Weather delay
doesnt subdue
rivalry hype
By Brooke Pryor
Senior Writer
The time to dwell on what might
have been is over.
There wont be nearly 22,000 stu-
dents ringing the Smith Center court
or an epic battle between the Tobacco
Road boys in blue as a ferocious win-
ter storm rages outside.
Instead, eight days after originally
scheduled, Dukes bus will finally pull
up in front of the Smith Center to
unload the No. 5 Blue Devils for their
first date of the season with North
Carolina.
But the delay the first in the
236-game rivalry didnt deflate the
Tar Heels.
You dont have to psych yourself up,
if you do then youre not breathing,
coach Roy Williams said. I feel like the
dickens, but I do feel like Im alive.
The frustrating thing is that you
go through all the junk on the game
day and the stress and everything,
and then you dont get to play, so
youve got to do it twice for one game.
Thats not fair. They did it last week,
and they ll do it again (today).
In the time between the original
and makeup date, each team picked
up two more wins, and UNC (18-7, 8-4
ACC) owns a seven-game win streak.
Weve played two more games so
that part has helped our confidence,

Town prepares for possibility of UNC win
By Anna Long
Staff Writer
As a UNC fan, Chapel Hill police
Lt. Joshua Mecimore is hoping the
Tar Heels will win tonight.
But as a police officer, his job will
be a lot more hectic if they do.
Historically, thousands of stu-
dents rush onto Franklin Street after
big rivalry wins.
Mecimore, a spokesman for the
Chapel Hill Police Department, said
hes thankful the town has practice
responding to people rushing Franklin
Street, and he expects everything to go
smoothly should UNC win during the
mens basketball game against Duke
University tonight.
The vast majority of the time,
students are happy, theyre excited,
so we typically dont have a whole lot
of problems because of that, he said.
Mecimore said more police
officers will be on duty as a precau-
tionary measure the standard
procedure for the rivalry matchup
each year. In the event of a UNC
win, police will do their best to keep
people from impeding traffic but are
prepared to close Franklin Street to
incoming cars if they are not able to
keep people out of the streets.
Chapel Hill Mayor Mark
Kleinschmidt said he prepares an
emergency proclamation before big
games like this to make sure the cel-
ebration is safe.
The proclamation allows town
officials to do things they normally
wouldnt have the power to do, like
confiscate blue paint or pointy objects
that could be used as weapons.
Traditionally, fans start bonfires,
which are illegal in Chapel Hill, on
Franklin Street to celebrate a UNC
win over Duke.
Its usually more dangerous to try
to get in there and put a stop to the
fires, so we are more concerned with
making sure everyone is safe and no
one gets burned, Kleinschmidt said.
Businesses on Franklin Street are
also gearing up for the game. Katie
Hampton, a floor manager at Top
of the Hill, said the restaurant will
clear the dining room at 8:15 p.m. to
accommodate the maximum num-
ber of people.
People wishing to watch the game
at Top of the Hill will have to get
tickets, which will be distributed
beginning at 5 p.m. at the restau-
rant. Tickets are free but are used
to guarantee seats to view the game,
Hampton said.
If UNC wins, we have to push all
the furniture against the wall so peo-
ple can come up and view Franklin
Street, which is a great joy, she said.
Drew Hansel, general manager
at Spankys Restaurant and Bar,
said the restaurant will operate as
it does on any other night but he
is expecting to see three times the
usual number of customers.
To accommodate the increased
traffic, Hansel said he is reschedul-
ing deliveries to the restaurant to
ensure they have enough product
to last the duration of the night. He
will also have a doorman, which he
does not usually need.
We ll play it by ear, but every-
ones just going to work a lot harder
that night than we typically do and
thats what were here to do, he said.
But as much extra work as the
game creates, town officials and busi-
ness owners alike are rooting for a

Board of Governors
will decide tuition
By Sharon Nunn
Staff Writer
The fate of out-of-state students
tuition for next year will be on the
boardroom table today and Friday.
The UNC-system Board of Governors
will meet today in committee meetings
and all together on Friday to vote for
tuition and fee increases for next year.
Out-of-state students are facing a
tuition increase at most system schools
12.3 percent at UNC-CH. The board
will vote on whether it wants to ask the
N.C. General Assembly to repeal the
tuition hike mandate.
During the summer, the legislature
bypassed the boards standard process of
finalizing tuition decisions after review-
ing campus requests and mandated the
tuition increase for the system.
Repealing that decision would
require a legislative change in the short
session, which starts in May.
In August, system President Tom
Ross had recommended a tuition freeze
for in-state students. The board is
expected to support that Friday.
No scheduled student protests of
the out-of-state tuition hikes have been
advertised.
Robert Nunnery, UNC-system
Association of Student Governments
president, and Andrew Powell, UNC-
CH student body president-elect, said
they have not heard of any protests.
Out-of-state tuition is on the agenda
and in-state students make up the bulk
of the student population, Nunnery
said. That explains why there isnt
more of an outcry.
A system-wide tuition and fees
increase of about 8.8 percent in 2012
brought about 200 students and Chapel
Hill occupiers to the boards meeting
in protest. The large crowd blocked off
traffic in a march down Raleigh Road.
The boards Friday meeting and vote
will take place on the campus of SAS, a
software company in Cary. Board meet-
ings are usually held at the Spangler
Center in Chapel Hill, and the board
will meet in committees there today.
The meeting location was changed
Out-of-state students
are facing a 12.3 percent
increase at UNC-CH.
The police will have more
officers on duty as a
precautionary measure.
Turnout contrasts apathy trend
By Carolyn Ebeling
Staff Writer
With almost 3,000 more vot-
ers participating in the runoff
election this year than in 2013,
student leaders are wondering
what triggered the increase.
In previous years, UNC stu-
dent body president elections
have suffered from scattered
cases of voter apathy, with just
5,488 not even 30 percent of
the undergraduate body vot-
ing in last years general election
for example.
Tuesday nights runoff elec-
tion, however, garnered more
than 7,000 votes, which is the
most votes in either a runoff
or general election since Mary
Cooper was elected in 2011.
UNC Board of Elections
Chairman Robert Windsor
said he thinks the candidates
Emilio Vicente and Andrew
Powell played a major role in
this seasons voting success.
I want to say that (voting suc-
cess) was because the candidates
really pulled the issues to the fore-
front, he said in an interview.
He said debates and platforms
swirling around solutions for
sexual assault, tuition and other
pressing topics played a large
role in the turnout.
This year, Vicente received 41
percent of the vote in the general
election but one week later,
Powell received 62.9 percent of
the vote.
And with that, more than
2,000 people voted in the runoff
election compared to the general
election.
But while UNC had its strug-
gles with voter apathy, so have
many other North Carolina pub-
lic institutions.
At East Carolina University,
about 17 percent of students
voted in last years election a
number that Tim Schwan, stu-
dent body president, wants to
increase.
N.C. State, which has an under-
graduate population of 24,536
students, had 4,056 participate in
its general elections last year.
We usually average about 10
percent of students voting in the
elections, said Simran Mann,
chairwoman of the board of elec-
More than 7,000 voted
in this years student
body president runoff.
cause for celebration in town tonight
and later in the NCAA Tournament.
We ll just have to see if (March
Madness) is an issue this year,
Mecimore said.
As a Carolina fan, Id like us to go
far, but thats not the police depart-
ments view on it, just mine.

We have almost 18,000 stu-
dents, so thats not a great num-
ber 17,000 is a great number,
she said.
Windsor said he noticed social
media presence during UNCs
election was surprisingly large.
They used things like
Thunderclap and Facebook
events and hashtags, he said.

UNC ties its school record with 24 goals

Twenty-five seconds.
That is how long it took for the
North Carolina womens lacrosse
team to find the net against Canisius
on Wednesday. And more than a
minute later, the team zoomed down
the field to score its second goal.
The rout was on, and the Golden
Griffins did little to stop the bleed-
ing in North Carolinas convincing
24-6 victory.
Through the first three games of
the season, UNC has proven to be an
offensive powerhouse.
The Tar Heels have averaged
20.6 goals per game and their latest
total, 24, tied the school record.
Nine of those goals were scored
in the first 10 minutes.
Going into the game, freshman
Carly Reed had two goals on the
season. Against Canisius, the fresh-
man led the team with five goals
four of which came in the first half.
Reed said that she enjoys playing
on a team with reliable offensive
players.

mance, she knows her primary role

Workers for the second phase of construction in the 300 East Main St. develop-
ment in Carrboro began aboveground work last weekend.
By Rachel Herzog
Staff Writer
It can run, but it cant hide.
The second phase of Main Street
Properties redevelopment of the 300
East Main property is taking fast
strides forward with aboveground
progress and continued community
support.
The second phase will house Fleet
Feet Sports corporate offices, allow-
ing the store, which was growing and
needed space to expand, to keep its
corporate headquarters in Carrboro.
The existing store at 300 E. Main
St. will move into this new building
as well.
The new buildings steel frames
were erected last weekend. Until
then, work on the projects second
phase has been below ground, with
December and Januarys heavy rains
extending the time it took for its
foundation work to be completed.
Now you can actually see it, said
Laura Van Sant, the propertys man-
ager.
The new building is located on the
west edge of the redevelopment center,
alongside Carrboros railroad tracks.
Work on the second phase of the
300 East Main redevelopment is
expected to finish in late October.
Van Sant said the communitys
response to the construction has been
generally positive.
Hopefully people are still enthu-
siastic that were still at it and con-
tinuing to put in more great shops,
restaurants and office space in
Carrboro, she said.
Kevin Benedict, a partner at Main
Street Properties who is involved in the
project, said the firm has worked hard
to gather public and community input.
Its been very nice to know that
folks are supportive, he said.
Construction on the second
phase of the development
will finish in October.
Michael Villopoto, owner of
Amante Gourmet Pizza said this
phase of redevelopment has not had a
large impact on the restaurant, which
is located in the center of the planned
redevelopment area.
The first phase of construction,
which included the Hampton Inn
& Suites as well as more retail and
restaurant space, did affect Amante
Pizza and other nearby businesses
by temporarily reducing the number
of available parking spaces during
construction, but Villopoto said they
have not had the same problem dur-
ing the second phase.
If anything, we might get some
construction workers for lunch, he
said.
But Villopoto expressed concern
about the projects third phase, which
calls for buildings directly in front of
the restaurants location, preventing
curbside visibility and potentially
prompting the business to move to a
new location.

Large piles of muddy snow
were noticeable on sidewalks in
Chapel Hill the past few days, but
the cleanup is mostly over.
Catherine Lazorko, town
spokeswoman, said more than 34
people from public works helped
with the towns cleanup process
since last weeks snowstorm.
Our first priority was our pri-
mary streets, including bus routes,
she said in an email. Once the
primaries had been plowed, crews
commenced plowing paved sec-
ondary streets and later checked
and plowed our last class of paved
town-maintained streets.
Chapel Hill police sent out
messages telling people to
retrieve their abandoned cars as
early as last Friday.
Lt. Josh Mecimore, spokes-
man for the Chapel Hill Police
Department, said there were an
estimated 32 crashes reported
between Wednesday and Friday.
Some of those are duplicates
and when five people are driv-
ing past, we will get a number of
calls, he said. We still have some
belated crash reports coming in.
He said there were approxi-
mately 25 crashes reported last
Wednesday.
We towed 10 vehicles, and that
is not counting crashed vehicles,
he said. That is between the driver
and their insurance company to
get their car towed. We towed the
ones that were left in the travel
lane and impeding plows or traffic.
After walking two miles in the
snow and using a Starbucks can
as a pickaxe to dig her car out of
the RR Lot, Holly Brown, a UNC
junior, traveled to Greensboro
last Thursday.
She said not many people were
on the road, but many cars were
pulled over.
It was scary, she said. My
entire way to Greensboro, there
were cars abandoned left and
right.
She said there were people try-
ing to rescue their cars, and she
saw a wreck on the side of the
road.
I would see people trying to
tow cars out because their cars
were trapped in from the snow
that got plowed, she said. I did
see one car leaving Chapel Hill
that had hit another car and hit a
median and was left there.
Susan Linn, library technical
assistant for the Health Sciences
Library, said she drove in the
snow late last Wednesday and
watched many people pull over.
We saw a lot of people off the
road and in ditches, she said.
We fishtailed some and left a
lot of room for the people in front
of us because the people that
were going so slow would get no
traction up the hill.
And then we got to watch them
get no traction up the hills and
have to go off the road.
Mecimore said he believes
the department responded to
the best of its ability with the
resources officers had.
We had a lot of officers out
there pushing cars, which is
something they are not required
to do, he said. They were just
trying to help people get home.

Protester heckles
Pit Preacher
By Danny Nett
Staff Writer
An unidentified man who
went head-to-head with the
controversial Pit Preacher Gary
Birdsong faced a warning from
the Department of Public Safetys
penal system Tuesday.
The shirtless individual
whose student status could not
be confirmed had a homosexu-
al slur painted on his chest and a
dildo sticking out of his pants. He
approached Birdsong and simu-
lated masturbation while waving
the sex toy at the preacher.
When someone reported the
incident to the Student Union,
the demonstrator was taken into
the Union. Student employees
stood with him until DPS arrived
to trespass him from campus.
I think normally we would
say, Okay, youre both going to
exercise your right to free speech,
until such time that somebody
seems to think something is out
of control, said Joe Singer, senior
associate director of events man-
agement at the Student Union.
Our office is supposed to be
content-neutral. Our role is to
provide the space to speak.
Posting on Facebook under
the name Unc DildoBoy, the
demonstrator stated his actions
were not made as an attack on
Birdsong or anti-gay sentiments,
but on a technologically driven,
post-industrial civilization. The
individual did not give a real
name to be interviewed.
While he refused to speak
on the record, he posted a let-
ter explaining his actions on the
Facebook page.
Because of the total penetra-
tion of mass media, humans on
YouTube or Facebook, or people
who are TV stars or politicians
are put in a situation we humans
are simply incapable of dealing
with, he wrote.
DPS spokesman Randy Young
said if a person on campus is
engaged in a situation or activity
that could be considered provoca-
tive, results in harm to anyone or
interferes with operations of the
University or another persons free
speech, DPS may get involved.
It is then at the discretion of the
responding officers whether the
disruptive individual is removed
from a specific area like the Pit or
from campus entirely, he said.
Cathy Packer, a professor who
specializes in media law, said
legally the Pit falls under what is
considered a dedicated or limited
forum. That means UNC, as a
public university, can limit the
forum for certain topics or speak-
ers as long as it does not favor
one viewpoint over another.
Packer said although she whole-
heartedly disagrees with what the
demonstrator did, she supports his
First Amendment rights. She said
his actions would not fall under
a judicial definition of obscenity,
but that it is irrelevant if he was
removed for trespassing.
My view about all of that is
that the reason people come to
Carolina is to see and hear things
they didnt hear at home, Packer
said.
You go to Carolina and see
some of what the rest of the
world looks like and all the opin-
ions other people have that your
parents didnt have.

on the team as a distributor.
Its so much fun, Reed said.
You can give the ball to anyone,
and theyre going to make a play.
Being a freshman, Im just supposed
to get them the ball and get out of
their way.
The Golden Griffins were unable
to suppress the aggressiveness of the
Tar Heels. North Carolina out-shot
Canisius 38-17, and in the first half,
the team scored 18 goals the most
in a half thus far this season.
Coach Jenny Levy said that the
team has been known for its defen-
sive talent but added that the teams
offense has been really strong as of
late.
The past couple of seasons, weve
been able to do a lot offensively,
Levy said.
Last year we started a little slow,
but weve been able to put up num-
bers. We havent but numbers up
like this in the past.
But Id like to still remain a
defensive juggernaut and then add
the offensive side as well.
Sophomore attacker Aly
Messinger scored four times against
Canisius, and she now has scored 11
goals this season second-most on
the team.
Messinger said the secret behind
this years offensive explosion is the
mixture of skill sets.
Were very different, Messinger
said.
Each one of us is so different
and so unique that if one style play
doesnt work, the other style works
another time.
It makes us very diverse and
helps us a lot.
Despite the huge victory, Levy
said that she does not want her
team to relax. Instead, she wants
the team to keep up its aggresive
play.
Each game is going to be a new
game for us and each opponent is
going to bring a different set of chal-
lenges for us to work through and
overcome, Levy said.
Were just trying to get better
every day. We have to continue to
push.

Staff Writer
Adam Versenyi arrived at
UNC in 1988 for a one-year
visiting appointment. Twenty-
five years later, hes now the
Universitys latest chairman
of the department of dramatic
art as of January.
Versenyi studied literature
in English and Spanish at Yale
College, and later dramaturgy
and dramatic criticism at the
Yale School of Drama. He was
the dramaturg for PlayMakers
Repertory Company in 1988
and was appointed to a regu-
lar tenure appointment the
next year. Hes been teaching
at UNC ever since.
Jeffrey Cornell, senior lec-
turer and department of dra-
matic art associate chairman,
said Versenyi was a very logi-
cal choice for the position.
(Versenyi) knows about
publishing, he knows about
fundraising, he knows about
working with people and he
knows about making theater
happen, Cornell said.
As an undergraduate,
Versenyi did not immediately
become involved in theater.
I studied Latin American
fiction and prose, and spent
time studying Spanish in
Mexico, he said.
But it wasnt until his first
year at Yale School of Drama
as a graduate student that he
became interested in Latin
American theater.
While at Yale, Versenyi had
the opportunity to translate
two Spanish plays which were
being featured in the Center
for Inter-American Relations
festival in New York City.
I fell in love with them,
translated them, and then
started to work on Latin
American theater, he said.
Versenyi spent time in
Colombia as a Fulbright
scholar, teaching at
Universidad de Caldas in
Manizales, Colombia, where
he worked on a play with
the graduate students in the
school of fine arts.
Versenyi said is fortunate
to have had his international
and intercultural experiences.
The many years that
Versenyi has spent studying
theater have paid off for his
students at UNC.
He is very, very, knowl-
edgeable on so many aspects
of theater, and because he is a
dramaturg, you can ask him
anything about the plays, said
Annie Keller, a freshman music
and dramatic arts major.
Keller, who had Versenyi as
a professor in the fall, said she
admired his responsiveness to
the needs of the class and his
passion for theater.
Hes a very enthusiastic
teacher you can definitely
tell he loves what hes doing
and that communicates to the
class, Keller said.
Cornell said Versenyi, like
all department chairs, cares
about his students and fac-
ulty, especially considering his
familial ties at UNC.
He has a daughter who
DTH/BERNADINE DEMBOSKY
Adam Versenyi is the latest chairman for the department of dra-
matic art at UNC. He was a dramaturg for Playmakers in 1988.
Versenyi starts as drama chair
just recently graduated, so he
is especially invested, knowing
that his own children are stu-
dents, as well, Cornell said.
Thats not unique, but it
certainly makes him realize
how important what we do
is, because he can see how it
impacts his own family.
After being the chairman
for a month, Versenyi said he is
interested in strengthening the
dramatic art profile of scholars
and artists at UNC, as well as
trying to further international-
ize the class offerings within
the department.
There are very few places
in the country where you can
be in the department where
you have one foot in the
academy and one foot on the
stage, he said.
I think all of that com-
bined to make (UNC) an
excellent place for me.

UNC dining employees weather snow
By Danny Nett
Staff Writer
Last weeks snowstorm
canceled classes, closed offices
and prevented many restau-
rants on Franklin Street from
delivering.
But students still have
to eat, and UNC employees
worked through the weather
to make sure that happened.
Rams Head and Lenoir
Dining Halls continued to
serve food during the storm
and employees who were
also given the option to not
work came in to work over-
time.
If (the dining halls) were
going to be open, Id be here,
said Dominic Johnson, who
has been working at Lenoir
for a year and a half.
Employees who came into
work Feb. 12 and 13 were pro-
vided basic toiletries, rooms
to stay in at the Comfort
Inn and transportation. All
expenses were covered by
Aramark, the company that
runs the dining halls at UNC.
Workers were also pro-
vided clean clothing such as
shirts and socks.
We housed between 20 to
25 employees on Wednesday
and Thursday night and also
provided transportation to
and from work for another
10-15 each day, said Scott
Weir, resident district man-
ager for Aramark.
Weir said Carolina Dining
Services functions on a prior-
ity-based protocol for inclem-
ent weather.
Weir said Rams Head is
CDSs priority because of its
generator in case of power
failure and its proximity to
large neighborhoods of stu-
dent housing. Top of Lenoir
is next, followed by various
retail operations on campus.
I think everything went
pretty smooth, given the cir-
cumstances, said Matthew
Roberts, a student who has
worked for CDS for the past
five months.
Johnson said the main dif-
ference of working in the storm
was not the weather but the
interaction among employees
and students. He said students
were friendlier than on a nor-
mal day, although he does not
feel as though students ever
take his work for granted.
There was a more intimate
setting; everyones in the same
position, Johnson said.
Weir said employees were
not required to come into work
if they felt the weather threat-
ened their safety. Johnson and
Roberts both worked overtime
last week, stating they would
prefer to do that than get time
off for the storm.
We are blessed that our
employees are very dedicated
to the campus and the cus-
tomers they serve, Weir said.
They are very flexible and
accommodating during times
of inclement weather.

TODAY IN DIVE
Six inches of snow one week, mid-sixties
and sunshine the next. Whatever the
weather, Dive staff has you covered.
This classic Allman
Brothers song is perfect to
throw in your ears while
walking to class during the
wave of warm weather hitting
Chapel Hill this week. The
cheerful, winding guitar solo
in the middle of the song is
reminiscent of an intoxicating
afternoon with friends. They
even say, Goin to Carolina,
wont be long and I ll be
there. Who can blame them?
Dixon Ferrell
The beautiful harmonies
and orchestra background
give this duet a kind of calm
before the storm vibe. A
great song to spend with
someone you love on a cold
winter day, even if that some-
one is a cup of hot chocolate.
And if youre really in the
mood for some lovin, try The
Beginning by John Legend,
which samples the same tune.
Kristina Kokkonos
If the black clouds and
sporadic weather of North
Carolina get you down, this
gorgeous song is just what you
need. The song begins soft and
ends in a swelling crescendo. It
transitions from a hushed and
hopeless poem to an inspiring
battle cry. By the end, hopefully
you ll remember that despite
the unpredictable weather or a
few disappointing exam grades,
its all only a change of time.
Schyler Martin
The song begins with
something most college stu-
dents know all too well a
hangover. But, stepping out-
side into the sunshine on a
gorgeous day, noticing that
even the birds are bumpin,
can make anyone forget about
their troubles. Anyone can
have a bad day turn good, and
Atmospheres delivery of a
laid back flow over a simple
piano and beat captures just
that. Kristina Kokkonos
No, its not a Dolly Parton
cover. This sweet song follows
a relationship through pour-
ing rain, blooming flowers,
sunshine and the clearing of
the clouds.
With all that weather in
play, it basically chronologues
one week spent in Chapel
Hill. The lyrics are heart-
breaking in a simple, beauti-
ful way, but the tune will still
put an extra spring in your
step. Schyler Martin
This Icelandic song trans-
lated tells a story about jump-
ing into puddles and celebrat-
ing the weather a process
students went through Friday
as the snow melted and class-
es were canceled. Apart from
being the epitome of inspira-
tional music for movie trail-
ers, this song can be just what
a kid needs during that final
push of an all-nighter after
being spoiled with a four-day
weekend. Amanda Hayes
The lyrics on this standout
Dirty Projectors track are
abstract and moody, perfectly
fitting the bizarre weather
of late. Everything is tame
with background harmoniz-
ing and melodic synthesizers.
Then, the chorus explodes
with screeching guitars and
shouted vocals. The songs
disparate elements remind of
the freezing temperatures and
humid days in Chapel Hill.
Mac Gushanas
After the stinging disap-
pointment of the canceled
Duke game thanks to last
weeks sudden snow, just
about everyone was thinking
of this song, they just didnt
know it.
Stuck indoors with no
plans or transportation and
scarce food, students were
calling out to anyone, come
to me again in the cold, cold
night. Amanda Hayes
Snow days are always a
blast. Having to resume your
normal life and all the work
you put off after a four-day
weekend, not so much.
So if youre sad about the
snow melting away so quickly,
just sing along to this punk
rock ballad. Maybe if you
keep saying, Go away, sunny
day, the snow might magical-
ly appear again and all your
midterms will be postponed.
Marcela Guimaraes
Phishs take on traditional
American country is a nice
complement to a stormy day.
This tune is composed of
drizzling sounds and rain
imagery.
The song can be interpret-
ed to have several meanings,
but it is likely about tuning
someone or something out,
like you might want to do
with the impending midterm
season. Dixon Ferrell
Were gonna have a Snow
Party tonight! But if there
were an anthem for snowy
days, this would be it. Simple
riffs and catchy hooks about
drinking wine and complain-
ing about the snow outside?
Sounds like my Thursday
night. Jam along to this tune
and reminisce about all the
sheets of ice and crashing
cars that was the snowpoca-
lypse. Marcela Guimaraes
Its hard to exactly pinpoint
exactly what sort of genre this
track slides under, ranging
from jazz to funk and even
rock. Highly influential and
always at a quick pace, Miles
Davis keeps the listener on
his or her toes, never knowing
where the beat may go next.
Just like the ever-changing
weather outside, Davis can-
not be predicted. Mac

Q&A with drag queen
Vivica C. Coxx
COURTESY OF VIVICA C. COXX
Drag queen Vivica C. Coxx will bring her amateur drag competition to The Pinhook this Saturday.
Vivica C. Coxx wishes to
change the face of drag in the
Triangle. Coxx will host her
third show at the Pinhook
this weekend. Diversions staff
writer Kristina Kokkonos
spoke to Coxx about her career
as a drag queen thus far.
DIVERSIONS: When did you
first realize that you wanted
to perform?
VIVICA C. COXX: I would
say it just kind of happened
naturally. I am someone who
belongs on stage, thats what
I tell people. Its actually
where Im most comfortable.
If you asked me a series of
questions one-on-one, I can
handle them, but if you give
me a stage and you make me
interact with anywhere from
100 to 2,000 people, all of a
sudden I light up, and that is
just where I belong.
DIVE: What does your typi-
cal show consist of?
VC: My typical show is
actually an amateur drag
competition. So it consists of
me taking a lot of time to get
to know the crowd, tell a few
jokes and have a lot of fun
with them. But its really an
opportunity for drag queens
that have never really had
an opportunity to perform.
I dont limit my drag perfor-
mances to really real-looking
drag queens; I ask anyone
and however they define drag
to feel comfortable to perform
in my show. Im not looking
for anyone who wants to go
on to the Miss Gay North
Carolina (America) Pageant
Im looking for people who
are going to cater to everyone.
DIVE: Who would you say is
your biggest inspiration?
VC: I would have to say its
a tie of three people. (The first
is) Latrice Royale, who was
on RuPauls Drag Race, and
she is just large and in charge.
Im not a small queen; Im
also not a large queen. But
Latrice just reminds you that
you can be successful regard-
less of your size, and I think
thats awesome.
And then Manila Luzon; I
opened for her for NC Pride,
and while in the sitting room,
she kind of gave me some
words of wisdom and helped
me take my drag to the next
level. Its been less than six
months and I really feel like
my career as a drag queen
took off the moment I spoke
to her. And third is going to
be my mother, who had the
bravery to live her life the
way it needed to be lived. The
moment she decided to do
that was always something I
Cloud Becomes Your Hand
Rocks or Cakes
Rock
Brooklyn-based band
Cloud Becomes Your Hands
debut album Rocks or Cakes
is an experimental and color-
ful 36-minute journey. While
the record might not be for
everyone, the band pushes the
envelope of what rock can be
in terms of instrumentation
and song structure.
Although the record
features traditional instru-
ments like guitars, drums and
violins, it also incorporates
bizarre synthesizers, chimes
and feedback loops. Peanuts
In A Celluloid Bag solely
comprises glitches, bleeps,
yelps and howls.
The record features a
wide array of textures. Some
tracks sound like they were
recorded underwater, while
others are more atmospheric.
Furthermore, the band defies
traditional verse-chorus song
structure. Even the more
conventionally-structured
tracks such as Sand of Sea
and Nuclei Spinoffs stray
from the beaten path. The lat-
ter half of the record focuses
more on instrumentals, as
singing is relatively sparse.
Bees Going Postal and
Glimpse of Hot Glove seem
like they belong on Pink
Floyds The Piper at the Gates
of Dawn due to their sponta-
neous and spacey sound.
At times, the bands
attempt to be weird comes off
as forced and arbitrary. Many
of the odd sounds bog down
the melodies, and the mono-
logue at the end of Theme
From Baby Age is unneces-
sary.
Rocks or Cakes brings
many new concepts and a
much needed breath of fresh
air to rock music.
Although these ideas are
raw and need refinement,
Cloud Becomes Your Hand
just might have the chops to
pull it off.

MUSICSHORTS
established music careers of
members John Schmersal
and Christian Beaulieu, both
veterans of multiple indie
punk acts.
Sneakily brief despite its
fifteen tracks, Daughter of
Everything never drags and
remains refreshingly consis-
tent.
Opener Wait No Longer
kicks off in a spirited fashion,
a punky and pounding num-
ber coming in at just longer
than a minute. The album
continues strong with Turn
Me Out, a more straight-
forward, lighthearted rock
track.
Surprisingly, some of the
best tracks are slower and
melancholic.
Pretend U Are Free is
a melodic love song with
romantic harmonizing
and beeping electronics.
Elsewhere, U Dug Us All
incorporates acoustic strum-
ming and a darker tone for an
album standout.
While some may cri-
tique the originality of
Vertical Scratchers, songs
like Kingdom Come and
These Plains are too self-
assured and head bobbing to
toss away as commonplace.
Rarely, like on the generic
Way Out, does the imitative
nature become noticeable.
One late, bizarre song is
My Only Want. Funky and
sensual, the band creatively
takes on a Latin influence.
Such inventiveness is neces-
sary, as the record begins to
falter near the end.
Unfortunately Rainbows
and The End, make for a
less than rousing finish. Both
songs sound derivative of
everything thats come before.
Owing to the band mem-
bers history in alt-rock,
Daughter of Everything truly
understands its strengths and
weaknesses.
The brevity and steadi-
ness throughout make for a
fun, easy listen and hint at
a bright future for Vertical
Scratchers.

DIVE: Do you sing, dance
or both?
VC: I dance and I lip sync.
I have been playing with the
idea of doing live singing but
right now it is not a part of
my show.
DIVE: What are you looking
forward to this weekend?
VC: The crowd. I think
what makes my show differ-
ent from all the others is the
Pinhook crowd. Im trying
to become the resident drag
queen for the Pinhook and I
think its going well. But the
crowd there is just so much
more interactive and kind,
and they are actually there
because they love you. Theyre
not there because of any bit-
terness or anything. They are
coming out because they are
excited, and that is the best
crowd you could ever hope for
as a performer.

When Angel Olsen took
the the shadowy stage at
the Fletcher Opera Theater
during last years Hopscotch
festival, she was met with rev-
erent silence. Solely accom-
panied by her reverb-soaked
Danelectro guitar, Olsens
high and lonesome wavering
was amplified by the venues
airy stillness.
As if to replicate the
sparse nature of her recorded
output, the silence was her
friend.
And now with the release
of Burn Your Fire For No
Witness, her first effort for
indie giant Jagjaguwar, Olsen
disrupts that silence. Thanks
to a scrappy backing band,
Olsen steps out of the forlorn
shadows, throwing her com-
manding voice into a more
combustable formula.
But make no mistake, Burn
Your Fire For No Witness
is not an extreme stylistic
departure.
The tracks still assume a
Southern tinge and Olsens
high register still dominates
the mix, but the mood here
has shifted.
Take Hi-Five for example.
The track employs a melody
reminiscent of classic country
but adopts a newfound edge.
The loneliness in Olsens
wailing recalls not crest-
fallen contemplation but utter
frustration. Olsens feelings
havent changed, but how she
approaches them certainly
has.
Elsewhere, jarring tom-
and-snare hits culminate
in an explosive conclu-
sion to High & Wild.
Unfucktheworld, a solo
acoustic number, meanders
to a somber refrain. I am the
only one now, Olsen asserts
with a subtle soreness that
carries over into Forgiven/
Forgotten, the albums most
aggressive track. Here, thun-
derous floor toms are cathar-
tic, relieving the brooding
melody.
The album showcases a
more confrontational Olsen.
Whereas her previous releases
welcomed the listener into
her woeful inner dialogues,
Fire is much more upfront.
On Burn Your Fire For No
Witness, Olsen isnt howl-
ing from a distance, she is
screaming in your face.

COURTESY OF PARADISE OF BACHELORS
As Hiss Golden Messenger, Michael Taylor leans heavily on American music traditions but bends them according to his own style.
By Charlie Shelton
Staff Writer
When Michael Taylor
of Durhams Hiss Golden
Messenger first released Bad
Debt in 2010, the soft-spo-
ken, intimate record did not
reach a large audience. With
most of the records supply
burned in a warehouse fire
during the London riots of
2010, the lost LP created a
mysterious smoke around the
origins of Taylors experimen-
tal folk project.
But as Hiss Golden
Messenger gained more rec-
ognition with Poor Moon
in 2011 and Haw in 2013,
the mysterious Bad Debt
recordings could no longer
remain hidden. In January,
Taylor reissued the record
with the help of local label
Paradise of Bachelors.
As the story goes, Taylor
recorded Bad Debt during the
early hours of a North Carolina
winter on a portable recorder
in his kitchen, keeping the
house still with a strumming
serenity while his newborn
slept in a nearby room.
Such an origin tale fits
perfectly as the birth to what
Hiss Golden Messenger has
come to be, a music rooted in
personal storytelling and reli-
gious folklore.
But Taylor said he does
not try to ground his music
in past traditions of what
folklore is supposed to be.
Instead, he sees folk as a
culture that is continually
evolving.
Many people who do folk-
Winters Tale
Winters Tale tries so
hard to be a film that moves
beyond mere romance it
contains hints of magical
realism, New York gangsters,
fantasy, Heaven vs. Hell and
a heavy sense of fate and
destiny. Unfortunately this
Akiva Goldsman film fails, at
least somewhat, in all of those
aspects.
The film follows Peter Lake
(Colin Ferrell), an orphan
who has been raised by Pearly
Soames (Russell Crowe) in
turn-of-the-century New
York City. Pearly and his gang
taught Peter everything he
knows, namely how to steal in
order to survive.
On his last raid before leav-
ing the city to escape Pearlys
wrath, Peter meets Beverly
(Jessica Brown Findlay)and
through the folklore gradu-
ate program at UNC. Taylor
graduated from the program
with a masters degree in
2009, which led him to work
as a contract folklorist for the
state.
Taylor would travel to east-
ern North Carolina to set up
live field recordings of any
kind of traditional music. Yet,
as people welcomed him into
their rural homes, he began to
challenge what it really meant
to be traditional.
You can take traditional
materials and make some-
thing genuine out of them,
and if you say it is traditional,
then it is traditional. And if
you say something is impor-
tant and personal, then it is,
Taylor said.
Its about understanding
that a person doesnt go into
a community and explain to
them what is traditional. Your
job is to listen and whatever
the definition is that they
convey to you, those are the
definitions you use in regards
to that community.
Not only is this redefini-
tion of traditional folklore
incorporated into the music
of Hiss Golden Messenger, it
also plays into Taylors aca-
demic life he returned to
UNCs folklore department
this fall to teach Introduction
to Folklore.
When Kiever Hunter,
a junior American studies
major, walked into the class
on the first day, he was a little
shocked to see Taylor at the
front of the room. Hunter
was familiar with Taylors
MOVIESHORTS
they instantly fall in love.
Beverly is dying of consump-
tion, but her associations with
heat and light give her a tran-
scendent quality that draws
Peter in.
This is the point when
Winters Tale transforms
from a budding romantic
tragedy to a giant question
mark as the director tries to
fit four films into one.
Turns out Pearly is not just
a gangster; hes a demon that
makes deals with angels and
answers to one man only:
Lucifer, played by none other
than Will Smith who sports
two earrings and a Jimi
Hendrix t-shirt in 1916. The
only thing that saves mortal
Peter over and over is his
white-stallion-slash-guard-
ian-angel that flies.
Eventually, Peter is des-
tined to live forever, finally
reaching 2014 New York,
feeling lost without the
memory of his beloved
Beverly. Virginia, a bit part
played randomly by Jennifer
Connelly, helps Peter remem-
ber his past and the reason he
stayed alive all these years.
The rookie special effects
made this movie into a joke,
but not even brilliant CGI
couldve made this story any
less bewildering to an audi-
ence that expected a simple
love story.
Lizzie Goodell
lore work are trying to convey
the last existing whatever-it-
is. The last existing storyteller
before the person dies and the
tradition is lost. I dont think
that way about folklore, he
said.
I think that stuff carries
on in ways that we may not
recognize at first glance, so
our job as folklorists is to
understand what the heart of
the traditions or vernacular
expressions are.
Hiss Golden Messenger
is not a simple replication of
the roots influences it draws
from. Instead, it is a subli-
mation of folk tradition by
blending the pasts reverence
with the presents innovation.
Taylor absorbs traditions of
gospel music and folklore and
melts them into his own style
of creative storytelling.
This trait was one of the
reasons Brendan Greaves,
co-owner of Paradise of
Bachelors, chose to sign
Taylor and issue Poor Moon
in 2011 as one of the record
labels first official releases.
He is working within a
tradition but pushes those
boundaries, Greaves said.
Hes making a very per-
sonal version of gospel music
that doesnt really have to do
with traditional orthodoxy.
He touches on Scripture and
personal interpretations,
but whats curious is how it
manipulates the sounds of
classic gospel music.
Before Hiss Golden
Messenger and Paradise of
Bachelors existed, Taylor
and Greaves met each other

music after playing tracks like
Poor Moons powerful Jesus
Shot Me in the Head on his
WXYC radio program. But
he said he quickly overcame
his fandom and cherished
the class as a down-to-earth
Taylor explained folklore like
a grandfather telling you a
story.
We learned things like
how does such storytelling
shape our lives and color our
world, Hunter said.
And now the more I ana-
lyze storytelling and the oral
tradition, I have realized that
it is everything. We are always
learning through the narra-
tives that are told to us.
While folklore seems to
be embedded deep inside
Taylors life, he said he has
a problem with the word
itself. But Taylor said he
also realizes these culturally
constructed definitions are
ultimately out of his control,
and all he can do is create his
own traditions and be proud
of them.
Just hearing the word
folklore, you make up your
mind before hearing anything
about it. Im honestly think-
ing that rebranding folklore is
long overdue, he said.
But who am I to decide?

theres no question, Williams
said. I thought we were really
in a good frame of mind at
that point, too, so Ive tried to
just blow that off and say, Hey,
were going to play next week
instead of now and havent
tried to put too much thought
into that and let them think
about it. Just play basketball.
UNC enters the game in
fourth place in the ACC fol-
lowing two gritty wins against
then-No. 25 Pittsburgh
Saturday and Florida State on
the road Monday.
Against Florida State,
reigning ACC Player of the
Week James Michael McAdoo
was held scoreless and played
limited minutes, forcing the
team to lean on other weapons
something that will serve it
well against a deep and well-
balanced Duke (21-5, 10-3
ACC) team.
Eight Blue Devils play more
than 10 minutes per game and
three average in double figures.
Duke is lethal from behind the
arc averaging an ACC best
41.6 percent from long range.
UNC leading scorer
Marcus Paige said one of the
major keys to controlling the
game is clamping down on
those 3-point opportunities.
Ive watched them a
bunch, he said. Theyre a
pretty good team Im pretty
sure Im supposed to say that.
No matter when the game
is played or under what con-
ditions, one thing is certain
when the lights dim, the
air will crackle with electric-
ity, and everyone will be
ready for the 237th edition
of a rivalry with unparalleled
ferocity.
The excitement, the
nerves, thinking about the
game it will be just as much
for this game, McAdoo said.
We would have loved to play
last week, but at the end of the
day, its going to be 40 minutes,
no matter how many games
weve won or lost before.

FROM PAGE 1
Theyre branching out into
the social media spectrum.
Amber Majors, a junior who
said she typically doesnt vote
in student elections, decided to
vote this year because Vicente
appealed to her.
People thought that some-
one with so much drive for one
cause could not possibly see to
others, she said in an email.
For me, it meant the exact
opposite. Rights for undocu-
mented students is Emilios
passion, but its not his only
concern. As a black woman,
I am part of one of the most
marginalized groups in the U.S.
And as a gay, undocumented
person, so is Emilio.
Windsor said one of the
best ways to get more stu-
dents to vote is for the can-
didates and their teams to
publicize the election.
The BOE is only composed
of seven members, however
each candidate can, in some
cases, have a large retinue of
students and resources to help
advocate not only for the can-
didate, but for the election as a
whole, he said in an email.
Bayne said UNC-G strug-
gles with the issue of lack of
election awareness as well.
If you dont see any pub-
licity, you cant blame the stu-
dents for not voting, Bayne
said. Last year there was no
publicity for the election and
the reason people voted was
because of social media.
Windsor said he thinks the
high number of voters was
partly due to the number of
important positions being
voted on Carolina Athletic
Association president,
Residence Hall Association
president, and, of course, stu-
dent body president.
We had three major offices
in the runoff and all of those
helped pull 2,000-odd people
extra, he said.
Bayne said all students
should be aware of why they
should vote and what each
vote does for the university.
If people arent informed,
they cant vote, she said. I
dont think people under-
stand the importance of stu-
dent government.

because the meeting will
include the State Board of
Community Colleges and
there is not enough space in
the Spangler Center to accom-
modate both groups, said Joni
Worthington, spokeswoman
for the UNC system.
The community college
board will attend the meet-
ing to vote on revisions to the
Comprehensive Articulation
Agreement, which simplifies
the process of transferring
between community colleges
in the state and schools in the
UNC system, she said in an
email.
Powell, an out-of-state stu-
dent from Tennessee, said he
does not want to see tuition
increase each year.
Were reaching a breaking
point, and our students are
being affected by it, he said.
A major portion of the
money generated from the
tuition increase will go to
cover legislative budget
reductions. The rest will be
available for campus use.
Tuition increases are never
good, but a tuition increase
with no return doesnt make
sense, Nunnery said.

Coffee with a Cop comes to Chapel Hill
By McKenzie Bennett
Staff Writer
There will not be dough-
nuts available, but officers
of the Chapel Hill Police
Department will congregate
at Market Street Coffeehouse
Friday morning.
The officers will not be
responding to an emergency.
Instead, they will be sitting
down to chat with residents.
One woman said to me,
This event is great. I have a
question for the cops because
I inherited a gun, and I dont
know what to do about it, said
Sara Owens, general manager
of Market Street Coffeehouse.
Chapel Hill police are host-
ing their first Coffee with a
Cop event at Market Street
Coffeehouse on South Elliot
Road Friday from 8 to 10 a.m.
Recently adopted by
Carrboro, and originating in
California, the event gives
residents a chance to get to
know their police force on a
more personal level.
Sgt. Billy Austin, of the
community services divi-
sion for the Carrboro Police
Department, said Carrboro
has already hosted two
Coffee with a Cop events
and received positive feed-
back from both. Chapel Hill
officers say they think the
program will be just as well
received in their town.
Its just an opportunity
to enjoy fellowships with
officers that you might not
normally get to meet during
your regular day, said Lt.
Joshua Mecimore, spokesman
for the Chapel Hill Police
Department.The event also
gives residents a chance to
voice any issues or concerns,
Mecimore said.
He said officers will docu-
ment any concerns voiced
by residents. If officers are
not able to address those
issues Friday, the department
will contact residents at a
later time. Walker said that
residents are not restricted to
what they can and cannot talk
with the officers about.
These conversations dont
have to be about the police
department, Walker said.
They may sit down with a
police officer and find out that
they have a hobby in common.
Robin Clark, a Chapel Hill
police officer who will attend
the event, said it is important
for residents to trust their
local police force.
When people trust you,
they are more apt to be open
and honest with you, Clark
said.
Participating in the event
allows people to talk to officers
in a non-threatening, informal
environment, Walker said.
Most people encounter
police after they have called
us for some reason, Walker
said. That is not usually an
environment conducive to
just chatting with an officer.

The program will
allow town residents
to meet with police.
Congress talks improvement
DTH/IMRAN FROOGH
Anthony Ferrara, a junior economics and political science major, is a
UNC Student Congress representative for the off-campus district.
By Daniel Schere
Assistant University Editor
With the end of elec-
tion season, UNC Student
Congress is already looking
ahead to next year.
Members met outside
Bingham Hall Wednesday to
discuss improvements they
hope will be made in the next
congress, which will take
office in April. The conver-
sation centered around the
need for closer relationships
between members.
It was meant to be a
public forum for anyone,
but only congress members
attended. There were about
five members there with
discussion led by Speaker
Pro-Tempore John Guzek.
Speaker Connor Brady was
not in attendance.
Guzek said he thinks
holding an orientation ses-
sion for incoming members
would help new members
bond in a way that is not
possible most of the time,
due to formal procedures
during sessions.
Its not like a typical stu-
dent organizations where you
can create those relationships
outside of congress, he said.
Guzek said he thinks
some members join Student
Congress for a resume
builder.
Its a natural tendency
with winning any elected
position, its easy to get
caught up in the winning
part of it, not always in the
doing part of it, he said. And
I think thats natural in any
leadership position.
Guzek said he thinks the
95th Congress has been
instrumental in bringing
students concerns to the
Universitys largest governing
bodies.
Personally for me, student
advocacy is a huge issue, he
said.
Making sure student
voices are heard before the
Board of Governors, the
Board of Trustees. Thats
something weve made sig-
nificant gains in this session.
Id like to see congress con-
tinue to do that.
The members said the
turnout of more than 7,000
voters in Tuesdays runoff
election between Andrew
Powell and Emilio Vicente
was a surprising and encour-
aging sign of increased inter-
est in student government
across campus.
Graduate student Laura
Tollini, who represents
District 10, said normally
graduate students pay little
attention to the student body
president race, but this year
was an exception.
It became something
that was brought to national
level press, and I think that
makes people more inter-
ested, and I talked to gradu-
ate students that knew the
names of the candidates,
which is not always the
case, she said.
Walker Swain, vice-
chairman of the oversight
and advocacy committee,
said he wants to see Student
Congress release statements
more frequently on key
University issues like sexual
assault and the athletic scan-
dal.
Swain said he was also
surprised at the voter turnout
level this year.
Typically my thinking
is that, Yeah a runoff, its
definitely a more heated race
because its one-on-one, he
said.
But still I would have
thought that if turnout
increased, it would not have
been by more than 10 per-
cent.
Swain said he wants to
know what was behind this
trend.
Id really like to look at
what elements of this election
cycle were different, Swain
said.

part of it, not always in the doing part of it.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
FEATURED ONLINE READER COMMENT
Willinghams explana-
tion was insufficient
TO THE EDITOR:
While I welcome Mary
Willinghams attempt to
dispel misconceptions
about her research in her
letter to the editor on
Monday, I would like to
encourage her to further
address concerns raised by
this research.
Namely, I am hoping
that Ms. Willingham will
share with us the methods
by which she collected her
data and how then she ana-
lyzed and interpreted this
data in order to draw the
conclusions that she shared
with the national media.
Such an explanation is
absolutely central to any
academic research, as it
allows the reader to analyze
for him/herself the validity
of both a researchers data
and the conclusions the
researcher draws from that
data.
Allegations have been
made in these pages and
elsewhere that have cast
serious doubt on the
methods employed by
Ms. Willingham, and thus
also on the validity of
her conclusions. If these
allegations are in fact
untrue, Ms. Willingham
should share with us what
her actual methods were.
So far her silence on this
particular issue has been
deafening.

Undergraduates are
missing great music
TO THE EDITOR:
On Tuesday night I
attended a concert by the
UNC Symphony Orchestra
conducted by music direc-
tor Tonu Kalam. Once
again, I was astounded by
the professionalism and
sensitive musicianship of
all the performers. The
orchestra executed each
piece beautifully, and the
two soloists (student win-
ners of the UNC Concerto
Competition) displayed
top-flight skill, the result
of many hours of diligent
practice.
While there were a
respectable number of
listeners in attendance,
a large portion of them
appeared to be parents and
other family members of
the student performers.
I was disappointed to see
comparatively few under-
graduate students in the
audience.
Many students may
not be aware of the excel-
lent musical ensembles
on UNCs campus. One
of the largest, the UNC
Symphony Orchestra, is a
tremendously impressive
group of approximately
100 students, primarily
undergraduates, although
several graduate students
also take part. The ensem-
ble has been recognized as
one of the strongest uni-
versity symphonies in the
nation.

Hacking
at some
racist
trees
I
f a tree celebrates
Presidents Day in the for-
est, does it make a sound?
And at what point do we care?
I guess it depends if the trees
of voting age? It would seem sig-
nificant if the trees civic engage-
ment were not limited to a small
circle of soil. Or if anyone else
were around to be inspired to a
newfound respect for presidents
by the oaks fervent patriotism.
Holidays, like public monu-
ments and the political blogo-
sphere, are stubbornly fixed
set-pieces in the ongoing stage
production that is our society.
They are prominent, largely
unshakeable features of the
structure in and through which
we go about our lives. Like
trees! And like trees, they are
only relatively stable because
we have stuck them in the
ground good and tight, and
ignoring them is easier than
buying a chainsaw on a college
budget.
Unlike trees, however,
holidays, statues and build-
ings named after Ku Klux
Klan organizers are man-
made. Thus they only really
do things when we celebrate
or regularly attend classes in
them.
So what does a holiday do if
it just sits on campus and gets
ignored? Does Presidents Day
do something simply by exist-
ing even though we did not
get a day off to contemplate
its significance and nurse our
snow-weekend hangovers?
We are conscious of it, so that
is something. And a lot of states
use it to celebrate just George
Washingtons and Abraham
Lincolns birthdays, so maybe
that specificity mixes things up?
Alabama excludes Lincoln
and celebrates Washingtons
and Thomas Jeffersons birth-
days even though the latter
is not until April. Presumably
because that other president
presided over one of the great-
est periods of death and vio-
lence in American history?
(At least they are not cel-
ebrating Andrew Jackson
I think the irony would be
enough to kill me, or at least
uproot thousands from the land
they have lived on for centu-
ries and force them to march
thousands of miles so white
settlements can expand com-
fortably.)
So Presidents Day must
have some symbolic value in
shaping how we see our soci-
ety. But what about holidays
like Labor Day? We get a day
off, so it must be significant,
but does it play a role in shap-
ing our values or ourselves?
Probably not, because until
the age of 16 I had never con-
sidered it to be about anything
beyond pregnant ladies and
obscure fashion codes. (I had
to check Wikipedia to be sure
its actually about the American
labor movement. It is.)
We actively celebrate
Veterans Day, but that is a tree
we have altered over time. (It
used to be Armistice Day so
a bit more about peace than
soldiers.) But what about
Columbus Day?
And while we are on the
subject of memorialized rac-
ism, what about all these
Confederate legacies and quiet
monuments to racism scattered
around campus? Lingering rel-
ics of an ugly past slowing our
march forward? Useful symbols
of injustice to rally around (e.g.,
the Pit Preacher)? Dead meta-
phors like Labor Day?

James Taylor opposes
fracking
TO THE EDITOR:
Recent coal ash disasters
and sewage spills illustrate
the growing perils facing
North Carolinas drinking
water and its environment.
But another major threat
to North Carolinas clean
water, health and quality
of life is yet to come if law-
makers in Raleigh continue
their reckless march to
open the state to fracking,
says one of North Carolinas
favorite sons.
In television spots
scheduled to air this week
on broadcast, cable and
internet outlets in the
state, singer, songwriter
and North Carolina native
James Taylor explains why
North Carolinians should
be wary.
Big oil and gas are push-
ing the governor and the
legislature to allow reckless
fracking, says Taylor, who
grew up in North Carolina
and whose Carolina In My
Mind captures the special-
ness of the state where he
grew up.
Fracking is dirty and its
dangerous, Taylor says. It
can poison drinking water,
and chemicals in fracking
fluid are known to cause
cancer. Taylor has been
a trustee of the Natural
Resources Defense Council
for 17 years.
A July 2013 NRDC
poll showed that North
Carolinians overwhelm-
ingly oppose fracking.
Yet even so, some mem-
bers of the N.C. General
Assembly, Gov. Pat
McCrory and regulatory
agencies in Raleigh con-
tinue to take steps that
disregard common sense
health and environmen-
tal safeguards regarding
fracking. These actions
could soon expose North
Carolinians to water
contamination and other
hazards that come with
fracking that residents of
other states are struggling
with today.
On Jan. 14, for instance,
the North Carolina Mining
and Energy Commission
approved a rule allowing
fracking companies to keep
secret the chemicals they
pump underground.
The Mining and Energy
Commission will con-
sider dismantling other
fracking-related safeguards
at its monthly meetings
through the spring, before
adopting final rules later
this year.

In a contrast to last week,
the forecast for tomorrows
game is a balmy
70 degrees with
a 20 percent
chance of rain.
This should give
Duke about a 50 percent
chance of arriving on time
for the game. Dont get up
in arms if they cant though
those clouds can have
some pretty intense glare.

Dukes sex life has fnally
moved from PowerPoints to

and Dukes tech team is

notice that we have run
both Why I Hate

this year, instead
of merely one.
While it may
break a long-standing tradi-
tion, we were inspired by
Coach Ks decision to do the
same and break the tradi-
tion of actually showing up
to scheduled games.
Haters gonna hate
After the recent snow, some
Duke students will have to
make up missed
classes on Satur-
days. Although
this may cut into
their notoriously
wild night life, we support
anything that keeps their
lacrosse players away from
strippers and quells the
number of racist party
themes.

COLUMN
Editors note: Ian
Williams, a 1990 UNC
alumnus, was a columnist
for The Daily Tar Heel in the
spring 1990 semester who
wrote the iconic column,
Why I Hate Duke. The col-
umn ran Jan. 17, 1990. That
night, the Tar Heels stomped
the Blue Devils by 19.
This column was written
in 2007 as a follow-up.
I
always hated it when
alumni came back and
waxed rhapsodic about
their undergrad years. Yes,
I would always think to
myself, I know there were
kegs in the dorms, I know
there was free love outside
Bingham Hall, I know that
everyone sung in harmony
about a perfect world, blah
blah blah
So why listen to me, you
might ask? Well, usually in
this spot, the DTH runs an
old chestnut I wrote about
Why I Hate Dook. I had a
Wednesday column back in
the Bronze Age of 1990, and
I told the story of how my
high school visit to Durham
turned into a flaming pyre of
white-hot hostility.
When the piece ran, I
thought my friends would
disparage the obviousness of
it writing a column about
hating Dook? Jesus, thats
like shooting barrelfuls of
cod! Instead, the column
ended up on refrigerators
across the Piedmont, and it
taught me two lessons. First,
dont overthink your duties;
and second, never underesti-
mate the hatred for Durham
Clown College.
A whole cottage industry
has since grown out of the
UNC/Dook rivalry; two big-
selling books, endless cover-
age on ESPN, and gigabytes
of Photoshopped files fea-
turing Mike Kryshwqhskdi.
What used to be private
disgust is now a public phe-
nomenon, and it raises the
question: is Dook still worth
Ian Williams
Former Columnist
Usually only printed once a year,
Williams was brought out again
in honor of tonights rescheduled
game.
hating?
I assumed, like everyone
does, three things would hap-
pen to me once I graduated.
My views would become more
conservative, I wouldnt be
allowed to sleep past 10 a.m.
anymore, and my passion for
beating Dook would gradu-
ally drift away. I would grow
hair on my ears and suddenly
think sitcoms were funny.
Im here to tell you these
things dont necessarily hap-
pen. I grew more obnoxiously
liberal, I got a writing gig with
flexible mornings, and my
eye-twitching contempt of
Dooks basketball team grew
even more intense. They seem
to manufacture loathsome
jerks year after year.
How can you watch any
random press conference
of Koach K and not feel
this man is a modern-day
Narcissus so fixated on suc-
cess that hes happy to throw
his own players under the
bus? A tightly-wound mess
of resentment and profanity,
the toxic combination of a
control freak with a thinly-
veiled persecution complex?
Yes, I was a psych major.
And believe me, I
wouldnt bet three cups of
snot there isnt some person
just like me in the other
camp, the Dook fan who has
his own dime-store theories
on why Carolina is a blight
on the athletic world. But I
wouldnt trade places if the
Buddha himself showed up
wearing a navy blue unitard.
I ll tell you why: I got to
choose my church. Having
grown up without an orga-
nized religion, I adopted the
Carolina Way. I adhered to
the Dean-Gut-Roy belief
system, and incorporated it
everywhere: doing things
the right way; playing hard,
smart and together; valuing
your family above all.
We all burst from Chapel
Hill in a plume of gor-
geous blue smoke, wafting
to all corners of the globe
where other like-minded
souls await. The sky-blue
mafia has beds for you in
Manhattan, an internship
in Hollywood, a coffee in
Prague, and we ll let you get
in front of us in line at the
K&W in Rocky Mount.
There is no old boys net-
work, no secret handshake.
All we share is an affection
for a town on a hill, and this:
when we see Dookies clog-
ging our TV, our lips curl
and we seethe a little inside.
The week of the big game,
we find ourselves canceling
appointments.
Is Dook still worth hat-
ing? Take a look at Sean
Dockery slugging Tyler in
the mouth. Spend a Saturday
night next door to a Dook
fraternity. Find yourself in
the midst of the Kameron
Krazies, a numbnut group of
ravenously twee dorks who
shellac their nipples with
blue food coloring, scream
cruel and deeply unfunny
crap at opposing teams, then
jump up and down with the
mindless lockstep of the
Communist military.
Theres just so much to
despise! Every religion must
have its Devil, and ours are
Blue. Dook is the gift that
keeps on giving, and wheth-
er youre in an 8 a.m. Econ
class trying to stay awake,
or in your nursery trying to
get your daughter to sleep,
were in it together. Break his
ankles, Ty! Punch it home,
Rey! God bless them Tar
Heel boys!
A second take on a hatred of the school down the road
Why I still hate Duke
