said they came out to vote because of Amendment One, the proposed constitutional ban of gay marriage. I voted because I care about my friends and I care about my state, said Jordan Imbrey, a sophomore communications major. Contact the State & National Editor at state@dailytarheel.com.

Larry Fedora meeting with Greek houses

The football coach says he hopes to drum up support and increase attendance.
By Megan Cassella
Staff Writer

Head football coach Larry Fedora is going Greek. In an effort to increase enthusiasm for the football program, Fedora has been spending time with a number of student groups most recently via dinners at different houses in the Greek community. Fedora, who was announced as the next head coach in December, said the meals are part of a larger effort to increase attendance at the football games. Were talking about seven Saturdays out of the entire year,

Fedora said. Seven opportunities to come out and watch Tar Heel football in Kenan Stadium and to get there early, and be loud, and have fun, and stay late and make an entire day of it. There are only seven opportunities, and we need to take advantage of it. It should not be hard to fill that stadium seven times. John Childress president of Chi Phi fraternity, which hosted one of Fedoras dinners last week said Fedora talked about raising enthusiasm for the program. The first thing he asked us was to name some of the big-time college stadiums that wed been to and had enjoyed watching games at, Childress said. And then he said, Thats what I want the game day spirit to be like in Chapel Hill for the next couple years, and Im going to need your help. Im

going to need help from every student to make that happen. Fedora first began to reach out to the Greek organizations at a meeting with leaders about a month ago, said Jack Partain, president of the Interfraternity Council. He really wanted to know what would get the Greek population more involved in the game day experience, Partain said. We got a lot of good ideas out on the table. Some of those ideas included having night games and allowing fraternities to reserve block seating, Partain said. Childress said he thinks the tailgating atmosphere makes it difficult for Greek members to get to games on time. Everyone really enjoys tailgating and hanging out with friends on a nice, warm Saturday afternoon, Childress said.

Obviously when girls trickle into the house on their way to the game, the guys are going to sit on the couch and talk to them for awhile, because the girls are not as interested in getting to the game on time, Childress said. Fedora said he has met with 70 to 75 student groups to talk about what students want to see at football games and hes not done. Its very obvious every time I go and talk to these people, from the questions they ask and just the positive vibes that come out of the meeting, that theres a great sense of excitement, he said. Because thats part of the college experience: going to football games and having a great time and creating some unbelievable memories youll have for the rest of your life.

Obama receives boost from improving outlook in Europe
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) From the day he entered the White House, the biggest threat to Barack Obamas chances of becoming a two-term president has been the battered state of the U.S. economy. There have been new signs of trouble this spring: slower job growth, higher gasoline prices and fresh fears over the European debt crisis. Yet Obamas prospects on the economic front may be brighter than they now look. This past weekend brought encouraging signs that Europe is ready to take stronger action to confront its still-serious debt problems. During the spring meeting of the International Monetary Fund, which concluded Sunday, member nations pledged to nearly double the funds available to the globes emergency lender to address future crises. Top finance officials from the U.S. and other world powers who attended IMF and World Bank meetings in Washington last week agreed that the outlook for Europe has improved. The European Central Bank late last year lowered rates and flooded the continents financial system with cheap credit. Europes debt crisis during the last few years has been a major obstacle to the U.S. recovery, frequently jolting financial markets and undermining confidence in the global economy. American businesses send hundreds of billions of dollars in exports to Europe every year and have more than $1 trillion in direct investments in the continent. The Obama administration has been so concerned about the threat from Europe that it established a sort of war room in the basement of the Treasury building, with dozens of analysts and economists monitoring developments around the clock. The European Central Bank has lent more than $1.3 trillion to banks in the region to help stabilize it. Yet many experts now see smaller odds that Europes debt problems will deliver big shocks to markets or other dramatic developments at least in the near term. The former senator from North Carolina has pleaded not guilty to six criminal counts related to campaign finance violations. Prosecutors contend that bills paid by two Edwards benefactors were unreported campaign contributions designed to cover up Edwards affair with campaign videographer Rielle Hunter, which went on even as Edwards wife was battling cancer. While the defense has argued that the money from Edwards benefactors should be considered gifts rather than campaign contributions, the prosecution says it was campaign money intended to protect Edwards presidential ambitions. the latest to fall in Europe because of the continents stubborn debt crisis, which appears to be flaring up again after a temporary lull. Prime Minister Mark Rutte and his Cabinet resigned en masse Monday after they failed to clinch a deal with other parties over austerity cuts to reduce the Netherlands budget deficit. It was an embarrassing development for the Dutch, who have repeatedly lectured Southern European nations on the need to rein in public spending but now cant agree on such a plan themselves. It also helped fuel a day of heavy losses in stock markets across Europe, with investors unsettled by weak manufacturing data in Germany, confirmation of a return to recession in Spain and an uncertain presidential election result in France.

Contrasting viewpoints emerge in John Edwards trial

GREENSBORO, N.C. (MCT) Two portraits of John Edwards emerged in opening arguments at the trial of the disgraced politician, who is accused of breaking campaign finance laws by accepting more than $900,000 in illegal contributions to help conceal an extramarital affair during his 2008 bid for president. The prosecution on Monday portrayed Edwards as a liar and a deceiver who went to great lengths to cover up his affair in order to protect his campaign image as a family man. The defense portrayed him as a man who committed a sin a sin Edwards acknowledges but did not break the law.

Student debt
Obamas visit to UNC-CH is part of a nationwide push to extend legislation that cut interest rates for student loans in half, but that will expire in July. Some say the lower rates are a short-term solution for a long-term problem as more and more students borrow money to pay for college.

With tuition rising at institutions around the country and in the UNC system, more students are looking to loans, said Steven Brooks, executive director for the N.C. State Education Assistance Authority. Loans are necessary, he said. The cheaper, the better. Shirley Ort, UNCs associate provost for scholarships and student aid, said she supports the rate extension, but she doesnt know that the measure is sustainable in the long term. The legislation lowering rates, the 2007 College Cost Reduction and Access Act, passed with large bipartisan support five years ago. In the U.S. House of Representatives, 77 Republicans voted for the law, and most of them were re-elected. But extending the existing law has proved more controversial, partly because of its cost estimated at about $6 billion a year, according to the Congressional Budget Office. The president is trying to go around Congress and go to voters to see if he can develop some sort of pushback pressure on Congress, said Ferrel Guillory, a UNC journalism professor and expert on Southern politics. And the chosen college campuses, all in swing states, could provide an added bonus in November. Young voters were a strong base for Obama in 2008, so some critics are saying the timing of the laws expiration was a political move to boost youth support. The issue also fits the image Obama has tried to project as a force of progress being stalled by the Republican Congress, Guillory said. Itll be good for the campaign, but there is also a substantive issue here, he said. Also a point of contention is the source of the funding for the extension, which the Obama administration has not announced. It could come from a tax pro-

man on the street: barack obamas visit

I feel like any time you have an active president on campus and you have an opportunity to go see him, you kind of have to do it. Its a life experience or something you can tell your kids about. Im not a huge supporter of him personally, but I am definitely in favor of UNC just getting famous politicians because I think its important to have a wide range of opinions shared on campus. I think its a good thing that hes coming because its important to get his message out to college students, because people our age really need to vote were always underrepresented. I actually have tickets to go tomorrow. I stood out in line yesterday for three hours so Im really, really excited to hear him speak and actually have a chance to see a president in person.

posal, an unpopular point for Republicans, or possibly from other Pell programs, which has raised concern among some expected supporters. The low rate only applies to subsidized Stafford loans, used mainly by middle-class students, while nonsubsidized loans for lowerincome students are not affected by the legislation either way. The UNC system will not form a position on the issue until they know how it will be funded and how it will affect other students

loans or grants, said Karen Regan, interim director for UNCs Office of Federal Affairs. We want our graduates to have as little debt as possible especially when student borrowing is at an all-time high, Regan said. The interest rate reduction is one way to accomplish this, but wed never want to take action at the expense of other higher education financial aid programs.

nity to get the ball on offense and for them to hold it for a little bit. And in a game that doesnt allow checking with the body or the stick, smart teams can hold onto the ball for long periods of time. Where Maryland kept the ball close, the Tar Heels allowed it to stray too freely from their sticks. The Tar Heels committed nine turnovers to Marylands five, and only 14 of their 25 shots were on frame. Those miscues, along with draw concessions, allowed the well-organized Maryland offense ample control of the ball. In UNCs 14-11 defeat of Maryland on April 7, play in the center circle nearly cost the Tar Heels when in the second half, a long string of conceded draws

allowed the Terrapins to narrow a six-goal lead to just two. On Monday, in a reversal of roles from the teams previous meeting, UNC cut into a seven-goal lead in the second half to make the score 13-10 with 5:41 to play. Four unanswered goals were made possible by a more aggressive battle for possession from UNC. Maryland, realizing the threat, reacted accordingly. When the pressure gets tough, we want to make sure we dont turn it over, Maryland coach Cathy Reese said. With them coming off four goals, we wanted to make sure we didnt get it back in their hands.

Q&A with playwright Nonprot uses clicks to choose best candidate Patrick Link
North Carolina voters will have the option to elect an alternative candidate outside the traditional two-party race on the May 8 primary ballot. Americans Elect, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization, began efforts to get on the ballot in 2010 and launched its website in 2011 for delegate participation.

lems solved. Buddy Roemer, who pulled out of the Republican Party race and decided to run as an independent candidate, is in first place. His campaign manager, Carlos Sierra, said Roemers decision to drop out was due to the lobbyist culture inherent in the political structure. He decided to run for the GOP one-and-a-half years ago and made a personal rule of no contributions of over $100 and no lobby money, he said. He was discriminated against, despite his experience and being the only guy who was a former (Louisiana) governor. Although Roemer is currently leading the nonpartisan race, he only has about 3,700 online votes, short of the required 10,000. But Americans Elect remain confident their candidates can reach this number by May 8. People click closer to the deadline, and were seeing momentum, Wachtel said. Luke Shuffield, a Duke University student and an Americans Elect spokesman, said he thinks college voters can help

bring Americans Elect to the ballot. Young people are a very important demographic to voting. Were often the most passionate and active demographic, he said. Laurence Kotlikoff, an economics professor at Boston University who is in third place for the Americans Elect candidacy, said the current state of politics motivated him to run. The economy is not functioning, we have people out of work, the health care system is driving us broke and leaving people without a plan, he said. You look at these major areas and its one failure after another. Ferrel Guillory, a UNC journalism professor and political expert, said while an organization like Americans Elect offers frustrated individuals a voice, it might be difficult to get elected, despite its innovative ways of attracting voters. Americans Elect are using the virtual, social media to organize people, which will be a fascinating experiment in political organization, he said.

Obama, and the cost of college

lETTErS TO THE EDiTOr

Martins case demands attention and respect
TO THE EDITOR: The members of the Carolina Black Caucus express our concern for the lack of understanding of the collective hurt felt by many in the black community in response to the killing of Trayvon Martin. This tragic incident has garnered the attention of the world. The UNC community has drawn national attention due to an insensitive Daily Tar Heel editorial cartoon on March 28 that drew the ire of many black alumni, faculty, staff and students. Most Americans are emotional regarding the topic, which lends itself to passionate and uncomfortable dialogue. Our enlightened academic village should be respectful of a community that has historically been the victim of bigotry and bias. The wheels of justice appear to turn very slowly in the Martin case, which lends itself to gossip, fear mongering, untruths and racist commentary. However, we are encouraged by the recent arrest of the shooter, George Zimmerman. It is our hope that justice will prevail and the disturbing actions by the Sanford police department will be made clear. In solidarity, we implore the Carolina community to be more thoughtful and considerate of its portrayal and summary of this tragedy. The racial bias that accelerated Zimmermans actions must be identified, explored and understood to move America forward in its quest for true freedom and equal opportunity for its citizens. The denial of the hatred, profiling and racism exposed through this killing only serves to keep America from being its best at a time when we can least afford to be unified around individual rights. All Americans, regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation or gender identity, must be able to walk the streets of Chapel Hill and beyond without fear for their safety. Dr. Deborah Stroman Chairwoman, Carolina Black Caucus We are concerned that passage of the amendment would negatively affect our population of nontraditional undergraduates, who often begin their college coursework elsewhere. Approximately 180 of these older students transferred to UNC this fall alone, and many have families who may be aided by our towns inclusive benefit policies. We believe that these benefits both increase the diversity and quality of incoming transfer classes and ease the college experience for unmarried students with families. We see the potential alteration of these policies as a loss to our University and transfer community. To all transfers: Do keep in mind ours and the many other concerns regarding Amendment One in this primary. You are all eligible to vote, and polls are now open at Rams Head Dining Hall. Please do not underestimate the extent to which your 2,000 voices are needed by your school and state. Jacob Lusk 12 Anthropology President, Tar Heel Transfers

f only President Barack Obama were here today to talk about a real solution to the cost of a college education. I dont mean to suggest that the interest rate on student loans isnt a big deal its huge. If the interest rate on federal loans doubles (to 6.8 percent), it will cost 7.4 million students $1,000 per year. But as a problem for young people and rest of the country, its just a tiny part of much bigger issues: the soaring cost of college and the challenges faced by graduates entering the labor market. One can certainly understand the focus on the loan rate subsidy, since its clear and achievable. It would cost $6 billion the equivalent of two new attack submarines (the U.S. is building 30 of them), or just less than one quarter of the projected $25 billion profit from the 2008 bank bailout. If Congress can agree, then the problem is solved, for another year at least. But while better than nothing, its no more than a Band-Aid to the seemingly inexorable rise in the cost of college. In the past decade, tuition and fees grew at a rate of 5.6 percent more than that of inflation at public universities and 2.6 percent more than inflation at private universities. To put that into perspective, college costs are growing even faster than health care costs, and its been that way since the 1980s. So student debt is at an all-time high: Seniors who graduated in 2010 had just over $25,000 in debt on average; at more than $1 trillion, total student loan debt is greater than total credit card debt. But the cost increases arent translating into an education of greater value to graduates. Lifetime statistics may suggest that a college education offers an earnings premium of hundreds of thousands of dollars, but try telling that to the more than half of all graduates under the age of 25 who either are unemployed or work in jobs that dont require a degree. UNC students are fortunate that many of these challenges hardly apply to them: As a top research university with an average graduate debt of just $15,472, a UNC education would remain a worthwhile investment even at increased cost. But if the cost of college continues to rise, and college attendance remains the primary hope for success, more and more Americans will end up with a huge debt burden to attain a degree with no guarantees of its value. So thats the real challenge for the president: how to arrest educational inflation, not merely ease the burden through loan subsidies. The college cost strategy Obama announced in January had some good ideas, like tieing federal aid to affordability. But it also relied on some unlikely premises, like a $1 billion Race to the Top competition effectively incentivizing states to reform higher education, when they can collectively get far more by raising tuition. (Last years increase by the University of California system alone raised $200 million.) For the president in an election year, it may seem like a good bet to focus on the short-term issue of loan subsidies. But what America needs is a broader and more sustained focus on the real issues behind college affordability for todays students, and those of the future.

Clothing with a conscience

EDiTOriAl

Student Stores should heed students calls for living wage apparel.

ew UNC students would intentionally support sweatshops. Unfortunately, many do so unknowingly when they patronize UNC Student Stores. For the past two years, however, various student groups have been calling on Student Stores to source from an apparel company that provides living wages and humane worker conditions known as living wage apparel. These students have finally secured a meeting with Student Stores supply department manager Dawn Colclough, which will take place today. Colclough and Student Stores other managers should give legitimate consideration to these students requests, which are specific, quantifiable and reasonable. The majority of the apparel sold in Student Stores is sourced by Nike, a company known for sweatshop-like working conditions and worker compensation that doesnt amount to a living wage. Living wage apparel isnt the

norm in the college gear industry, but it is available. Moreover, there are companies that can produce living wage apparel at the same price as their mainstream competitors. One such company, Alta Gracia, sells T-shirts, sweatshirts and the like at prices nearly identical to its Nike counterparts. (If it sounds too good to be true, it isnt; Alta Gracia sustains this model by basically deducting the costs of paying a living wage from the salaries of its management.) A coalition of more than 30 student organizations including the Campus Y, the Residence Hall Association Board of Governors, Nourish International and UNC Young Democrats is behind this push for living wage apparel. Their impassioned pleas should be more than enough to get the attention of the decision makers at Student Stores. But if Student Stores managers need more convincing, they neednt look any further than our rival down the road in Durham. Whereas UNCs Alta Gracia inventory is minimal, Duke Universitys is substantial. Moreover, Duke displays Alta Gracia advertisements in

prominent locations at its student store, drawing attention to the brands social responsibility. In less than a year, Duke has sold more than $500,000 worth of Alta Gracia products. At UNC, on the other hand, our paltry inventory is accompanied by even weaker publicity. Student Stores could have more success in selling these items if it more effectively advertised that the products are living wage and ethically produced. (Alta Gracia provides large signs to its carriers.) Lack of awareness about living wage products is the greatest barrier to the success of the brand. The UNC student body prides itself on its commitment to social justice. And as a member institution of the Worker Rights Consortium, UNC has an institutional responsibility to uphold the consortiums code of conduct. Sourcing from Alta Gracia or another company with similarly high working condition standards would fulfill this responsibility. Student Stores is, after all, there for students; it should do what it can to align its practices with students concerns, especially such serious ones as workers rights.

Im a Rape-Free Zone, and I am not misguided

TO THE EDITOR: After reading this weeks letter to the editor in the DTH about how the RapeFree Zone T-shirts send a misguided message, I decided that I might have to reply to the contrary. Taking some wording from the Project Dinah Facebook events page, a Rape-Free Zone is a community effort to demand an end to sexual violence. On that note, it is not the individual donning the T-shirt that makes up the Zone; it is the collection of people, a mix of survivors and allies, who sport their neon green shirts to make a bold statement that there are many people in our community who are committed to creating a safer environment. Furthermore, the pledge on the back of the shirt is not superfluous because rape is a crime of control, power, and inequity, and one that many individuals shape their daily behaviors around out of the fear of becoming victims. Taking a stand against sexual violence, as the pledge states, is directly connected to beginning the real practice of equality and freedom. If a group of male students on this campus took the phrase on the shirts lightly enough to joke, Oh darn, we cant rape her. Shes a rapefree zone, then it is clear that we have a real need for members of our community to start speaking out. The Rape-Free Zone T-shirts speak to all peers, survivors, allies and perpetrators: here at UNC, we are taking a stand, and our message will not be silenced, or misguided.

Say no to Amendment One

f nothing else, I hope the readers of The Daily Tar Heel come away from this semester with an appreciation for the harm Amendment One would do to the state, the University and the people of North Carolina. During my tenure, Ive read more letters to the editor about this issue than I can count, and the arguments against the amendment run the gamut from libertarian to liberal, pragmatic to empathetic, fiscal to emotional. And in a funny way, the amendment is a bipartisan issue, at least for UNC students. Regardless of our political leanings, well all suffer if this amendment passes. Heres why: If North Carolinas voters approve this law, it will send a message to the rest of the country that we are a backward, anti-progressive state. This will hurt UNCs ability to recruit top faculty and students, regardless of whether they identify as LGBTQ. In terms of bringing smart people to North Carolina, the problems with Amendment One are questions more of ethos than of concrete consequences. In order to maintain our excellent university, we need to foster an open intellectual culture; the thinking behind Amendment One could hardly be more closed-minded. If youre a student at UNC, you have a stake in preserving this universitys quality, regardless of your views on gay rights. The value of your degree now and in 20 years depends on it. The other reasons to vote against Amendment One are too numerous to list here. But Id like to highlight a few which I believe are under-publicized and would be compelling to all vot-

ers, including those opposed to gay marriage. (Though I believe gay marriage should be legalized, I also think there are good reasons someone who would oppose it should still vote against Amendment One.) The first of these reasons is basically semantic. Thanks to its sloppy wording and vague language, Amendment One would precipitate a deluge of costly litigation if passed. Given North Carolinas rather dire budgetary situation, it seems imprudent no, reckless to pass such an amendment without fully considering its consequences, intended and unintended. The states courts would invariably be inundated with cases that hinge on how judges choose to interpret the prescription that Marriage between one man and one woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this State. If the intention of this amendment however misguided is to ban any union that resembles gay marriage, its authors have missed the mark. If, on the other hand, its authors aimed to ban all civil unions, then the wording is sound. But thats not how

Amendment One is being advertised to would-be supporters. Other pernicious potential consequences include the amendments implications for victims of domestic abuse. Currently, women can seek protection from abusive spouses even if they arent married to their abuser. Depending on how it is interpreted in the courts, Amendment One could nullify these protections. To put it another way, the amendment could effectively force a woman to marry an abusive spouse before being entitled to protections against him. This is obviously ludicrous. Again, lengthy litigation would likely ensue, and vulnerable women would be left in uncertainty while the battle played out in the courts. Though presumably unintentional, this dangerous potential repercussion indicates a troubling disregard for womens rights a disregard which all too often goes hand-inhand with anti-LGBTQ politics. If you dont plan to vote against Amendment One, I urge you to reconsider. This amendment will have consequences for all of us, Democrat or Republican, gay or straight, student or professor. And according to recent polls, the numbers arent looking good. But UNC students all 26,000 of us could make a difference. We might even be able to tip the scale. A crowd of some 8,000 of us will turn out to hear President Obama speak today. This enthusiasm is impressive, but engagement is more impressive. Go vote.

Transfer students, make your 2,000 voices heard

TO THE EDITOR: Carolinas population of transfer students is one of the most diverse groups on campus, made up of students from many areas, ages and family statuses. They face many unique challenges, and unfortunately, this discourages many from fully immersing themselves in university and state issues. The executive board for Tar Heel Transfers, Carolinas organization for transfer students, is highly committed to increasing their access to events and advocate for their interests. We therefore wish to remind all transfer students, in- and out-of-state, to participate in the North Carolina primary, particularly in light of Amendment One.
