After freeze, in-state tuition could rise

UNC students might see a
3.5 percent hike next year.
By Sarah Brown
State & National Editor

In-state students in the UNC system received a respite from tuition

hikes this school year but with
state support for universities remaining fairly stagnant, the price tag is

likely to bump back up for the fall.

Tuition for North Carolina residents would climb 3.5 percent to
$6,648 at UNC-CH and an average of nearly 4 percent systemwide under a proposal unveiled at
Thursdays UNC-system Board of
Governors meeting. Out-of-state
students at UNC-CH after being
slapped with an 11.7 percent hike in
2014 would see a less than 1 percent increase under the proposal.

If the 2015-16 tuition proposal is

approved, tuition for in-state students at UNC-CH will have more
than doubled in the past 10 years.
Still, the University remains the
least expensive school for in-state students among its public peers, which
include the University of Virginia and
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor.
Board members did not discuss
tuition and fees at length Thursday.
Theyll have a meeting in two weeks to

work through the proposal in advance

of the boards February meeting.
Dinesh McCoy, UNC Campus Y copresident, attended part of Thursdays
meeting and said he thinks board
members are relying too much on
tuition and fee hikes instead of pushing for funding at the legislative level.
When you have a system when
the people who are serving as the
BOG are people who fundraised for
the legislature and then dont feel

comfortable going to the legislature

and asking for money, its disheartening to see, he said.
McCoy said members of the UNC
BOG Democracy Coalition will go to
the General Administration building
today to advocate for UNCs centers
and institutes. A highly scrutinized
report on possible cuts to the systems centers will be presented at the

pay plan

The district will submit a proposal

Counseling and Psychological Services Director Allen OBarr said his goal for the CAPS program is to become more accessible to students.

More students sought short-term counseling in 2013-14

By Victoria Mirian
Staff Writer

Student visits to Counseling

and Psychological Services have
been rising and are not showing any signs of slowing down.
Since 2008, CAPS has made
an effort to see every student
who walked in the door.
Previously, students had to
wait up to two weeks for an
appointment or were put on a
waiting list until the end of the
semester.
Once we made that change,
our numbers jumped almost 15
percent and now have gone up
about 4 or 5 percent every year,
said Allen OBarr, the director
of CAPS.The numbers just
keep climbing.
In the 2013-14 academic year,
243 more students met with a
CAPS counselor for short-term
therapy than in the year before
a 4.7 percent increase.
Group therapy at CAPS
increased by 11.7 percent in the

2013-14 academic year from

the year before. In that same
year, evaluations for medication
at CAPS increased by 17.2 percent, and checks on medication
increased almost 30 percent.
OBarr said there are a
number of reasons for the
growth. Depression and anxiety
increase in fast-paced environments, and he believes people
arent equipped to deal with the
added stress.
While information speed is
moving at an exponential rate,
were biologically adapting at
a linear rate, if not a flat rate,
OBarr said.
After working at UNC for
more than 20 years, he said hes
noticed the stigmas surrounding
mental health are subsiding.
Taylor Swankie is the cochairwoman of Rethink:
Psychiatric Illness, a student
group that formed to help educate the campus community
about mental health issues.
Its something that the

University has been concerned

about in the past and has
pushed for, she said. But now
that there are student organizations like Rethink and Stigma
Free Carolina and Active
Minds, theres more student
voice in that conversation.
Swankie said Rethink
recently led a workshop for
resident advisers. The group
regularly holds four-hour trainings on campus to dispel myths
about mental illness and discuss what resources are available on campus.
On campus, people are
talking about it, she said. For
me, thats a really important
first step.
CAPS welcomes the decreasing stigma.
We certainly want to do
whatever we can to make
people feel more comfortable if
they feel like theres a barrier to
coming in here, OBarr said.

Hill specializes in seasonal

depression and other mental

illnesses.
The word is out in the
last decade about these being
biological illnesses like heart
disease, Hill said. Most people
can get better, and a significant
portion of people can get 100
percent better.
Hill said he understands
mental illness can be scary for
patients, but thats all the more
reason to seek help.
These are all very treatable things. Thats all the more
reason to check in sooner than
later, he said. "(CAPS) can be
the initial step.

In Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools, as in

many other districts, teachers who have taught
longer are paid more. But due to legislation
passed this summer and a contract with an Ohio
company, that could soon change.
Passed in July, the N.C. General Assemblys
budget for the 2014-15 school year included a section stating that it intended to fund differentiated
pay for highly effective teachers.
This section also said all local boards of education should submit proposals to establish local
programs for differentiated teacher pay by Jan. 15.
With a differentiated pay plan, teachers are paid
the same base salary but given different supplements based on certain criteria, such as their level of
professional development training.
This is not the first year in which theres been a
discussion about differentiated pay, said General
Assembly fiscal analyst Brian Matteson.
Matteson said the General Assembly decided
to make the provision optional after some districts questioned its vague wording. He said Gov.
Pat McCrory and Lt. Gov. Dan Forest supported
the legislation, but the government funds to support differentiated teacher pay do not yet exist
they would come in a future budget.

A new partner and a diverse team

Later in the summer, district administrators
reached out to the nonprofit organization Battelle
for Kids, which helps school districts develop
differentiated pay plans. The contract, which the
CHCCS Board of Education approved Sept. 4,
cost the district $100,000.
Tony Bagshaw, managing director of human
capital at Battelle for Kids, said the company
doesnt give schools a preset pay structure model
to conform to it guides schools to find their
own based on whats important to them.
Youve got to answer two fundamental questions, he said. Youve got to decide what we
value and what we can accurately measure.
Bagshaw said though Battelle has worked
with school districts in New York to Colorado to
Charlotte, N.C., with a wide variety of values and
resources, the method is the same every time.
In the fall, the CHCCS districts central office
administrators selected the design team a group
of 30 teachers and administrators who will develop
the differentiated pay plan.
This is something thats for teachers and supports teachers, so we thought that they needed to
have a big part in the design process, said Todd

Recalling a visit from King and a call for peace

Martin Luther King Jr.
spoke at the University
Baptist Church in 1960.
By Sam James
Staff Writer

For the Rev. Mitchell Simpson,

remembering the legacy of his predecessors, both the good and the
bad, is of paramount importance.
In all candor, no matter how
powerful the person or the speech,
there is no legacy if the speech is not
remembered, he said.
Thats why at University Baptist
Church, the oldest fellowship hall is
named after Martin Luther King Jr.
In 1960, King came to Chapel Hill
and spoke at the invitation of Jim
Cansler, a Baptist chaplain at the
University at the time. Some of the
deacons were openly segregationist and opposed King speaking in a

white church, but others, like UNCsystem president emeritus Bill Friday,
pushed for him to come and speak.
Eventually, they compromised.
King would be allowed to come and
speak, but he would speak in the fellowship hall, not in the sanctuary.
At that time, not only the Baptists
were conflicted, but every congregation was conflicted, Simpson said.
Amidst the controversy, Wes
Schrader, the pastor of University
Baptist at the time, wanted to prepare a comfortable space for King.
George Bell was one of the few
people present at dinner the night
before the speech.
Bell recalls how the intimate setting put King at ease.
When he came in, he was wearing his signature three-piece suit
and a hat, he said. He was very formal, Dr. Schrader this, and Dr. King
that, but then he turned to me and
said George, call me Martin.
That was a bonding moment. If

I saw his ghost walking down the

street today, Id probably still call
him Martin.
Bell also recalls how after dinner,
the talk turned to theological matters.
It was like being back in divinity
school, he said.
That night, King voiced his struggles to reconcile his belief in the
goodness of people with the virulent
racism he and his wife, Coretta Scott
King, faced on a daily basis.
He said, You wouldnt believe
the phone calls I get, Bell said. I
am afraid for Coretta to answer the
phone.
Martin made us aware of what it
was like to be married and black.
Schrader says he hopes times will
continue to change for the better.
Somebody once asked Dr. King,
When will we have peace? Dr. King
responded, Not before the year
2000, Schrader said.
Right now, we as a church are
more attuned to Kings vision than we

made.

Saving daylight again

121 years of editorial freedom

The Daily Tar Heel

From staff and wire reports

ne would think that the age of smartphones and automatic

clocks would mean the days of waking up an hour early or
late because of daylight saving time would be over. But as
everyone knows, glitches can happily ruin all the progress
weve made in technology, and that exact thing happened this week.
Thousands of unhappy Australian residents were woken an hour early
after a technology glitch caused smartphones from two cellphone carriers
to switch back into daylight savings time. One of the companies tried to
make up for its blunder by offering free coffee to customers who showed
their phone. Unfortunately, there is no adequate compensation for a lost
hour of sleep. We college students know that all too well.
NOTED. A rug manufacturer printed a rug
for a sheriff in Pinellas County, Fla., with
a significant typo. The rug included the
phrase In Dog We Trust instead of the
more familiar In God We Trust. The real
blunder in all of this is not that this was
printed but that it took two months for
anyone to notice.

New sports bar

will open in 2015
Carolina Ale House will
fill the lot left by Yates
Motor Company.
By Zhai Yun Tan
Staff Writer

Chapel Hill sports fans sick

of crowded bars on game days
can welcome another addition to town later this year
with the opening of Carolina
Ale House.
The sports bar is set to
open in mid-to-late 2015, a
few months later than originally predicted.
It will be located at 419
W. Franklin St., in the former Yates Motor Company
building.
With more than 20 locations in the Southeast, the
Carolina Ale House brand is

known for allowing customers to dine while enjoying

games literally surrounded
by televisions.
There will be TVs everywhere you look, said Mindy
Stroupe, spokeswoman for
LM Restaurants, the parent
company of the Carolina Ale
House.
Carolina Ale House is
a sports bar concept with
scratch-made food and a family-friendly atmosphere.
Stroupe said the restaurant
doesnt yet have a set schedule for its opening, and the
date was extended because
LM Restaurants was focused
on launching a new location
in downtown Raleigh.
We just opened this week,
so now our focus will go to
Chapel Hill and Garner, our
next two locations, she said.

Weve just been waiting

said.
Were thrilled that the

on cyber

ing children later, Silberman said.

She said preventive health care
services given to children increased
college attendance for both sexes.
If youre healthy, you miss less
days in school. And if you miss less
days in school, your educational
outcomes are going to be better.

Hacks related to Sony and the

Twitter account for U.S. Central
Command have put cybersecurity at the
forefront of Americans minds and
President Barack Obama released a
series of proposals on Tuesday to bolster Internet safety.
The presidents proposal included
plans to promote information sharing
between the private and public sectors.
Chris Kielt, UNCs vice chancellor for
information technology, said he thinks
pooling resources about potential hacks
will benefit the American people.
Bringing together government and
some of the commercial sectors and
non-profit sectors would help defend
against cyber security threats, Kielt said.
He said it is becoming increasingly
difficult to keep up with cybersecurity.
It is a fast-moving space, he said.
Theres no question that this is a bit of an
arms race these days in the security state.
Obamas proposal also included
plans for improving how security
breaches are reported and helping
police better investigate cyber crime.
One specific piece of legislation proposed would target K-12 students data
security and ensure that data collected
in educational settings would be used
solely for educational purposes, as well
as preventing companies from using
that data to target advertising toward
students.
Holly Benton, UNCs interim chief
privacy officer, said the University
does a good job of protecting information but individuals have their own
responsibilities to protect sensitive
information.
One of the things thats great about
the presidential focus here is it gives a
national landscape in terms of, what do
each of us have in terms of to protect
and safeguard individually identifiable
information, she said.
Not everyone at UNC agrees with the
way sensitive information is handled
at the University. Winston Howes, a
senior at UNC, exposed security issues
at the University more than a year ago
and he said that most of the issues
have yet to be fixed.
Ive identified security holes in UNCs
systems, which would allow someone to
access anyone elses financial information
or grade information, Howes said. Ive
reported it to the University and very few
of them have been fixed.
Howes said cybersecurity is imperative, both at the university level and
worldwide.
The Internet has turned into one
of our primary mechanisms of communication. And as soon as that loses
its integrity, you start losing trust
between individuals and between
organizations, he said. If you take
data security away from the Internet,
then the Internet cannot function from
an economic standpoint or a social
standpoint.
As far as the proposal, Kielt said it
remains to be seen whether or not it
will be effective, but Obama is on the
right track.
The initial take on all of this is very
positive, but of course the devil will be
in the details about how this all this
plays out and how its done.

Mediterranean Deli employee Mohamed Jamili tends to the newly opened Mediterranean Market located within the restaurant on West Franklin Street.

Med Deli market brings fresh produce to Franklin Street

By Samantha Miner
Staff Writer

Franklin Streets Mediterranean Deli is now

a triple threat: restaurant, bakery and market.
Alongside the restaurant and bakery,
Mediterranean Deli opened its market next to
its existing location at 410 W. Franklin St. earlier this month. The market offers basic groceries like fresh produce, milk, bread and meats as
well as specialty items including pomegranate
molasses, halal meat, Israeli brine pickles and a
variety of spices and bulk dry goods.
Jamil Kadoura, the owner of Mediterranean
Deli, saw Chapel Hills need for a downtown
grocery store and filled it.
It completes the whole concept of
Mediterranean Deli in my opinion, Kadoura
said.
We started a small grill many years ago and
it just took off. Mediterranean Deli became an
operation here. Its not just a small restaurant.
Mandy Monath, a market shopper from

Raleigh, said she thinks the market is a great

addition because shoppers can get fresh grocery items while picking up something for dinner from the deli at the same time.
For a long time you havent been able to buy
a tomato on Franklin Street, Monath said.
Mediterranean Deli previously added a bakery and a separate gluten-free bakery to the
restaurant. Kadoura said customers are really
excited about the market, and business has
been better than expected in the week and a
half the market has been open.
The restaurant is going to help the market,
and the market is going to help the restaurant,
Kadoura said.
Meg McGurk, executive director of the
Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership, said while
creating Downtown Imagine, a Chapel Hill
community vision plan, she heard repeatedly
that residents wanted an urban grocery store
to accommodate the growing residential base
downtown.
The Mediterranean market really fits that

need, McGurk said. Its really hitting on what

people have been asking for. People want to be
able to live, work and play in one spot.
Downtown Imagine is a part of a downtown master plan for Chapel Hills future that
the downtown partnership is in the process of
creating.
Tala Goudarzi, a sophomore at UNC, said
she is happy to have a more authentic market
than Trader Joes or Harris Teeter so much
closer to where she lives.
I think its great that they finally opened a
market, Goudarzi said.
They have spices that you cant get anywhere else and they have these really good
yogurt drinks called doogh that you cant get
anywhere else besides the Caspian Market in
Raleigh, which is obviously very far away.
Also, I am just a huge fan of Med Deli,
Goudarzi said. It does add a literal spice to my
life.

Medicaid confers long-term benefits

A new working paper
found that investments
in the program pay off.
By Charles Talcott
Staff Writer

Offering Medicaid to children

can be a prudent investment, as the
Medicaid recipients are expected to
pay back more than half the costs
of the program through additional
income tax revenue later in life.
The National Bureau of
Economic Research released a
working paper on the long-term
effects of Medicaid expansion in
the 1980s and 1990s on income,
college attendance, mortality rate
and tax receipts.
The study comes as a number of
states including North Carolina
are reconsidering expanding
their Medicaid programs.
Its authors used tax records to
track children born between 1981
and 1984, but instead of evaluating
the early effects of Medicaid coverage for children, the study observed

the effects in early adulthood.

Amanda Kowalski, co-author
of the report and a Yale University
economics professor, said they found
that for every dollar the government
spent on providing Medicaid to
children, it recovered 14 cents by the
time those children reached age 28.
This study shows that previous
expansions in Medicaid eligibility to
children have led to higher tax payments in the long term, she said.
Kowalski said using future
income-tax payments, the government can recoup up to 56 percent
of its costs by the time the children
reach retirement age.
Adam Linker, co-director of the
left-leaning N.C. Justice Centers
health care project, said in an
email that Medicaid has a positive
impact on low-income families
lives, which this report reinforces.
In the 1990s Medicaid coverage expanded to more children
and pregnant women in response
to studies showing North Carolina
had one of the nations highest
infant mortality rates, he said.
It is uncertain how or if this study
will affect the conversation sur-

rounding the Affordable Care Act.

Many things have changed since
the expansions that we studied,
Kowalski said. It is hard to know
if these findings will generalize to
the expansion of Medicaid through
the Affordable Care Act because
expansions in Medicaid through
the Affordable Care Act will affect
adults as well as children.
The report also found that children who were in the Medicaid
program were less reliant on Earned
Income Tax Credit a tax credit
targeted to lower-income workers
as adults, attended college at higher
rates and had a lower mortality rate.
Both genders, especially women,
made more money by age 28 if
they were covered by Medicaid.
Kowalski said womens increased
career earnings were likely a result
of higher college participation rates.
Pam Silberman, professor at
the UNC Gillings School of Global
Public Health, said Medicaids
family planning services are particularly responsible for this effect.
That probably delayed unwanted
births, so they may have had fewer
births or they may have started hav-

RETURNS ON INVESTMENT
The working paper said Medicaid
helps pay for itself in the long run:

For every year until age 28 that

people qualified for Medicaid,
their individual tax payments
increased by $247.

Both genders relied less on

the Earned Income Tax Credit
$109 less for women, $41 less

Carrboro man takes One Love to California

inBRIEF

Call to Love festival will honor

Bob Marleys 70th birthday.

CAMPUS BRIEFS

By Kerry Lengyel
Staff Writer

Robert Roskind, owner of Oasis coffee

shop in Carr Mill Mall, believes that the lack
of love in the world is what has made living
in it so difficult.
Robert Roskind, a writer and man full
of love, is organizing A Global Call to Love
concert, which will be held Feb. 6 and 7 in
California and streamed for free worldwide.
The event is being hosted in celebration of
Bob Marleys 70th birthday.
It will feature several reggae artists and
speakers who all support the One Love
Foundations message.
While the event will take place in
California, anyone in the world can watch the
live stream online.
Ten years ago we did an event that was
broadcasted for the entire island of Jamaica,
Robert Roskind said.
Now were going to do one for the entire
planet.
Robert Roskind said he chose California
for the event because its the central vibration

of reggae where most of the fan base resides.

He said the event would hold about 1,000
people each night.
Robert Roskinds daughter, Alicia
Roskind, helped create the One Love
Foundation with her dad and now owns
her own yoga studio in Charlotte called
Okra.
She has helped host many of the foundations 200 One Love events, which have
been held all across the United States and in
Jamaica, since she was 14 years old.
The events consist of bringing artists into
inner city schools, Native American reservations, maximum-security prisons in North
Carolina and events for Bob Marleys birthday.
I feel that both my parents just raised me
to think and live in this One Love environment, said Alicia Roskind.
It has kept me really calm, level and balanced to where I know it has influence in
everything I do.
Besides spreading the message of Bob
Marley around the world, Robert Roskind
said he shares his calm and relaxing way of
life through his coffee shop, Oasis at Carr
Mill Mall.
I run the Oasis coffee house where all
during the week we have holistic speakers,

Whatever religion, or no religion, just remember that love

is the game.
Robert Roskind,
organizer of the One Love Foundation

he said. During the day its a very relaxed

coffee house with calm music.
Chris Reeder, a UNC student who grew up
in Chapel Hill, said that even though hes not
a coffee person, Oasis vibe makes it a great
place to hang out.
When I went, there was a guy playing
steel drums, Reeder said.
Not only was he playing them, but he was
teaching the audience, too.
Robert Roskind said he wants to continue
to spread his passion for unconditional love.
He is currently running an Indiegogo campaign to raise money for his organization so
that he can keep all of the One Love events
free of charge.
All of our events, and all of the 11 books,
are all geared toward one thing, he said.
Whatever religion, or no religion, just
remember that love is the game.

The University will publish its 223-page
response to its accrediting agency Tuesday, giving the Southern Association of Colleges and
Schools Commission on Colleges time to review
the information before the public sees it.
The University sent in its response on
Monday because of a letter sent from the agency in November that questioned UNCs integrity, as well as raising concerns over 17 other
possible policy violations.
The letter will be published on the Carolina

We all know the experience of living on campus cannot be

matched. Thats because you are just a few steps away
from classes, dining services, recreational facilities, and

7 Ways to Decorate a Small Space
Whether youre living in a residence hall on-campus or your first

1. Christmas Lights: Even

though December has
come and gone, your
holiday decorations
may still have some use.
Stringing up lights is a
great way to add both
color and ambiance to a
room because, lets face
it, nothing kills the mood
like fluorescent lighting.
2. Candles: FIRST AND
FOREMOST these
are not allowed in oncampus housing! With
that disclaimer out the
way, anyone living offcampus should be sure
to have a few candles
around your home. Just
like Christmas lights,
candles add a certain
aura, and as an added
benefit they smell nice.
3. Plants: Theyre like
pets, but less messy.
There are lots of plants
that are easy to maintain, even with the
hectic schedule of a UNC
student. Here are some
examples: aloe, English

ivy, jade plant and a

small rubber tree.
4. Pillows: Its easy to
think that the only place
for pillows is the bedroom. But that would
be false. Having a few
soft cushions for people
to rest against on your
furniture makes a huge
difference...especially
when those people are
staying over for unexpected visits!
5. Pictures: This seems
obvious. However, there
are a lot of cool things
you can do with pictures
besides putting them
in a frame and hanging
them on the wall (and
that is certainly not a bad
idea). You could cut out
your favorites and make
a collage, or you could
decoupage them onto a
table top! The possibilities are endless. For more
specific ideas, check out
Pinterest.
6. Antiques: Im sure that
when you read this, you

thought, Antiques are

for old people. And that
is totally understandable, but those are not
the antiques you should
be looking for. What you
need in your apartment
is more aptly called collectibles interesting
trinkets that have meaning to you. And if you
need some help finding
those trinkets, there are
excellent thrift shops in
Carrboro and Chapel Hill
to get you started.
7. Magazine Covers: This
is something that is incredibly cool and easy to
do. Magazine covers are
some of the best works
of art that pop culture
has to offer, and they
create a super funky vibe
when used as wallpaper.
And if youre strapped
for cash to get the actual
magazines, you could
always use copies of your

Danielle Butts elevates to starting role

The dynamic senior guard is already stepping up
By Pat James
Assistant Sports Editor

Senior guard Danielle Butts

begins clapping as the buzzer
sounds and each member of the
North Carolina womens basketball
team motions toward midcourt at
the end of Tuesdays practice.
Her teammates and coaches follow her, creating a resonant sound
throughout Carmichael Arena as
they huddle. Everyone except junior
forward Xylina McDaniel.
McDaniel, whos been sidelined
since Dec. 21 with a leg injury, gradually gets up from her seat and hobbles over on crutches. Its an arduous
task for the booted forward.
Shes the last one to make it to the
huddle, and upon McDaniels arrival, Butts counts down from three to
bring the clapping to a halt and give
Coach Sylvia Hatchell the floor.
You know, this is a crucial time
for our team, Hatchell tells them.
At this moment, the No. 10 Tar
Heels are in the thick of ACC play,
and Thursdays contest against No.
7 Notre Dame a game UNC lost
89-79 was one of their biggest to
date and the first against a ranked
opponent without their All-ACC
forward.
As Hatchell continues, McDaniel
begins to wobble. Her arms tremble.
She appears slightly unstable on her
crutches, looking out of place after a
practice she couldnt join. The 6-foot2 forward looks set for a sharp fall.
But suddenly, a hand reaches
out and grabs her arm. McDaniel
regains her balance. She lifts her
head to see its Butts supporting her.
Butts teammates have always
looked to her for such support. And
after serving as the Tar Heels cata-

lyst off the bench for the past two

seasons, the explosive guard has
assumed McDaniels position in the
starting lineup. Her coach and her
teammates need her possibly now
more than ever.
Whatever Coach needs me to do,
whatever my team needs me to do,
Ill do it, she said. Whatever we
need to do as a team and a program
in order to be successful and win a
game, Im fine with.
Butts is whatever she needs to be
whatever her team needs her to be.
She always has been.

An athletic advantage
Before she raced up and down the
basketball court or flew into the air
to grab rebounds, Butts displayed
her skills as a track and field athlete.
When she moved from Chesapeake,
Va., to rural Winterville, N.C. located just south of Greenville in the
second grade, Butts had yet to pick up
a basketball. She wouldnt start playing the sport until the fifth grade.
She continued running track until
the end of high school, receiving
multiple accolades in the process.
As a senior at South Central High
School, she won the state 3A track
championship MVP after winning
the high jump, triple jump, 4x100and 4x200-meter relays.
While track and field wasnt the
sport shed ultimately choose to compete in at the collegiate level, the similarities between it and basketball in
terms of required athleticism allowed
her to hone her talents.
Everything just started morphing together and kind of put me at
an advantage, she said.
An advantage she utilizes for both
herself and her team.

A natural competitor
Robert Duck became Butts basketball coach in the seventh grade
and coached her through her senior
year of high school. He remembers
meeting the agile sixth grader a year
before she joined the team.
She was very springy, long and
could run like a deer, he said.
She got up and down the floor,
and she could jump. She could jump
a little higher than most of the girls
in the sport at that time and she ran
the floor harder and better than a lot
of people.
From the moment Butts stepped
on the floor, she made an impact. It
was a part of the competitive nature
both Duck and Hatchell rave about.
Much like she does for UNC,
Butts brought energy and emotion
to her middle school and high school
teams hustling after loose balls,
playing aggressive defense and leaping for rebounds.
It elevates every girl around her to
play, Duck said. They want to get on
the floor a little harder, they want to
run the floor a little faster, and they
want to box out a little bit better.
And there never was a stopping
point especially after realizing her
chances of playing collegiately.
Butts would wake up in the morning before school and run. Duck
recalls getting calls from her pleading
for him or one of the other coaches
to let her in the gym at 6:45 a.m. the
next day, getting in two or three extra
practices a week due to her diligence.
You see that and you knew you
had something, because you had
a girl that just wanted to succeed,
Duck said.
She wanted to do everything
right, and she wanted to do it as

Senior guard Danielle Butts gets ready for practice on Thursday. Butts is now in
North Carolinas starting lineup after forward Xylina McDaniel injured her leg.

many times as she could, she wanted

to get as many reps in as she could.
Basketball became 24/7. And her
hard work paid off.
By her senior season, Butts was
one of ESPNs top 100 recruits in
the nation. She lived up to expecta-

tions, carrying her team to a state

championship and earning herself a
third all-tournament team selection
in the process.
But that wasnt the crowning

WOMENS BASKETBALL: NOTRE DAME 89, NORTH CAROLINA 79

Mavunga foul was the beginning of the end

UNC couldnt keep
up its momentum
against Notre Dame.
By Brendan Marks
Assistant Sports Editor

It was just a little tug.

So quick, so instinctive
Stephanie Mavunga just
couldnt help herself. But that
pull on a Notre Dame jersey
sealed the 89-79 loss for the
No. 12 North Carolina womens
basketball team.
Were extremely disappointed, said Coach Sylvia
Hatchell. About all I can say.
With 8:43 left in the second
half, UNC trailed No. 7 Notre
Dame 71-62. Sophomore
Allisha Gray, who missed most
of the first half with an upper

calf injury, drove hard to the

left side of the basket.
Rejected.
But Mavunga was waiting,
ready to scoop up the loose
ball. She went up for the layup
from right beneath the rim.
Denied.
Somehow she held onto the
ball. The put-back?
Blocked.
This time she lost control,
on and off the court. The ball
slipped off Mavungas fingers
and bounced toward the baseline. A Notre Dame player
grabbed the rebound, Mavunga
pulled the back of her numbers
and a whistle blew.
Then, Carmichael Arena
fell apart.
Boos rained down from the
stand. Hatchell, red in the face
and shaking, stomped all the
way to midcourt, jawing with

every official along the way.

It is what it is, she said.
While a soap opera was
unfolding with Hatchell,
Mavunga was a different story.
She knew, as soon as she had
done it, that it was a foul. So
she yelled and she screamed
and she shook her fist in the
air, but it was still a foul.
If you continue to argue
youre gonna get a technical foul, so youve just really
got to calm down out there,
Mavunga said. Its frustrating
of course, but theres nothing
you can do about it.
So UNC (15-3, 2-2 ACC)
fought back. Down by as many
as 14 at one point in the second half, the Tar Heels slowly
chipped away at the lead. But it
was too late.
Gray drained a deep three,
then stole the ball and was

fouled going for a layup. She

drained both free throws and
pulled UNC back to within five.
Jamie Cherry made another three a few minutes later.
Now it was just two.
And then Mavunga, the one
who had started it all, figured
she might as well hock up a
three, too. So she did. It went
in. Notre Dame (16-2, 4-1
ACC), 78, UNC, 77, with four
and a half minutes to play.
But that was all the Tar
Heels had to give. They
wouldnt score again until
there was less than a minute
left, the game far out of reach.
We definitely thought we
were going to recover from the
deficit, Gray said. But I dont
know. Stuff happens I guess.
When the final whistle
sounded, the result had been
fixed for a while. UNC made it

close, but the game had been

over for almost nine minutes.
Ever since that tug.
You know, I thought we

Too much inside for the Tar Heels

Notre Dame scored
46 points in the paint
in Thursdays game.
By C Jackson Cowart
Staff Writer

Eyes red and head down,

Stephanie Mavunga was
distraught.
After finishing with 13
points in 35 minutes, the disheartened forward couldnt
point the finger at anybody
but herself.
And perhaps the referees.
Notre Dame finished with
46 points in the paint and
22 from the free throw line,
surviving a furious North
Carolina rally to pull away for
an 89-79 road win Thursday.
Mavunga who shot 5-of15 from the field missed
plenty of opportunities that
she felt ought to have been
converted.
I dont necessarily think
their defense flustered me as
I flustered myself, said the
sophomore forward, who
went 2-for-8 in the first half.
It wasnt really the fact that
their defense was that good,
but its the fact that I just
really rushed a shot or really
didnt focus on the shots.
Conversely, Irish forward
Brianna Turner tied career
highs with 29 points and
seven blocks and grabbed a

career-high 18 rebounds.
Shes just good at finishing around the basket and
her teammates know how to
pass her the ball down low,
Mavunga said. The refs called
a lot of fouls. She scored on me
nine points off of free throw
attempts, she also missed a
lot of free throws. That also
helped.
The raucous Carmichael
Arena crowd agreed passionately disputing many fouls
throughout the game as the
Irish went to the line 30 times.
And after finishing with
four fouls herself, Mavunga
most definitely felt that
Notre Dame benefitted from
the whistle.
You just gotta push them
under the basket, but then
when you do that the refs
wanna call a foul, she said,
after Turner finished with
16 free throw attempts. Just
because were so aggressive,
thats another thing that the
refs were calling. But then at
the same time theyre aggressive, so I feel like it should go
both ways.
Of course its gonna be
frustrating, especially if you
dont think it was really a foul
call.
Despite the Tar Heels disputes regarding questionable
calls, Coach Sylvia Hatchell
knows that officiating is no
excuse for the result.
Youve got to be as tough

and physical as youre allowed

to be, she said. We werent
as tough as we needed to be.
Without the Preseason
All-ACC forward Xylina
McDaniel, who is out indefinitely with a lower leg injury,
North Carolina simply didnt

have enough post presence

to deter the Notre Dame
onslaught.
(Xylina) was a force in
there, shed put you on the
10th floor of the bleachers
and look at you, Hatchell
said. Im not going to make

excuses, but her presence

would definitely with how
physical she is have made a
big difference.
The Fighting Irish abused
the paint all night long, forcing the ball inside against
the Tar Heels four-guard

lineup.
They beat us with oldtimey basketball, Hatchell
said. High-low feed and the
pick and roll. And they were
successful with it.

Students to protest research institute cuts

By Olivia Bane
Staff Writer

Black-clad UNC students

are planning to sit in on the
UNC Board of Governors
meeting on Friday in Chapel
Hill to show support for the
University centers that are
under review for termination
or funding cuts.
Thirty-four UNC-system
centers are under review,
including nine at UNCChapel Hill. The UNC BOG
Democracy Coalition, an
organization that was started
in September 2014, is organizing Fridays sit-in.
On Friday, we want to
remind the BOG that students are still aware of their
impending decision, and well
be there to have a presence
of students and show that we
care about the decisions they
make for our University, said

Emilio Vicente, a senior and

one of the founders of the
coalition.
The coalition has collected
more than 2,500 signatures
on a petition asking the BOG
to stop plans to cut funding
or terminate UNC-system
research and advocacy centers.
I think a lot of these centers help make the campus a
safe space, which historically,
it hasnt been for everyone,
said senior Catherine Crowe,
a sit-in participant.
The final decision regarding the centers statuses
was originally planned for
this week, but it has been
postponed until the boards
February meeting in
Charlotte.
UNC students are already
making plans to go to the
meeting in February.
Were definitely going
to try to have a handful of

students go to Charlotte,
Vicente said. Of the 34 UNC
centers under review, nine are
in Chapel Hill and none are
in Charlotte.
Centers and institutes
working group chairman, Jim
Holmes, declined to comment
while board member, Steven
Long, did not respond to
request to comment.
I cant be sure of this, but
since the Chapel Hill students
have made a big statement
against the BOG so far, it may
have made them more likely
to postpone their meeting,
said Dinesh McCoy, co-president of the Campus Y.
Our campus wont be fulfilling its mission as a public
university if these centers are
terminated, McCoy said.
For the most part, these
centers are ones that deal
with issues of diversity, or in
case of the Womens Center,

sexual assault and prevention.

If those arent the priorities
of the University, then I dont
think the University has the
right priorities.
Vicente said the coalitions
original goal was to unite students in petitioning the board
and engage more students in

the boards decision-making

process.
About 30 students came to
the December BOG meeting
that took place during finals,
so (the BOG) can see that students care, Vicente said.

The centers and institutes

under review at UNC are:

Service
Carolina Womens Center
UNC Center for Faculty
Excellence
Center for Law and Government
Center on Poverty, Work

Two virtual charter schools set to debut in NC

By Michael Liguori
Staff Writer

Online education is trickling down from universities

to the K-12 level and North
Carolina will soon experiment
with this unusual method of
public education, in the form of
two virtual charter schools.
Both schools are on course
to be fully approved to open
for students in 2015.
Matt Ellinwood, an education policy analyst at the leftleaning N.C. Justice Center,
predicts that by the fourth
year of the pilot program, each
school could cost taxpayers
$30 million to $45 million,
depending on enrollment rates.

moment of her senior year.

What you work for

Butts sits at a table at South
Central in front of her schools
trophy case, a plethora of UNC
apparel laid out in front of her.
Its Feb. 2, 2011, the day
she signs her National Letter
of Intent to play basketball
at UNC the school shes
always wanted to go to, where
she will play for a coach shes
always admired.
She looks around the room,
and the two most influential
people in her life her mother and father, with whom shes
made countless trips to Chapel
Hill are all she focuses on.
I remember seeing tears
on my mom and dads faces,
she recalls. To see they were
that proud is what you work
for. Just making your parents
happy was the greatest feeling
about that.
It was at UNCs basketball
camp a few years before when
Butts first officially met her
future head coach.

A charter school is publicly

funded by state and local
taxes, but is run by a private,
non-profit board of directors.
They have general autonomy
from public administration,
but they are free for students
and offer open enrollment.
There are currently 148
charter schools in North
Carolina, and two applicants are on their way to full
approval North Carolina
Connections Academy, and
North Carolina Virtual
Academy. Both schools are
subsidiaries of the for-profit
companies Pearson PLC and
K12, Inc., respectively.
If virtual charter schools do
fit the needs of some students,

such as those being homeschooled or highly competitive

athletes, then UNC Assistant
Director of Admissions Ashley
Memory said they do not need
to worry.
We would not disadvantage a student if they took
online classes, Memory said.
We applaud options that let
students have more flexibility
with their coursework.
UNC education professor
Nick Cabot taught high school
science for 15 years and was
an early enthusiast of bringing
computers to the classroom
but he said he remains skeptical of a fully virtual school.
My personal perspective is
that you learn science by doing

As she and her father stood

in line to register for the
camp, Hatchell emerged from
the Granville Towers cafeteria. The Hall of Fame coach
turned her head and recognized the young player.
Butts said she froze.
I was so scared. I was
so surprised like, She knew
my name? Oh my God, she
spoke.
Hatchell and associate head
coach Andrew Calder had
been keeping tabs on the lively
guard from Winterville.
I just saw that potential
she had as far as her athleticism, but also how we like to
play, Hatchell said. I felt like
it was a good fit.
It just took some adjusting
to get it right.

While dealing with the

greater physicality in the college game and conditioning
drills that shocked the former
track star, Butts contemplated
her role and how she could
help the team.
Coming in freshman year,
youre always indecisive
what position are you going
to play, what do they need me
to do? she said.
There was pressure to
adjust, but I just wanted
everything to come to me. I
knew that I had to learn a lot,
so I wasnt mad. I got frustrated, but I wasnt mad. I let
the teaching run its course.
Hatchell played her at multiple positions throughout the
season even throwing her
in at power forward despite
her being shorter than most
players at the position.
And its at that position
where the 5-foot-10 guard has
excelled the past two seasons,
using her speed to blow past
bigger defenders and defining her role as according
to Hatchell the best sixth
player in the ACC.
I love being the energy
coming off of the bench and

Defining her role

After finishing her high
school career as the programs
all-time leading scorer and
rebounder, Butts was flung into
UNCs rotation the moment
she stepped on campus.
But it was a different role
than she was accustomed to
a bench player.

You learn science

by doing science
its really hard to do
hands-on virtually.
Nick Cabot,
UNC education professor

science, Cabot said. You have

to get hands-on, and its really
hard to do hands-on virtually.
He added that this process
of learning is difficult for
younger learners, especially,
though adults are better able to
handle virtual education.
I think you can do that with
students who have already
learned how to learn, he said.
helping my team, Butts said.
I do all the little things,
get emotional, get excited,
dive for those balls, encourage
my teammates.
When her team needs her
energy the most or someone is hurt, Butts is the one
Hatchell calls on. The coach
told her that would be the
case her freshman year.
I said, Youre going to
have lots of hats to wear and
a lot of different roles, she
said. Its just a matter of
what we need and when we
need it.
That time is now Butts
is ready to move into a regular starting position.
I had no problem coming
off of the bench and giving
my team energy, and I have
no problem with starting,
Butts said. Ill do anything to
help my team.
Whether its as a spark plug
off the bench, a member of
the starting lineup or a support system for her team, she
will be whatever her teams
needs her to be.
She always has been.
sports@dailytarheel.com

Ellinwood said that while

traditional charter schools
do as well as their public
counterparts, virtual charter schools do not. They are
producing alarmingly small
student achievement gains
where they are operating.
A Stanford University
study of all charter schools in
Pennsylvania ranked students
on whether they performed
significantly better, worse
or the same as their public
school counterparts. The
results were mixed in brickand-mortar schools, but all
eight virtual charter schools
in Pennsylvania performed
significantly worse in math
and reading than their public

school counterparts.
Ellinwood pointed out
that a number of virtual
charter schools in Colorado,
Tennessee and Pennsylvania
have ended contracts with
K12, Inc. He also said the
potential cost of the schools
could take away limited state
funds from other priorities.
Charter schools pull money
from state taxes as well as from
their local county. This amount
increases as more students
enter a school.
We just dont have money
available to experiment on
these unproven interventions,
Ellinwood said.

The Daily Tar Heel

This is Ann Powers: NPR critic, lecturer

By Christine Bang

We try and take these

individuals from different
geographies, institutions and
areas of interest, Ross said.
Ann has an interesting
point of view as a pop music
critic, so shes really able to
bring to the UNC department
an interesting perspective
that also overlaps with student and faculty interest of
the coursework and projects
happening in our program.
A Seattle native, Powers
started her music journalism
career writing for an alternative weekly paper when she
was in high school and has
written about music ever since.
When I was a kid, I loved
music and I loved writing pretty much in equal
amounts, she said.
Powers said she didnt have
the talent nor the discipline to
pursue music as a career, but
enjoyed writing. So she fused
these two interests.

Staff Writer

Ann Powers is nationally

known for her expertise on
the newest and coolest music,
but she credits music with the
coolest praise of all bridging
the generational gap between
her and her daughter.
Powers said she enjoys talking to younger generations
about music, which is what
shell be doing today as part
of the Carolina Symposia in
Music and Culture as she gives
a lecture entitled Blurred
Lines: Pop, Technology, and
the Soft Self in 21st-century
America.
Megan Ross, member of
the symposia committee and
musicology graduate student
at UNC, said the Carolina
Symposia in Music and Culture
is a graduate-run committee
that selects scholars to lecture
throughout the year.

I wanted to figure out why

I liked music so much and why
others did too, Powers said.
Powers said her experiences living in various regions
of the country have really
helped her understand music
at a deeper level than if she
had stayed in one place.
Powers studied and worked
in San Francisco and then
followed her career to New
York, Seattle and Los Angeles.
When her husband accepted a
teaching job at the University
of Alabama, they moved to
Tuscaloosa, where she works
for NPR Music.
Christa Gala, adjunct
professor in the UNC School
of Journalism and Mass
Communication, said young
journalists could benefit from
the lecture.
Its always a good idea and
a benefit to hear from someone who works for a wellrespected organization like

NPR, she said.

Gala hopes that Powers
diverse experiences will appeal
to a variety of students.
Its great for all journalism students that go here, but
also women because shes a
woman whos succeeding in
the field and the majority of
students at the J-School are
women, Gala said.
Powers has never visited
Chapel Hill before, but she
said she is excited to see
UNCs renowned Southern
Folklore archives and explore
the local music scene.
I really like to come speak
to college students because
theyre the most engaged when
thinking about how music
relates to culture, Powers said.
I love connecting with college-age music lovers because
theyre the most powerful
thinkers on the subject.

Students 50 years of computer science

buoy arts
attendance
By Liz Bell
Staff Writer

Buttressed by the power of

UNCs arts classes, art programs in the area are bucking a
trend in a new report from the
National Endowment for the
Arts, which reveals attendance
for arts and cultural events
dropped in the decade leading
up to 2012.
On Monday, the NEA
released a series of reports on
select arts like classical music,
jazz, theater, ballet and art
museums with a focus on
supply, demand and motivations for consumer behavior.
Tonu Kalam, conductor for
the UNC Symphony Orchestra,
said he doesnt see the national
data as discouraging.
It is a sign of things
changing. Some things are
always going to be the same
such as audiences going to be
a certain age range, he said.
For the 2013-14 Carolina
Performing Arts season, there
was a 36 percent growth in
average number of attendees
per performance from 2012-13
and 10 percent growth in average number of UNC student
attendees per performance.
We are lucky because we
are in a college campus, rich
cultural area, and get audience support it is inspiring
and makes our work worthwhile, said Mark Nelson,
spokesman for the Carolina
Performing Arts.
Nelson said students have
made up 37 percent of total
audiences for CPA events in
this academic year.
Through programs like Arts
at the Core, UNC students are
required to go to performances
as part of courses and receive

free tickets to the events.

Forty-three classes have
attended at least one performance in 2014-15, up from 22
classes in 2012-13.
Attendance numbers at the
Ackland Art Museum from
the fall have also increased,
with attendance up 7.5 percent, said spokeswoman
Emily Bowles.
Kalam said half the UNC
Symphony Orchestra is nonmusic majors. Even if they are
not becoming professionals,
they will become future audience members, donors and
supporters of the arts, he said.
Sunil Iyengar, the NEAs
director of research & analysis,
said these reports will be useful in helping managers and
policy makers cultivate more
public engagement in the arts
offering tangible evidence
of the arts importance to the
nations economy, while allowing industry leaders to monitor
the health of the arts sector.
For the first time in the
NEAs Survey of Public
Participation in the Arts,
researchers asked people
whether they had attended the
arts in childhood. They found
adults who attended performing arts or visited art museums
as children were, as adults,
three to four times more likely
to do so as those who did not.
Arts and cultural production contributes threequarters of a trillion dollars to
the GDP. The arts represent
50 percent of the creative
economy, Iyengar said. And
these numbers arise from
large numbers of Americans
creating and enjoying the arts
every day.

When former computer

science professor John Smith
came to UNC in 1966 as an
English graduate student
interested in computer science, there were two computers in the area.
One was in the basement
of Phillips Hall. The other,
in Research Triangle Park,
filled a room the size of a basketball court and held only a
half-megabyte of data an
average iPhone can hold more
than 32,000 times as much
information.
This academic year, the
Department of Computer
Science is celebrating its 50th
birthday. Founded in 1964 by
Frederick Brooks, it was one of
the first independent computer
science programs in the nation.
People dont realize it
was actually a big debate
whether it even made sense to
teach computer science, said
Department Chairman Kevin
Jeffay.
Jeffay said the department
has made significant progress
in population, infrastructure
and access to technology in
the last half-century.
The department started

Powell wins bet with rival president

By Sarah Kaylan Butler
Staff Writer

Thanks to Marcus Paige

and the efforts of the rest of
the mens basketball team in
their game against N.C. State
on Wednesday, UNC Student
Body President Andrew
Powells mirror wont be seeing red for the rematch.
Powell won the friendly
wager he made with N.C.
State Student Body President
Rusty Mau and will not have
to wear N.C. States colors
when the teams meet again
on Feb. 24.
I just texted him typical
trash talk on the day of the
game and said, Hey man,
looking forward to Carolina
winning tonight. Hope youre
ready, Powell said. I proposed the idea for whoever
loses, they have to wear the
colors of the other team for
the day of the rematch.
On Feb. 24, Mau will have
to wear Carolina Blue all day.
Hes going to wear a
Carolina T-shirt that very
explicitly is Carolina blue,
Powell said. No question
about it. Im going to make
sure that I get pictures and
document that through and
through. Secretly, I think hes
looking forward to it because
he gets to wear a much more
attractive color for a day.
Mau has been a good sport
about the wager result.

boards February meeting at

UNC-Charlotte.
The committee meeting also
included a lively discussion of
a proposed campus security fee
of $30 per UNC-system student. A vote on the fee was ultimately tabled until February.
Most committee members
agreed that campuses need
additional funds to retain officers, hire trained investigators
and comply with federal Title
IX and Clery Act standards.
Were facing a completely
new way of doing business
when it comes to sexual
assault on campuses, said
UNC-system President Tom
Ross. This is about students
and protecting them, but its
also about our staff.
There was consideration of
raising the fee to $40 or $50
per student, which would allow
for more robust salary increas-

Rusty Mau,
N.C. States
student body
president, will
wear Carolina
Blue when
UNC plays N.C.
State next.

Andrew
Powell, UNCs
student body
president, won
a bet that UNC
would beat
N.C. State on
Wednesday.

I knew the game would be

close, I knew we had a really
great shot to win, as referenced by the score, Mau said.
But it would have been much
sweeter if Andrew were going
to be wearing red and white
the day of the game in Chapel
Hill.
Powell said even though
the game was close, he was
never nervous.
We have Marcus Paige,
and Marcus Paige 100 percent owns N.C. States arena,
Powell said. (He) dominates
that court day and night, so
I had no doubt that we were
in good hands playing N.C.
State.
Powell said if UNC had
lost, he would have honored
the deal.
I would have had to borrow a State shirt from someone else because obviously I
dont own any of that clothing.
It would have been tough. Im
pleased that we won, he said.
Mau said he thinks Powell
secretly wants to wear red
and white.
Theres a reason we all
bleed red, Mau said.

Powell said he and Mau

became friends during the
summer at a student leadership event in Washington, D.C.
We talked about playing
golf one time. We havent
played yet, but Im sure were
both pretty busy, Powell said.
Before Mau enrolled at N.C.
State, he was accepted to and
considered attending UNC.
I have never paid for
Carolina paraphernalia in my
life, Mau said. I did receive
a free Carolina T-shirt when I
visited as a high school senior,
and this will be the perfect
opportunity to wear that shirt.
South Moore, president
of UNCs Order of the Bell
Tower, said this type of wager
is not a tradition.
It is really interesting to me
whenever I work with alumni,
though, and were singing the
alma mater to see the difference in age of people who,
when they choose to condemn
somebody, they choose Duke or
State, Moore said.
Older generations, he said,
tend to choose N.C. State.

es for campus police officers.

Hannah Gage, board member emeritus, noted that many
other fees, namely athletics
fees, dont usually get as much
scrutiny as the campus security
fee has gotten. Athletic fees at
seven system schools would top
$700 per student next school
year under the proposal.
Board member Marty
Kotis said he thinks additional money for campus security
should be pulled from existing university sources instead
of putting the burden on students and their parents.
I dont like raising fees,
said board member Peter
Hans. But I know resources
are needed.
McCoy said he wished board
members had showed more
concern about increasing fees.
The only option that they
see as feasible is raising costs
on students.

House, he said. The bathroom doubled as a copy
room and employees had
a system to designate what
they were using the room for.
Now, the department spans
across two buildings.
The technology available on
campus has also grown in an
unbelievable way, Jeffay said.
Now each computer science building has hundreds of
computers.
If you would have told
somebody that back then, they
wouldnt believe you, he said.
Smith said he most remembers the camaraderie between
faculty and students during
the departments first years.
A half-century later, senior
computer science major
Winston Howes said his
favorite part of the department is the same as Smiths:
the collaborative environment between professors and
students.
He said as a freshman he
went to his professor with an
idea for a computer security
startup called GoPhish. His
professor mentored him on the
project for the next two years.
That instance had the biggest impact on where I am
models from other districts.

Moving forward
According to the guiding
principles they have established so far, CHCCS new pay
model must reward teachers
for exceptional performance,
motivate staff to participate
in professional development
activities and better align
compensation with the districts strategic goals.
LoFrese said he hopes that
encouraging and rewarding
teachers for engaging in professional development will
help eliminate achievement
gaps among students.
I think people would look
at the current model and say

now, he said.
If the professor said, I
dont really have time for
it, I wouldve given up on
the project. It dramatically changed how I approach
computer science. It fueled a
passion in me for it.
Jeffay said he predicts
computer science will, at the
same time, be everywhere but
also seem to disappear.
People will focus on the
fact that this is a thermostat,
this is a car, this is a smart
phone. A Tesla, for example,
is a giant computer with an
electric motor, he said.
The revolution that is com-

ing is going to be ubiquity

processing and communication
is just going to be everywhere.
Jeffay said what makes
UNCs computer science
department so unique is that
it seems to be the Universitys
best-kept secret.
Were an engineering
department on a liberal arts
campus. People come to campus and have certain expectations about the research
we do. But weve done very
aggressive engineering.
When people come here,
theyre blown away by that.

it doesnt support what were

trying to do, he said.
The team submitted a
draft outline to the General
Assembly on Wednesday and
plans to share a final version of
the model with the community
in March and present it for the
Board to consider for approval
in April or May.
LoFrese said it is possible
the plan will be adopted by
the state in July and receive
funding, but if not, the district
will still implement it using
the local teacher salary supplement. The General Assembly
said it might fund seven to
eight pilot programs; the
CHCCS district plans to ask for
that funding.
LoFrese said using only

the local supplement to fund

differentiated pay will limit
the districts ability to make
significant changes to salaries, but he hopes the new
model will motivate teachers
to improve their teaching
and have a positive impact
on students.
Right now, the great
majority of employees in the
model are in the position
where theyre saying, Im not
gonna see a significant increase
until Ive been here for 15 years,
maybe 20 years, he said. I
think a big change that will
come out of this is that there
will be opportunities to allow
people to move forward.

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR

Keep

news

he good thing about

being in the news business is that you know
about most things before your
friends do.
The bad thing about being
a millennial in the news business is that sometimes your
friends just dont care.
And this is a tragedy, really,
for the both of us. I spend all
my time trying to publish a
newspaper that is relevant
and entertaining, and theres a
chance you might still ignore it.
And for you, missing out on
the days news could mean you
dont know about a problem
soon enough to solve it.
Take the recent debate on
contextualized grading. After
almost a decade of work by
teachers and administrators, a
plan to implement contextualized grades on transcripts in
the fall was put on hold.
For one thing, Chris
Derickson, the university registrar, said he was worried his
office wouldnt be ready to roll
out the new transcripts so soon.
But the biggest pushback
came from Student Body
President Andrew Powell, who
said students told him they
werent informed about the
coming changes.
Readers of our newspaper
would have known about the
changes from stories dating
back to July 2013. (We wrote
stories before that, but this was
the first time we gave an actual
timeline for implementation
at UNC.)
We had several stories run
last semester letting students
know the new system was on
track to be implemented on
fall 2014 transcripts, and this
editorial board ran a lengthy
albeit a little silly piece
explaining why we were in
favor of contextualized grades.
Hell, even The New York
Times did a profile on Andy
Perrin, the professor behind
the proposed grading system,
replete with lengthy explanations of what the new transcripts would look like.
So while students are completely within their rights to
protest contextualized grading and please do, because
it makes for great news I
respectfully reject the idea that
there wasnt enough information circulated about the new
initiative.
Its my job to make this
newspaper so relevant that you
cant help but pick it up in the
mornings. And I take that job
very seriously.
But as students who spend
much of your time at this university preparing to be good
citizens of the world, its your
job to read your newspaper,
and more than just the fun
stories we write about naked
people running through the
halls of Carroll (but read those
too, please).
Theres still one cohort that
I have yet to address, and thats
the faithful readers who have
followed the contextualized
grading debate and many others through the pages of our
newspaper.
I cant tell you how much
I appreciate your readership.
And while Id love for you to
share this column with your
friends, Id love it even more if
you shared that the Board of
Governors will discuss a proposal to raise tuition today.
So please pick up a paper
today. Pass it around. And stay
informed.

An honest remembrance
Martin Luther
Kings dream is still
a long way off.

ainstream conversations about

Martin Luther
King Jr.s legacy rarely
acknowledge the historical truth that King was a
political radical.
While King was a graduate student, he explained
in an autobiographical
sketch that his present
anti-capitalistic feelings
came from witnessing
bread lines of the Great
Depression. In the final
year of Kings life, he led a
Poor Peoples Campaign,
bemoaned the comparatively massive amount
of federal funding being
spent on the Vietnam war
instead of federal programs to eliminate poverty, and called for a radical
redistribution of political
and economic power.
In a recent email,
Chancellor Carol Folt
called on Tar Heels to
participate in Martin
Luther King Jr. Day either
by attending one of the
several events on campus
or reflecting privately on
what Dr. King meant to
this country and what we

can do to honor his legacy

today.
Members of this community should heed Folts
call to do so, but when
they do, they should
engage honestly with
Kings full legacy.
To do so, members of
this community must
acknowledge Kings wider
moral perspective on
American politics and
life, which he articulated at Western Michigan
University in 1963: I
never intend to become
adjusted to segregation
and discrimination. I never
intend to become adjusted
to religious bigotry. I never
intend to adjust myself to
economic conditions that
will take necessities from
the many to give luxuries
to the few. I never intend
to adjust myself to the
madness of militarism, to
self-defeating effects of
physical violence.
King was not merely a
figurehead who articulated
a dream of equality at a
march on Washington, nor
was he just a great leader
who helped to drive the
passage of two of the greatest pieces of law in the
nations history.
He was a prophetic
moral force who risked his

life and advocated against

the very evils that most
affect the United States in
the present.
Manifestations of racism plague the nation in
the form of mass incarceration, economic discrimination and physical violence. Economic inequality is more severe now than
when King fought against
it. Examples of religious
bigotry can be seen every
night on cable news. The
Cold War has ended, but
the United States retains
an overly violent foreign
policy.
But King was part of a
movement much larger
than himself, one whose
lifeblood came from a
large and diverse cast of
people who were vastly
more important than one
man could ever be.
Students should reflect
on Kings piercing moral
vision, but they should also
realize that the achievement of a more just world
requires the commitment
of a broad movement of
the people, not just a few
eloquent leaders.
We should all remember Kings radical vision
for justice in America and
take broad-based action to
fulfill it.

The politics of drinking

Alcohol policy
should face up to
power imbalances.

etting drunk is a
central part of the
college experience
for many students. It has
been for a very long time,
and despite the best efforts
of administrators, police
and parents, it likely will be
for the foreseeable future.
Our goal, then, should
be to mitigate the negative effects of binge drinking rather than outlaw
its practice altogether,
although it should be discouraged wherever possible. Undesirable products
of the status quo include
sexual assault, bullying and
alcohol poisoning. These
could be alleviated in part
by a revised, even-handed
approach to the enforcement of alcohol laws.
Student Affairs efforts to
confront the worst of binge
drinking must begin with
a thorough examination of
the power dynamics at play
who provides alcohol,
who receives it and who
controls the places where it
is most easily accessed.
By and large, and especially in the case of freshmen, fraternity houses

remain the cheapest and

most reliable places to
drink with the lowest risk
of legal consequence. In
many cases, they provide
direction to new students
who havent yet found other
places to party or means of
procuring alcohol. In the
unlikely event that police
are summoned to a fraternity party, citations are rare.
This, in itself, is not
damaging, but the fact
that such leniency is provided only to a single set
of institutions provides
those institutions with
undue power as gatekeepers for alcohol, which will
always be in high demand.
The danger implicit in
this arrangement is inherent to fraternities place in
the landscape of alcohol
enforcement rather than to
fraternities themselves.
Administrators must
acknowledge that no single
policy will cull students
collective desire to drink,
which has proven over
time to be especially adept
at finding an outlet. New
approaches should aim to
channel this desire into
safer spaces where students
have more control of their
bodies and their drinks.
Expanding alcohols
availability would be politi-

cally unpopular, but allowing students who choose to

drink to do so on their own
terms is a far safer alternative to any situation in
which a distinct subgroup
of students is arbitrarily
given such significant leverage over another.
Such leverage has the
potential to increase the
likelihood of unwanted
sexual advances made out
of the assumption that the
provision of free alcohol
requires reciprocation in
one form or another.
We believe these are
noble aims but recognize
that they arent easily
attained. While a reduction of the drinking age to
18 would be a most elegant
solution, we recognize
that it is, at least for now,
unlikely to happen.
In the meantime, town
and campus police could
stand to issue fewer citations to underage drinkers
in general. Otherwise,
alcohol laws should be
enforced as stringently
at fraternities as they are
elsewhere.
No matter what action
administrators take, it is
students responsibility
to create safe spaces for
themselves and their fellow students.

TO THE EDITOR:
When I first visited UNC
wrestling coach C.D. Mocks
blog about his sons experience in being accused of
sexual assault, I, too, was
disappointed that a member
of the Carolina family was
very publicly, and in a tactless and misogynistic way,
attacking the integrity of
female survivors.
Regardless of the damage
done from his words and
calls for his termination,

is vital for students, faculty, staff, alumni and all
members of the university
community to be able to
freely express their political, cultural or social beliefs
without fear of retribution.
This is a bedrock principle
of UNC and should hold
true in the debate surrounding sexual assault.
Let us not forget that
despite cases like those at
UVa., where the integrity of
parties involved was questionable and those accused
were wronged, there are still
countless cases of sexual
assault occurring at universities. These assaults are very
real in the long-term effects
they have on survivors.

Finding common
ground on lunch trays
TO THE EDITOR:
In the last few days,
your paper has brought to
the forefront a debate over
whether UNC fraternities
should continue the practice
of hiring strippers. Its very
true that the practice is crass
at best and certainly not
indicative of the values that
we hold dear at UNC.
It is equally true, however,
that to restrict a legal act
because of our own pretense and moral objection
reeks of paternalism, as
one concerned student said.
However, I think that despite
our disagreements and our
closely held views, we can
find some common ground:
namely, that Lenior Dining
Halls paper food to-go trays
are vastly inferior to their
Styrofoam predecessors, and
that as a result, theres chana
masala all over my pants.
I know it might be hard
to see at first! It can be difficult to accept both the right
of a person to become a
stripper and anothers right
to hire their services and the
very real fact that people are
often driven to the profession as a result of poverty
and increasing inequality.
But think about it. Wouldnt
it be awesome if your to-go
container didnt fall apart
after fifteen minutes?
We can rise above
name-calling and mudslinging. We must do better. Just as I must make it
to the dry cleaners before
they close and this stain
becomes permanent.
