Mobile homes on the move

He resigned less than

two days after football
players went on strike.
By Cole del Charco
Staff Writer

After racial slurs and other

social justice issues caused
division on University of Missouri
campuses, the system President
Tim Wolfe resigned Monday
following pressure from students.
Wolfe said in a speech on
Monday that he was resigning
because immediate change needed to happen to resolve anger
and frustration on campus.
Protests intensified when
a graduate student began a
hunger strike on Nov. 2.
On Saturday, about 30
Missouri football players
decided to stand along with
other student demonstrators by
refusing to participate in any
football activities. They were
joined Sunday by Gary Pinkel,
the head coach, who tweeted,
The Mizzou Family stands
as one. We are united. We are
behind our players.
Neither the university nor the
Legion of Black Collegians, which
organized protests, responded to
requests for comment.
Vishal Reddy, co-president of
the Campus Y at UNC, said he
was impressed by how quickly the
student groups effected change.
I think its a testament to the
organizers at Missouri in what
they were able to achieve, he said.
Reddy said university officials
need to do more than just react
to affect social change.
At the University of Missouri
you sort of see how the president
was forced to step down for not
being reactive to certain instances
that happen on college campuses,
but I think there needs to be
(more proactivity) coming from
the university and administrators
across the country, Reddy said.
Reddy said UNCs studentathletes stepped into a role
similar to the Missouri players
in the 1990s.
A similar situation happened
at UNC with the formation of
the (Sonja Haynes Stone Center).
There were a couple studentathletes who sort of elevated that
movement and took it to the next
level. That shows that to achieve
quick, effective change you need
a broad coalition of students
and not students that are
typically involved in organizing
movements, and you can reach
them and tap into those, he said.
UNCs new system presidentelect, Margaret Spellings, was
criticized by members of the
University community when she
referred to LGBT peoples sexualities as lifestyles on Oct. 23.
Reddy said the Spellings
statement comes with more
weight due to some of her
previous actions towards LGBT
people. He said she has a history
of unawareness with LGBT
issues, including interfering with
PBS programming that included
LGBT individuals when she was
Secretary of Education under
President George W. Bush.
Reddy said the UNC-system
president position is more

Betty Burnette has been a resident of Rocky Brook Mobile Home Park in Carrboro since 1972. When she first moved in, rent was $35 and water was included.

As land values increase, mobile home numbers decrease

By Kiana Cole
Senior Writer

As Betty Burnette shuffled

around her living room, she discussed the disparity between her
move-in day and her present day
the price of rent.
When I moved here, it was $35
and I didnt have to pay water until
people moved in here and started
abusing it $35, she said.
I got better service than I do
now paying $290. They dont do
nothing now.

Burnette, a Carrboro resident of

Rocky Brook Mobile Home Park,
believes the town needs to do more
to keep the cost of living low for
mobile home tenants like herself.
When we had the flood they
didnt do anything, she said.
All they do is hold their hand
for $290.
With the cost of living on the
rise in Chapel Hill and Carrboro,
the number of mobile homes has
been declining.

MLK construction
sparks controversy
New Chapel Hill officials
oppose developments on
MLK Jr. Boulevard.
By Kieran Hodnett
Staff Writer

The road that travels right

through the heart of Chapel Hill
has been the home of many recent
development projects but
changes on the Chapel Hill Town
Council may bring changes to the
developments as well.
Recent developments on Martin
Luther King Jr. Boulevard may
come into question in coming
months, with two new members of
the town council and Mayor-Elect
Pam Hemminger both having ties
with the Chapel Hill Alliance for a
Liveable Town, a political organization that raised concerns about
development in town leading up to
the elections.
No, we were not in favor of
Charterwood and have serious
questions about Weaver Dairy
Road, said Tom Henkel, official
spokesperson of CHALT and CEO of
Henkel Solar, Inc. I think the folks
that voted for Pam Hemminger,
Nancy Oates and Jessica Anderson
dont approve either.
Some of the projects on MLK
include: LUX at Central Park,
Weaver Street Crossing, the

Charterwood development and the

recently opened Goddard School.
It was called Hillsborough Road
before being renamed in 2005, said
Susan Newrock, representative of
the Chapel Hill Historical Society.
Within the last 30 years or so it was
mainly undeveloped land.
Newrock described the street
as one with sparse buildings since
its beginning in 1916, when it only
had seven lots for sale. Most of the
streets buildings, until recently,
were mills, farms or factories. But
she said she knew of an old steak
place where customers could watch
the kitchen.
This was all back in the 60s
and 70s when it was just a two-way
road, Newrock said.
Now, several projects are coming
to occupy the previously unused land
on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard,
and many of them seem to have a
goal of making the area livable for
students and families alike.
Lee Perry, head of East West
Partners Management Co. Inc., has
been in charge of Weaver Street
Crossing since September, when the
town council awarded them their
grading permit that would allow
construction to begin.
Perry said he and his company
approached Walgreens about the
lot for a chance to develop on
their behalf. He remembered that

to be happening pretty soon, if its

not already happening, Delores
Bailey, the executive director of
EmPOWERment, said.
EmPOWERment is a local housing development nonprofit seeking
to build homes and lives.
Those are valuable pieces of
property, and so I wonder about
the state of mobile homes and if
they are going to be there in a year
or two, she said.
Mobile homes can either be in a
trailer park or be purchased independently, with most mobile-home

Chapel Hill loses two

LGBT leaders
North Carolina now has
only eight openly LGBT
elected officials.

Mark Kleinschmidt
is the first openly gay
mayor of Chapel Hill
and was first elected
in 2009. In the Nov.
3 election, he was
unseated by Pam
Hemminger.

By Rachel Herzog
Senior Writer

LGBT advocates say representation in North Carolinas local government is small and this years local
elections didnt help.
On Nov. 3, North Carolina lost
three openly LGBT local elected
officials, including Chapel Hills
Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt and
Town Council member Lee Storrow.
Losing Mark Kleinschmidt and
Lee Storrow from elected office
means losing two of our biggest
advocates in North Carolina,
Carrboro Board of Aldermen member Damon Seils said.
Both Lee and Mark have been
some of the most active, if not the
most active, LGBTQ people in the
state. Their losses mean that some
of the rest of us probably have to
pick up the slack.
The third was Franklinton Mayor
Elic Senter. But North Carolina
gained two openly LGBT elected
officials as well Robert Kellogg
was elected to the Gastonia City
Council, and Jillian Johnson, who
identifies as bisexual, was elected
to the Durham City Council.

owners buying the house and then

renting the piece of land.
I know that there is a real fear
that people that own mobile home
lots will sell them, Bailey said.
From 2000 to 2005, Chapel Hill
and Carrboro lost a total of 113
mobile homes, according to the
Orange County Comprehensive
Housing Strategy.
This drop in mobile homes
which totals an 81.4 percent
decline is attributed to the

highlighting previously, Seils said.
But Seils said he thinks the eight
LGBT elected officials across the
state arent enough.
I think its too small, and I
think its to be expected in a state
as conservative as North Carolina,
Seils said.
Dr. Terri Phoenix, director of
UNCs LGBTQ Center, said its hard
to know whether eight local elected
officials are a sufficient representation of North Carolinas LGBT
population because there arent
conclusive statistics on the number
of LGBT people in the state.
Its certainly not high, Phoenix
said.
Carrboro Mayor Lydia Lavelle said
she will miss the opportunities she
and Kleinschmidt had.

Jamie Cherry heeds Hatchells advice

The sophomore
scored 23 points
WOMENS BASKETBALL

NORTH CAROLINA
MOUNT OLIVE

99
45

By Kayleigh Payne
Staff Writer

Entering the North Carolina womens basketball teams second exhibition, Coach Sylvia
Hatchell had a challenge for her players
drive to the basket.
And on the opening play of the game,
sophomore guard Jamie Cherry listened to
Hatchells plea, attacking the basket before
dishing the ball outside for an open 3-pointer
by Destinee Walker.
Last game we didnt shoot the ball well,
and coach was telling us we needed to drive,
Cherry said.
And drive she did.
Coming off a less-than-stellar start to
the season in the teams opening exhibition
against Wingate, Cherry served as the driving
force in Mondays 99-45 victory over Mount
Olive. She racked up 23 points, six steals, five
rebounds and four assists.
In addition to her early assist, she drained
a shot from behind the arc less than three
minutes into the game, marking the Tar Heels
second 3-pointer of the contest.
The shot helped UNC quickly improve on
its 3-point shooting from the previous game,
in which North Carolina only made one of its
22 3-pointers.
Fighting her way through the Mount Olive
defense, Cherry continued to be a powerful
playmaker. She recorded a steal at the end of
the first quarter and scored on a layup.
After scoring only 10 points and not making
a single trip to the free-throw line in the previous game, Cherry scored 12 of her 23 points on
free throws.
She was far from selfish, though, tying for
the team lead in assists.

UNC works to
rethink
mental illness
A working group will investigate
UNCs mental health needs.
By Mona Bazzaz
Senior Writer

Though Counseling and Psychological Services

and members of student government recognize
that not providing long-term psychotherapy on
campus is problematic, they say it is not a possibility given available resources.
It probably doesnt feel good to come into
CAPS, finally being able to talk about whats been
bothering you, but then you come in, and after 20
minutes they tell you that you need to go see a therapist outside, Allen OBarr, director of CAPS, said.
OBarr said the quick transition aims to prevent students from having to move out due to
a lack of space, funding and availability after
forming a relationship with their counselor
after a few sessions.
The type of therapy that we are doing here is
brief psychotherapy, OBarr said. It is designed to
deal with the problems that are going on right now
and to try and figure out a good solution for them.
What CAPS currently lacks is the ability to
offer long-term psychotherapy, which mostly
focuses on the underpinnings of why a person
might be struggling with mental health issues.
Harry Edwards, UNC student government
chief of staff, said he does not think mental
health has been taken seriously enough by
administrators yet.
I think mental health, which affects an estimate of 25 percent of our students, has not been
taken seriously enough, he said.
In response to issues like funding and space,
Edwards said student government and CAPS
plan on assembling a working group to alter the
way mental health is dealt with at UNC.
I think the working group will do a lot of
research, find a lot of areas that could be improved,
have a lot of recommendations for how we could
improve them and find the things that need to be
changed policy-wise and funding-wise, he said.
Edwards said he also wants the group to look
into prevention, like changing academic policies to
reduce stress and supporting student groups that
reduce stigma including incorporating trainings,
such as Rethink: Psychiatric Illness, One Act and
HAVEN, into the first-year academic experience.
OBarr said CAPS is also looking at solutions
such as charging insurance after a certain number
of sessions or the potential of therapy through
technology rather than in person, but both of those
options still deal with issues of funding and space.
Junior clinical lab science student Jack Agres
said for him, CAPS was a great way to start dealing with issues but didnt resolve them.
It needs to be more open to helping cope with
the stresses of campus life, he said. They focus too
much on the quick fix and getting you in and out.
I never felt like I was truly comfortable because I
always felt like each time I went, I was closing in on
the number of sessions you have with them.
Agres said it is understandable CAPS isnt
capable of handling all of the traffic they get, but
he wished hed gotten more help with finding an
off-campus therapist.

DTH/ALEX KORMANN
North Carolina sophomore guard Jamie Cherry (10) dribbles the ball past Anamaria Zjacic (3). Cherry co-led the Tar Heels in scoring with 23 points.

I like to see (Walker) score, Cherry said. I

like to see everybody score. I mean, it takes the
pressure off of me just watching her sit back
and score.
This teamwork was evident, as Walker also
finished with 23 points, and both players combined for almost half of the teams points.
Hatchell noticed the dynamic between
Cherry and her first-year counterpart.
They like playing together, Hatchell said.

They compliment each other and I think

theyll share (the leadership role).
Walker agreed. As a five-star recruit at Lake
Highland Preparatory School in Orlando,
teams focused on her with their defenses. But
with Cherry by her side, Walker knows they
can keep opposing teams off guard.
Coming from high school, I was always
the person bringing the ball up, Walker said.
Having the chance to be able to switch off and

still be able to bring up the ball but then being

able to get her open and her getting me open
it just works well together.
Cherrys playing time dwindled as UNCs lead
grew to 42 points at halftime. But she continually drove to the basket and dominated play.
With the games outcome seemingly secure,
she continued to heed Hatchells message.

Seymour Center honors veterans

The center held a
music fest to celebrate
Veterans Day.
By Alexa Papadopoulos
Staff Writer

While the rain may have

stopped some from going to
the Veterans Music Fest at the
Seymour Center, those in attendance were excited to honor
local veterans.
Performers played and sang
as audience members enjoyed
food from food trucks. A lone
couple danced to jazz music, but
most others tapped their feet to
keep rhythm. Mondays festival
brought together Orange County
veterans and community members to celebrate Veterans Day
with food and local musicians.
It was a time for members
of the senior center to socialize and do something different
with their Monday night.
I just come to meet other veterans, said Frank Parker, a member of the Seymour Center. I live
alone and this is another way of
getting out of my apartment.
Parker served as a Marine
during the Korean war. He
said he is mostly deaf and
partially blind. and without
the Department of Veterans
Affairs, he would be out of luck.
He sat with Stephanie
Greenberg and her father Dick
Soder, a Navy veteran. They all
met for the first time and said
that was what made these events
so great. I think this conversation we just had here was the best
part of the night, Soder said.

DTH/CORI PATRICK
Marie Vanderbeck sings for the crowd. Local veterans were invited to attend Veterans Music Fest on Nov. 9.

Cydne Sims, operations

manager for the Seymour Center,
organized the music fest and said
they always love honoring the
nations veterans. This is the second year they have done an official event, but plan to continue
the tradition and do something
different every year.
She also mentioned the centers Wall of Honor, a representation of all the veterans who have
served their country who are
members of the center.
When the audience was
asked how many veterans came
out for the event, over half of

the room raised their hands.

I just feel its important to
recognize what other people went
through, my dad, Frank and all
the other people, Greenberg said.
Several members of the audience spoke of the sacrifices that
veterans have made for their country. But the veterans shed a positive light on their experiences.
Jay Boomer served in the army
during the 50s and 60s, during
the time of German occupation.
He started at Fort Hicks and then,
as he said, did a stint in the south
before shipping off to Germany.
It was a very good assignment,

Boomer said. The Germans loved

us, we had a good time.
When Boomer was asked
about why he believes we
should honor veterans, he
laughed. He said we wouldnt
last very long without them.
His wife, Priscilla Boomer,
agreed with him, adding they all
give the greatest sacrifice.
One of the gentleman that
spoke said we celebrate Veterans
Day to honor the veterans who
survived, Priscilla Boomer said. I
think thats what were doing here.

Houstons failed LGBT bill echoes Charlottes

Voters took issue
with transgender
protections in the bill.
By Sierra Dunne
Staff Writer

Voters in Houston rejected an

ordinance last week that would
have prohibited discrimination
against protected classes.
The Houston Equal Rights
ordinance, known as HERO,
would have offered legal protection for 15 classes including
age, religion and pregnancy,
but it was largely defeated over
the question of new protections
for transgender individuals.
The opposition campaign
boiled down to five words: No
men in womens bathrooms,
said Mike Meno, spokesperson
for the American Civil Liberties
Union of North Carolina.

A similar ordinance that aimed

to protect people in the Charlotte
LGBT community was defeated
in March. But the Charlotte bills
portion for transgender individuals using their bathroom of choice
was removed after much opposition and the bill still failed.
Meno said there was a similar rhetoric in Charlotte, where
the opposition was determined
to play on peoples fears and
misconceptions of transgender
individuals in order to create a
false narrative surrounding the
content of the ordinance.
Tami Fitzgerald, the executive director at the N.C. Values
Coalition, which opposed the
Charlotte ordinance, said the
Houston policy would have
been dangerous.
We think that it was a common sense defeat, she said.
People used their brains and
decided that they dont want to
encounter people of the opposite

sex in their own bathrooms.

Fitzgerald said the coalition
is glad the referendum failed,
and the vote accurately
reflects Houstons values. The
coalition encourages any city
in North Carolina considering
implementing similar laws to
think twice, she said.
We will fight them like we
did in Charlotte, and we expect
to defeat them, she said.
But in Houston, the vote
against the policy could mean
economic repercussions.
UNC law professor Victor Flatt
said the failure to pass the ordinance will hurt the citys image as
a welcoming place to work.
Many people who are welleducated or progressive and
are looking for places to live or
settle down or start companies
dont want to be in a location
that they think is backward or
discriminatory, he said.
Flatt said there have already

been calls to remove the Final

Four basketball tournament and
Super Bowl LI from Houston.
He said he does not believe
this vote was a reflection of
most citizens attitudes because
the opposition focused only on
the bathroom issue.
Almost none of the debate
was about employment
protection, Flatt said. The
vote wasnt even really about
what the ordinance was about.
Meno said there are a lot of
ways to protect people against
discrimination in the workplace,
but the best way to protect people
is to pass a nondiscrimination bill
through the U.S. congress.
Unfortunately, that legislation has stalled in Washington,
D.C., and thats why you now see
the fight going to local municipalities in places like Houston
and Charlotte, he said.

MBA graduate specializes in magic

Jared Molton is a
magician and KenanFlagler graduate.
By Maria Prokopowicz
Staff Writer

He can swallow 50 stainless steel needles and a slice

of bread and then pull the
bread out with all 50 needles
attached.
He can take a take a ring
off his finger and make it
jump back on by itself.
Jared Molton is both a
magician and a 2015 UNC
Kenan-Flagler Business
School graduate.
After seeing a Lance
Burton magic show in Las
Vegas, Molton began practicing magic at age 14.
Id always been really
interested in it and never
really kind of thought that
it was something that was
doable, Molton said. And
I saw his show and was just
blown away.
To teach himself magic,
Molton read books, visited

magic shops and met other

magicians who helped guide
him along the way.
At 14, I thought to myself,
Whoa, I can turn this into a
business. I can make money
doing this. How cool is that?
he said. I loved the magic and
the art and all of that, and I
also realized it was an opportunity to have a pretty great job.
Molton became a
professional magician
in New York City after
graduating from college.
He was general manager
of one of New Yorks oldest
magic shops before coming
to Kenan-Flagler in 2013.
Being in business school,
I was able to do magic when
I had free time, Molton
said. Once I got a sense of
how to manage business
school, the rest of it came
pretty easily.
Molton performed
at Southern Rail, the
ArtsCenter in Carrboro, the
North Carolina Museum of
Art and private parties.
The most interesting
thing about any law school
or business school, I

think, is people with many

different backgrounds apply
to B-schools, said Tarun
Kushwaha, a marketing
professor who taught Molton.
Molton was part of a
study abroad program in
India and the United Arab
Emirates led by Kushwaha
and Stephanie Peterson,
senior associate director of
academics for the business
schools MBA program.

CUAB Jubilee act, funding up in the air

CUAB hasnt finalized
a venue or artist for
the spring concert.
By Sindhu Chidambaram
Senior Writer

This past Homecoming

week maintained many of
UNCs traditions. But one
thing was missing the
Homecoming concert.
This year, the Carolina
Union Activities Board
decided to do away with the
fall concert in order to invest
more money and, ultimately,
make the spring Jubilee
concert bigger.
The week after UNCs

Homecoming, CUAB is still

in the process of organizing
Jubilee and has not yet decided upon a venue or artist.
It released a poll on Sept.
4 asking students which
artist they would like to
see perform at this years
concert. The poll closed on
Sept. 26.
Although CUAB has the
results from the 1,578 students who responded, it will
not release the information
until it has more details
regarding the boards budget.
The venue will dictate a
lot of things about Jubilee,
said Boateng Kubi, vice
president of outreach and
public relations for CUAB.
The amount of money

CUAB can spend on an artist

depends on how much of the
budget remains after venue
prices are accounted for.
The budget is very flexible
and up in the air, Kubi said.
Kubi said CUAB is still
looking for venues, but
Jubilee will definitely not
be on Hooker Fields like
it was last year. The board
is hoping to have more
information within the next
few weeks.
Im kind of frustrated
because I was looking forward to going if they had gotten a big name this year, said
Matthew Newman, a junior
biology and political science
double major. But its kind
of made up for the fact that

The budget is very flexible and up in the

air.
Boateng Kubi
Vice President of Outreach and Public Relations for CUAB

theres probably going to be a

big spring concert like there
was last year.
Sophomore Mary
Margaret Evans didnt know
there wasnt going to be a
Homecoming concert this
year.
If its a good act, then I
think we should definitely
have (the artists), Evans said.
But if its just like were going
to spend money on an event
that not many people are
going to come to, then I dont

think its that important.

Evans, who went to the
spring concert last year, said
she remembers there was a fall
concert but did not attend.
I dont know who came
last year, but I remember
a lot of people didnt really
think it was a great act, she
said. I just think it would
be better to have an act that
everyone wanted to see and
would have a really great
turnout than spend money
on two lesser-known acts.

Kubi said he believes the

other Homecoming activities
made up for the absence of a
concert, and that people are
excited for a big spring concert.
It was not as negative as
you would expect, Kubi said.
He said last years board
decided to test out having a
Homecoming concert and
spring Jubilee concert in the
same year.
The weather and atmosphere of the springtime contributed to Jubilees success in
the spring 2015 semester.
Kubi said he hopes CUAB
will be able to emulate last
years success by making the
concert bigger this spring.

New marketing technique targets viewers emotions

By Brandon Oppong-Antwi
Staff Writer

TV networks like Viacom

and NBC Universal are trying new ways to understand
what shows and commercials
people like to watch by getting into the minds of their
viewers literally.
The companies have
invested in a lab where they
will record participants
biometric reactions to viewing
certain advertisements
and TV shows in an effort
to better understand what
viewers like seeing.

We value them they
are one of the components
of affordable housing in
Chapel Hill, said Sally
Greene, Chapel Hill town
council member and mayor
pro tempore.
In Orange County, there
are an estimated 4,225
mobile homes with a margin
of error of +/- 446, which is
a decrease of 1,528 homes
since 2005.
Because one of Chapel
Hills priorities is providing
affordable housing options,
Greene said mobile homes

Its a Walgreens and UNC
Health Care-leased building,
Perry said, describing the
development being built on
the corner of Weaver Dairy
Road and Martin Luther
King Jr. Boulevard.
Perry said he enjoys the
councils attempts to develop
Martin Luther King Jr.
Boulevard and hopes to continue working there if the
chance arises.
Its a good corridor, he said.
Gene Poveromo, development manager for Chapel Hill,
described the numerous projects set up to appear on Martin
Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
He said Weaver Street
Crossing, the Charterwood
mixed-use development,
the Childrens Campus
Daycare and the Grove
Park apartment complex
developers were all given
permission to build or
expand their properties.
Plans are approved by
the council, Poveromo said.
I just implement what
comes in.
Poveromo also said the
recent construction of both
the LUX apartment complex
and the Goddard pre-school
are completed.
The added construction brings more business
and residency closer to
downtown Chapel Hill,
something we approve, said
Meg McGurk, executive
director of the Chapel Hill
Downtown Partnership.
Henkel said he views much
of the development to be an
eyesore upon the beautiful
environment and hopes to
find the area undergoing a
serious change of pace within
the next few years.
(The new council members) oppose LUX and developments coming down the
roads, Henkel said.
Henkel said the rest of the
towns rampant construction will also find itself under
serious review, and said
Hemminger seeks to put a
hold on large projects like

CHALT will stay engaged
and try to make an impact on
town affairs, Henkel said.

Professor JoAnn Sciarrino,

a Knight Chair in digital
advertising and marketing
at the UNC School of Media
and Journalism, said this
technology opens up new
avenues for marketers.
Advertisers and marketers are using biometric and
neuroscience techniques
because the traditional methods of surveys and/or focus
groups are cognitive-oriented
approaches, she said.
Sciarrino said biometrics
function like a lie detector
while one measures heart
rate to determine the truth

of a statement, the other

measures different body
characteristics to discover
responses to stimuli.
The labs will use infrared
cameras to track biometrics
like eye movement and facial
reactions made while participants, who are hooked
up to skin sensors and heart
monitors, watch TV.
Three professors from
Polish universities, writing
for the Journal of Interactive
Advertising, said this new
technology will work by
measuring activity in the
brain. The researchers said

this activity can guess subjects emotions made during

brain stimulation.
Ipsos MORI, a United
Kingdom marketing research
organization, published an
online piece claiming this
technology can serve as a
benefit for marketing groups.
Biometrics can demonstrate beyond doubt that
emotional engagement has
occurred, and (it) is unique in
its ability to measure intensity
of emotional response, the
authors wrote.
According to the article,
there is a great deal of

information to be gained
from biometric analysis
like what elements of an
advertisement are more likely
to capture viewers attention.
By examining peoples faces,
companies can also observe
what objects generate
emotional stimulus.
Sciarrino said traditional
consumer research methods,
which asked respondents
for their perceptions, were
received from the rational
part of the brain while biometrics have the potential to
tap into emotional and values
portions of the brain.

Most of our perceptions

and decisions are actually
rooted in the limbic brain
and thus potentially getting
closer to understanding
those connections are
extremely beneficial for
marketers, she said.
Sciarrino said this technology will give better, or more
effective, advertising.
More effective advertising
means that the advertising or
content will achieve or generate higher levels of intended
outcomes, she said.

about the future.

I imagine with marriage
equality and increasing
general acceptance of the
LGBT community that this
number will continue to rise
a bit, she said in an email.
I believe the number is a bit

small, but as importantly, I

think the number of elected
officials, gay or straight,
that supports the LGBT
community openly needs to
increase.
Lavelle said the number
of LGBT elected officials has

increased gradually over the

past decade.
It is hard to know
what the number of LGBT
officials may have been
in the past because those
persons were likely unable
to come out and live their

lives openly, she said.

Phoenix said LGBT representation and visibility is
important in all aspects of
society.
I think visibility matters
in a whole lot of ways,
Phoenix said.

I think a lot of the

progress that we have seen
around LGBTQ rights is
because of the cumulative
effect of people being out
and visible about their lives.

keep housing accessible for

residents.
The town of Chapel Hill
is in no way interested in taking actions that would force
mobile homes out of the community, she said.
Greene said because many
mobile homes are within
trailer parks, she would like
to see discussions between
landowners and the town to
find ways to keep costs low.
I would be very interested to talk with the owner of
mobile parks and see what
kind of partnerships could
be structured, she said. I
recognize this is a complex
problem, and we would welcome assistance.
Yazmin Romero from the
Nature Trail Mobile Home

Community in Chapel Hill

said, despite the increase
in land value, the rent isnt
raised more than $10 to $15.
Most residents own their
trailers and they just pay us
the rent, she said.
Chapel Hill Town Council
member Maria Palmer said
she believes a step toward
preventing mobile home
evictions would exist in
discussions between renters
and mobile park owners.
I am concerned about
mobile homes and lots of
affordable housing, Palmer
said.
I want to do as much
outreach as we can do to help
people qualify for assistance.

students, he said.
In the past year, UNC has
seen student-led protests to
rename Saunders Hall and
to get rid of the Silent Sam
statue on McCorkle Place.
Kirschner said he hopes
UNCs administrators and
students keep up a dialogue
so that conflict doesnt
become too tense, regardless
of the issue.

Before a situation got to

the point at where it got at
Missouri, you would hope
that those lines of communication would allow you to
kind of move forward without
students feeling like they
had to take sort of the drastic
step of what happened at
Missouri, Kirschner said.

they can cause it.
This release sent ripples
throughout the American
psyche, yet the food industry
has remained largely unquestioned. Farmer injustice, poor
living conditions for livestock
and now this. It seems like
nothing is new. Issues like
these are reiterated over and
over again, and nothing comes
of them because it doesnt
directly affect our lives.
But this does. Yes, there are
a multitude of things nowadays that can cause cancer,
but this one is easily solvable.
Ignoring science and facts for
conveniences sake should not
be justified in any capacity.
This logic is similar to thinking there is a lot of smoke that
we inhale in our lifetimes, so
smoking a cigarette will not
make a difference.
A common misconception
is that small actions in our
daily lives are just a drop in
the bucket of a larger, systemic
issue. This argument is used
when addressing institutional
racism, inequality in schools
or, in this case, human health.
If our daily, insignificant
actions do not affect the world
around us, then there wouldnt
be high levels of obesity in this
country. We wouldnt have
unequal pay in the workforce.
We wouldnt have the Great
Pacific Garbage Patch, a conglomeration of waste from
littered beaches that makes up
an island in the middle of the
Pacific.
Small actions, when isolated, might only have small
impacts. But nothing is isolated, and accumulation creates the larger impacts we see
in our world. To take from a
piece of graffiti from the Berlin
Wall, Many small people who
in many small places do many
small things that can alter the
face of the world.
Even if cutting out processed meat, or meat altogether, is clearly beneficial
to health, most people might
still choose not to do this.
Many people see this diet as
a larger protein sacrifice than
what it actually is.
Protein consumption is a
concept that is emphasized in
American culture, and because
of it Americans tend to eat
twice the daily amount of protein they need. And there are
negative health effects from
this, such as kidney disease
and osteoporosis.
So in reality, this emphasis
on getting in your daily
protein can cause more harm
than good. Being a vegetarian
or chooseatarian can bring
healthier options to a lot
of people, yet it is rarely
encouraged.
Not everyone cuts meat
to save the animals, as the
stereotype might suggest.
Well actually, some of us are,
but others are not.
Some people care about
farmers rights; others are
concerned with the amount
of greenhouse gases that are
produced by raising livestock.
There are others who are just
trying to save money. And
now theres one more reason:
your health.

EDITORIAL

Power to the people

Chapel Hill and
Carrboro should buy
their electric grids.

he democratization
of the energy sector
is coming, but Duke
Energy is digging in its
heels. Its decision to challenge environmental group
N.C. Waste Awareness and
Reduction Network is an
indication that the utility
company will stop at nothing to prevent the transition
to a clean energy economy.
Duke Energy likes regulation and fines but only
when theyre levied against
any entity challenging its
hegemony. In the electric
utilitys latest crusade
against North Carolina
renewable advocates,
it proposed that a state
regulator seize as much
as $120,000 from N.C.
WARN, which is supporting a Greensboro church.
In Duke Energys eyes,
the churchs decision to
host a solar panel on its
roof without providing
them compensation ought
to yield the same kind of
punishment given for polluting the states groundwater with coal ash.
N.C. WARN says otherwise. Their valiant
campaign, one in which

they play David to Dukes

Goliath, seeks to challenge
the illegality of third party
sales in the state. This
antiquated restriction
works to prevent citizens
and companies from selling electricity that they
generate. Because Dukes
centralized business
model is most efficient
at a large scale, theyve
doubled down on electricity generation from fossil
fuels, a destructive choice
for communities of color
and the climate.
Despite the barriers,
innovative solutions to
chip away at the electric
utilitys monopoly exist.
In Boulder, Colo., the
citys government is trying to take over its grid.
This process entails creating a local, communityowned utility that serves
to benefit the public
good, not the fossil fuel
interests that are preventing new renewable
energy installation.
There is precedent.
Many of North Carolinas
municipalities, including
High Point and Apex, are
Public Power communities, meaning their governments have more say
when it comes to their
electricity. Progressive
towns such as Chapel

Hill and Carrboro could

replicate Boulders
model, returning the
public good of electricity
to the publics control.
The decision to do so
would be a boldfaced
challenge to the commitment Duke has made to
the fossil fuel industry.
This town and its community is rightly proud
to hold the values of
environmental stewardship highly. Chapel Hill
is home to Strata Solar, a
nationally ranked firm. By
gaining ownership of the
electricity grid, Chapel
Hill and other municipalities could accelerate
their economic growth
by attracting jobs from
renewable energy firms.
N.C. WARNs executive
director Jim Warren said
that as long as Duke and
the states regulators stand
in the way, we cannot
achieve a future powered
by cheap and clean energy.
We simply cannot wait
for the unwavering Duke
Energy to provide the
clean energy transition the
state and country needs.
N.C. WARN is leading
the fight against the past
head on, but citizen activists and municipalities
have a leading role to play
in the transition too.

ADVICE COLUMN

You Asked for It

In which we do not jinx sports teams and curate your playlist.
Kelsey Weekman (all work
and no play this week) and
Drew Goins (in a play this
weekend) are the writers of
UNCs premier (only!) satirical advice column. Results
may vary.
You: I feel like all of our
sports teams are really good
this year, and I want to
be proud about it, but Im
afraid I will jinx it. How can
I celebrate?
You Asked for It: The North
Carolina football team is
doing better than it has in
living memory (aka when
we were first-years). The
male cheerleaders biceps
have grown in strength
to the point of sentience
thanks to set after set of
touchdown pushups in eight
consecutive wins.
We beat Duke (and everyone knows that every time
the Victory Bell rings, a frat
boy gets some Wings Over
Chapel Hill).
Fever emails inform
us that the other teams
are doing well, too. Given
UNCs recent dominance,
any opponent battling the
Heels faces a fiery challenge
with little chance of victory,
the likes of which only the
new, red Starbucks holiday
cups can understand.
But beware over-celebrating. The collective force

No gloating over social

the score from @GoHeels
will suffice. No making or
hinting at foregone conclusions. Refer to the Belk
Bowl as the Nordstrom
Tureen if necessary.
However, all the normal
chanting and dancing is
good to go.
Just make sure that Heels
is always two syllables, and
no one is in sync for the cheer
where we all buck forward
and backward in a line. Cant
mess with tradition.
You: My Discover Weekly
playlist on Spotify is always
garbage. What music
should I listen to this
week?
YAFI: Though its clear
technology is replacing
our imaginations

with machines that

automatically generate
content, the tailored-foryou playlist still has a few
flaws. One can only handle
so many club remixes of
songs you already listen
to or acoustic covers of
Riptide.
Dig up your old iTunes
account, and set it on shuffle. When youre done being
pleased with yourself for
still knowing every word to
Super Bass, youll collapse
in embarrassment when
you realize the same is true
for Push It to the Limit.
Accept it. That song is great
for productivity.
If youre feeling contemplative and tired of Hello,
listen to some old school
Adele. You probably never
figured out what Rolling in
the Deep means anyway.
Give music a rest, and
start listening to podcasts.
Revisit Serial since there
are new developments in
the case.
We heard if you listen
to it backward, you can
hear an exclusive part of
the Nisha Call in which
she reveals the pings dont

If none of those options
sound good to you, just
listen closely to the sounds

TO THE EDITOR:
Smoking on UNCs campus is increasing. Smokers
are students, staff, faculty,
contractors and visitors.
While UNCs administration purports to take public smoking seriously, it is
disinclined to take definitive action against smoking
in public.
In 2008 UNC adopted
a Smoke-Free Campus
policy. Notably, UNC does
not appear on Tobacco
Free Campus Initiatives
list among participating
North Carolina colleges
and universities.
That is because UNCs
legalistic versus a public
health and educational
approach to smoking is
a disqualification. And
while the current policy
addresses many specifics, it
contains loopholes: smoking is permitted 100 feet
from a facility.
Though the 2008 policy
does not explicitly say so,
a UNC facility equals a
building, though smoking is also explicitly prohibited in Kenan Woods
where no buildings exist.
UNCs Facilities Services
Department, however,
maintains building and nonbuilding facilities alike.
This interpretation of
facility explains why the
Polk Place flag pole circle
is UNCs most visible Free
to Smoke Zone. The pole
is presumably 100 feet
from any surrounding
facilities: South Building
and Gerrard, Steele, Hanes
and Carolina Halls.
Sadly, UNC encourages smokers on central
campus by maintaining
two concrete standing
ash trays in the flag pole
circle. These also serve as
trash receptacles. Visible
to anyone traversing central campus, smokers and
trash occupy center stage.
As home to renowned
Schools of Public Health
and Medicine, UNC should
be leading not lagging in the
tobacco-free campus movement. Esse Quam Videri.

DTH is wrong on the

greatness of America
TO THE EDITOR:
Ive lived in Chapel
Hill for over 20 years.
In that time I have read
thousands of comments in
The Daily Tar Heel, and
I dont think I have ever
read anything that disappointed me more than
the update on where we
stand. America isnt really
that awesome.
There are millions of
people who have paid a
dear price so you can even
say something like that
without severe reprise. I
wonder if you might have
visited the USS Arizona
Memorial, the beaches or
fields at Normandy or the
Vietnam Memorial? Like
myself, I would think that

those remembered there

would be at odds with
your opinion.
Whatever ends you
desire for this country, I
can tell you that each day
I am in contact with UNC
students who lift my spirits
and give me great confidence that we are in good
hands. You are encouraged
to join that effort.

Come out to the last

home football game
TO THE EDITOR:
Tar Heel Nation:
Thank you for the tremendous enthusiasm and
support you provided during the game against Duke.
Your passion for the team
and the rivalry was felt on
every play, helping the Tar
Heels beat the Blue Devils
in record fashion. The student section in particular
was fantastic! Thanks for
making this one of our
most memorable games in
Kenan Stadium.
Now, were asking you to
bring an even greater level
of energy on Saturday at
3:30 p.m. against Miami.
Your Tar Heels are
ranked #17 in the country,
are 5-0 in the ACC and
are 8-1 overall. Saturday
is the final time Marquise
Williams, Landon Turner,
Jeff Schoettmer and their
fellow seniors will take the
field at Kenan Stadium.
The game has important
implications on both the
national and ACC races.
Lets join together, show
the team youve got their
back and send the seniors
out in style with the largest and loudest crowd of
the season. Its been fun
so far, but there is a lot
left to play for beginning
Saturday. The excitement
is just getting started.

Concussions article
was misleading
TO THE EDITOR:
From a public health
perspective, The Daily
Tar Heel headline that
schools devote resources
to preventing concussions
is misleading. Yes, schools
may provide baseline concussion testing, education
about symptoms and even
athletic trainers to oversee rehabilitation. These
are, however, examples of
efforts to lessen the consequences of concussions
after they occur.
The most effective prevention is to harness the
physical forces that cause
brain damage before it
occurs because our understanding of the long-term
consequences of concussions is a field in its infancy.
Football accounts for
over 50 percent of sportsrelated concussions in
high school, so if we were
truly concerned about
prevention, eliminating
football would be a good
place to start.
