Tar Heels win second national title in four years

By John Bauman
Staff Writer

DTH/ALEX KORMANN

NC goalkeeper Megan Ward recorded a

career-high 14 saves in Sundays win over
Maryland. This was the second time Ward
helped the Tar Heels win a national championship.

Talen Energy Stadium in Chester,

Pennsylvania, is usually home to the
Philadelphia Union of Major League
Soccer, but this past weekend, it was
home to the NCAA womens lacrosse
Final Four.
The plaza outside the stadium also
took on a different role it was the site of
the Tar Heels post-game celebration after
the team captured the national championship Sunday by beating Maryland 13-7.
It was a celebration that carried on for
hours. Players chatted, celebrated and
soaked in the moment with championship t-shirts on and bits of the championship net around their necks or tied
onto their hats.
The players were happy and were celebrating because there was so much to
celebrate and be happy for.

Redemption

DTH/ALEX KORMANN

ammy Jo Tracy (13) scored eight goals over the

course of the NCAA Tournament, including
two in the title game. She scored on 72.7 percent of the shots she took during the tournament.

They were happy for Megan Ward,

who was pulled in Fridays semifinal
match against Penn State early in the
first. Caylee Waters, her talented backup,
came in, made eight saves and earned
the win. Ward shared the net with
Waters all season long and after practice
before the quarterfinal match against
Notre Dame, the senior described her
relationship with Waters.
Caylee and I have a pretty decent
partnership, Ward said I think we
are both very confident in each others
capabilities, so if someone is having an
off day, it is really nice to know that the
other one is there to perform.
Waters was there to save the day on

Friday, but Sunday in the national championship, Ward played the game of her life.
She made 14 saves, creating her own
moment in the sun as the hero. For a
senior who has sacrificed playing time
throughout her career for the good of
the team, the opportunity to be in goal
and shine during the national championship was priceless.
Its been so long since Ive been at this
podium celebrating with my team, Ward
said. And Caylee got us here as much as
I did, and so to be able to win and be in
my championship game my senior year,
Im very grateful.

Bookends
They were happy for the senior class
that won the last game they will ever play
in a North Carolina uniform. The group
started out as champions when they won
the title in 2013 as first-years. Following
the win over Notre Dame on May 21,
Stephanie Lobb, who was a first-year on
the 2013 team, shared what her class was
striving for.
I think for the senior class especially,
we came in ending on a great note in
Philadelphia, she said. Wed like to have
a little bit of a bookend and finish with
another great end in Philadelphia as well.
The seniors struggled and fought to
have a chance to get back to Philadelphia
to feel that feeling again, and they did so
with a special 2016 team.
This team is so special, and we had
that special team our freshman year
and we felt it from the beginning we got
here, senior Aly Messinger said. We had
the team to win the national championship and thats what we did.
North Carolinas senior class leaves

Chapel Hill with 72 wins over four seasons to just 14 losses. And dont forget
the two shiny championship rings, a
perfect bookend to a magical career in
Carolina blue.

Celebration
Following the win, North Carolina
players and coaches walked out onto
the plaza, greeted by hundreds of fans,
friends and family welcoming them with
hugs and expressions of joy.
The NCAA Championship trophy was
out on the table, and there were pictures,
so many pictures, taken by adoring fans
and proud parents.
They all stayed until the middle of
the second half of the womens lacrosse
Division III championship, which was
played on the same field UNC had just
walked off. Then slowly, the party dwindled down. First the kids and the fans left,
then the players gathered their things,
headed off to surely continue the festive
activities.
Someone carried off the coolers and
the tables, and the plaza turned back
into being just a plaza.
At the end of the day, thats really
the payoff of winning a championship.
Its not the trophy or the records or the
accolades. The rewards of playing on this
special 2016 Tar Heel team would have
carried with the players for the rest of
their lives, win or lose on Sunday.
But the reward of winning the championship is the opportunity to go out and
transform a plaza at an MLS stadium in
Pennsylvania into the best championship
party in the world.

Campus safety determined by One Button

The new alert system
will shave more than ten
minutes off warnings.
By Anna Freeman
Staff Writer

The Department of Public Safety

is debuting the One Button
system change to Alert Carolina
towards the end of this summer.
Derek Kemp, associate vice chancellor for campus safety and risk
management, said the One Button
system takes what used to be a 15
minute process and consolidates it
into a two to three minute process.
What were trying to get is speed
and accuracy of response, Kemp

said.
Matthew Mauzy, IT manager at
the ITS control center, said the One
Button system would essentially
automate several of the software
tools used to send out Alert Carolina
messages. He said Alert Carolina is
more than just a website; it is mass
messaging for email, text messaging
and posts to official University social
media accounts.
So, right now, those activities
are spread across a few different software tools, Mauzy said.
What the One Button program or
automation will do is that instead
of the user having to log in to
individual tools to push out that
first sirens on emergency notification message, theyll be able to
essentially push a button, and it is

physical button.
Mauzy said after the button is
pushed, the automation will take
over behind the scenes and log into
the various tools to send out predetermined messages to all the same
distribution points that would be
done in the past manually.
Kemp said this system is funded
through a $30 student fee, but it
is not tied specifically to the One
Button initiative. He said it is UNC
system-wide change to improve student welfare.
Its a system fee that can support
security, it can also support Title
IX, Kemp said.
Mauzy said there will be a full systems test with the new automation
piece on June 17 with full implementation July 1.

Mauzy said the idea for the One

Button system was inspired by what
other colleges used for their emergency systems but UNCs plan is
intended to meet the specific needs
of the University and the community.
At the May Board of Trustees
meeting, Kemp said the attempted
kidnapping in November 2015 partially prompted the changes to the
Alert Carolina system.
The kidnapping occurred at the
intersection of Kenan Street and
West Cameron Avenue. Chapel
Hill Police charged Keith Robert
Webster Jr., of Durham, with second
degree kidnapping and possession
of a firearm by a felon. The student
was walking when Webster pulled
up in his vehicle and attempted to

force the student into his vehicle.

Webster was armed at the time
of the attempted kidnapping.
According to police, bystanders
helped the student escape.
However, Randy Young, department of public safety spokesperson,
said the One Button system is not
in response to a specific emergency
incident and is the natural progression of Alert Carolina.
Every time we activate the Alert
Carolina system at virtually any
level, there is inherently a review
process, Young said. We look over
not only what went right, what can
be improved upon, not only from
within our own capabilities but also
looking atother universities.

Absence of pressure gave North Carolina the edge

By Jeremy Vernon
Sports Editor

Theres no way they couldve done it.

No way a team could lose six times
and still make the NCAA Tournament.
No way could it come back with less than
five minutes remaining against the No.
1 team in the country. And no way could
it survive going down a man in overtime
and walk out on top.
All season long, the North Carolina
mens lacrosse team kept hearing what
it couldnt do. But when its season was
on the line, time and time again the Tar
Heels proved that they werent what
people thought they were.
And with a 14-13 overtime win against
Maryland on Monday in Philadelphia,
the Tar Heels showed they were the only
thing that mattered in the end national champions.

Identity
Expectations were low when the
Tar Heels began their season back in
February. UNC was picked by the media
to finish last in the ACC, and through the
first six games of the season, the team
played how many thought they would.
North Carolina had lost a talented
group of seniors from the year before and
used the first month of the season to figure out its personnel. Midfielders Chris
Cloutier and Steve Pontrello were converted to attackers, and the team struggled
offensively on the way to a 3-3 record.
After a loss against Massachusetts on
March 12, the Tar Heels held a meeting
in a hotel room in Amherst, Mass. Here,
the team talked about who it wanted to
be, and what kind of legacy it wanted to

leave behind.
We let everything out on the table ...
junior defenseman Austin Pifani said at
a press conference on May 24. I think
that loss in particular ... it was a special
moment. It definitely didnt feel good, but
having those moments happen during the
season can help bring you together.

Pressure
After the Massachusetts loss, North
Carolina went 4-2 heading into its
regular-season finale against No. 1 Notre
Dame. The Tar Heels likely needed a win
to have a chance at making the NCAA
Tournament, but found themselves down
15-10 with 10 minutes left in the game.
No one would have batted an eye if the
Tar Heels accepted defeat, but instead the
team fought back. From that moment on,
North Carolina outscored the Fighting
Irish 7-0 to win the game and earn the
No. 1 seed in the ACC Tournament.
UNC ended up losing in its first conference tournament game, but it did just
enough to earn an at-large bid into the
NCAA Tournament. As they did before
the season, the media didnt expect the
Tar Heels to make any noise against some
of the best teams in the country, but this
ended up being a blessing in disguise.
I continue to talk about theres no pressure on these guys. None ... Coach Joe
Breschi said after UNCs 18-13 win over
Loyola in the national semifinals. Nobody
expected we barely got in the tournament. Eight minutes to go in the first
Notre Dame game we may not be here. So
it was almost a relief that we got in.
And now we have an opportunity
to just let our hair down and play. And
thats what these guys are doing.

Glory
Breschi couldnt sleep the night before
the championship game. He was still
searching for what he was going to tell
his team at breakfast in the morning.
After thinking for a while, he flipped on
the TV in his hotel room. The face of Ray
Lewis, former Baltimore Ravens linebacker, popped up on the screen. It was footage
of a speech Lewis made during the Ravens
improbable 2000 Super Bowl run.
Kick the doors in, Lewis told his
teammates.
Breschi, a Baltimore native, told his
players the story of Lewis and his team
the next morning. And by the end of the
game Monday, the Tar Heels had knocked
the door over onto their opponents.
It could have gone differently, sure.
No one would have blamed UNC if it
gave up a goal with under a minute left.
No one expected them to be able to survive a man down in overtime after Luke
Goldstock was called for a penalty with
3.9 seconds left in regulation.
They had my back, Goldstock said.
The Tar Heels had nothing to lose, and
played like it with their backs against
the wall from Zach Powers throwing
his body toward a shooting Terrapin
to Brian Balkams subsequent save, to
Cloutiers game-winner at the other end.
No one thought the game would play
out the way it did in the last few minutes.
If they did, maybe UNC would have
folded under the pressure.
Maybe the Tar Heels would have been
what people thought they would be
instead of what they ended up becoming.
National champions.

UNC system will not enforce House Bill 2

BOG hopes to see pending
lawsuits against the
University dropped.
By Cole Stanley
State National Editor

The University of North Carolina

system told a federal court Friday it
wont enforce House Bill 2, which
would require transgender students to
use the restroom which corresponds
to the sex on their birth certificates.
I have no intent to exercise my
authority to promulgate any guidelines or regulations that require transgender students to use the restrooms
consistent with their biological sex,
UNC-system President Margaret

Spellings said in an affidavit.

Spellings statement regarding
this non-enforcement was filed in
a motion asking a federal court to
stay legal proceedings against the
university system while a higher
court decides a separate case from
Virginia, which involves a transgender student suing a county school
board over a policy prohibiting him
from using the boys restroom.
UNC Board of Governors member Marty Kotis said the board is
hopeful pending legal action against
the University will be dropped
altogether because the system has
never taken a position in support of
enforcement of HB2.
The legal pressure weve faced is
certainly unfortunate the position
of the University has always been

that we do not discriminate against

our students based on any criterion,
Kotis said, We have not changed any
of our nondiscrimination policies.
But critics of the Board of
Governors and President Spellings
point to inconsistencies in the way
HB2 and transgendered students
concerns have been considered.
This most recent decision is
completely at odds with orders
issued by President Spellings
which were effectively UNCs own
version of Dont Ask Dont Tell.
Transgendered students have been
made to feel uncomfortable and
unwelcome, said Courtney Sams,
president of UNC Young Democrats.
Now that theres pending legal
action, Spellings and the BOG are
suddenly becoming enlightened to

what should have been their position from the beginning, said Sams.
Im glad theyve taken the stance
they have, but I would not say its
particularly praiseworthy to decide
to follow your own nondiscrimination ordinances.
The UNC College Republicans
have declined to take an official
position on the systems decision.
In April, Spellings ordered all
UNC campuses to comply with the
new law, instructing them to ensure
public facilities, such as restrooms,
were used only by those individuals
whose biological sex was consistent
with the facility, despite gender identity being included in the university
systems non-discrimination policy.
UNC system spokesperson Joni
Worthington reiterated despite UNCs

The one percent that believed in us was probably in our locker room.

Nobody expected it except for the guys in the locker room.

MOLLY HENDRICK

JOE BRESCHI

commitment to carrying out state

laws, HB2 does not grant enforcement authority to the University, or
any other government agency.
Absent that authority, we have
to look at our own policies, and our
nondiscrimination policy has not
changed, said Worthington.
Marty Kotis said the legal action
against the University, as well as
political tactics by both the state and
federal government, are irresponsible and harmful to many.
Consider that those affected by
this political gamesmanship include
so many people from researchers
doing lifesaving work, to our lowest
income students trying to make a
life for themselves, said Kotis.

How To Prevent a Mountain Misadventure

By Ashlen Renner
Staff Writer

Before spring semester

ended, I counted down the
weeks until my great mountain
adventure. I didnt anticipate
getting lost on the Blue Ridge
Parkway or my GPS losing signal on the first night.
There are signs that say
CLIFF AHEAD everywhere,
but all you can see is a dark
abyss on the side of the road.
Cell service is spotty at best,
and sometimes there isnt a
junction to get off the highway
for miles.
For all you people looking
toward the western part of
North Carolina for the sum-

mer, here are some tips on how

to prevent a mountain misadventure.
First, get a map. You
know those paper things
that people used to use to
go everywhere? They may
be old school, awkward to
unfold, and hard to navigate,
however, sometimes a good
ole map will be more reliable
than Siri.
Secondly, press button and
go may sound great, but you
should study where you need
to go beforehand. Its not fun
backtracking.

Summertime is the time of
the year we spend traveling,
memory-making and

FEATURED ONLINE READER COMMENT

Youre required by law to divulge your race
when you submit comments and theyll
ignore it because youre black?

Get out
and take
a walk,
Heels!

hapel Hill is a walking

town. During my first
year at UNC, I complained almost everyday about
the daunting trek from south
campus to main campus. My
sophomore year, I lived minutes away from Greenlaw Hall
where most of my classes are.
This summer Im in Carrboro
and in the fall, Ill be in an
apartment down MLK. So Ill
be back to walking. And no, I
wont be doing George Michael
Bluths sad Charlie Brown walk
from Arrested Development.
Im happy to report, after
two years of walking around
Chapel Hill, Ive come to love
it. More importantly, I choose
a long walk anywhere over a
bus ride almost every time.
There is no glamorizing the
south campus struggle stroll,
but I want to say it did condition me to walk anywhere. The
public transportation options
are wonderful here, but you
miss so much when youre
sitting on the bus. Walking
around campus literally forces
you to stop and smell the roses,
to actually look at your fellow
pedestrians and to appreciate
Chapel Hills abundant beauty.
Without my walk every day in
my first year from south campus, how would I have found
the beautiful Genome Science
path? Of course, its easy to
remember things fondly when
you dont experience them as
often, but walking from south
campus was actually a wonderful fate to have.
Ive fallen in love with
Chapel Hill because Ive
walked around it at different
points of the day. Have you
ever wandered home around
3 a.m. when the sprinklers
are on and theres no one else
awake (at least, you cant see
them)? The Olde Campus
Lower Quad community never
looked more beautiful, I can
assure you. I walked home
the night after the tornado
came in February and the wind
was out of control; there was
something magical about the
way campus looked when it
was being blown about. I love
taking walks through the arboretum and upper campus near
sunset. UNC at dusk makes
me feel like the whole world
is exists here. When Franklin
Street is full of people, I feel
like Im standing right in
Chapel Hills chest. Under the
lights of the Varsity, I feel like
Im being squeezed in its heart.
All of these euphoric feelings Ive mentioned are hard
to come by, and some of which
Ive never felt before becoming a part of Chapel Hills
ecosystem. And the way Ive
come to feel at home here at
UNC is by walking throughout campus and trying to take
it in as much as possible. One
of the most wonderful feelings
is realizing suddenly, This is
my life. I had that moment
when I was walking home
from work one night, on a
route that had become routine
for me. So take a walk around
town and really try to soak it
all in; this is all of our lives,
even when we just pass each
other on the way to class.

Look at the entire
picture, not just
the stalls involved

ow dare President
Spellings ignore a
law that is meant
to protect the wives,
daughters, and sisters of
America. In what world
does it make sense to
allow transgender women
the luxury of occupying a
restroom that corresponds
with their gender? Why
would Spellings give agency to men that are bound
to take advantage of the
law and enter womens
restrooms? Amirite?
Not really.
To the I dont want my
wife and daughter being
in the same restroom as a
man, crowd: Where is the
range and concern when
your wives and daughters
are verbally harassed by
men simply for walking down the street as a
woman?
Where is the outrage
when your wives and
daughters are groped and
grabbed by the same men

that use restroom with

you?
Why is it that so many
people are up in arms
about who gets to share
private spaces when so
many people commit
crude acts in public?
You should be just as
concerned with what happens in the dark corners
of night clubs and in
between lofted beds in college dorm rooms.
Women are targeted
in all realms of their life.
Taking care of their business, behind a locked stall,
isnt halfway as daunting
as walking down a sidewalk alone.
Much of the rage is
unprecedented for. If
a perverted man (or
woman) had the intention of entering a womens
bathroom, they probably
have already.
Ensure that the men
and boys in your life have
a clear understanding of
how women, and people in
general, should be treated.
Since the topic wont go
away anytime soon, take
the time to learn about the

language and differentiations that exist on the gender spectrum. That may
take away some of your
reservations.
If your loved ones are
exceptionally vulnerable
to being attacked, encourage them to take a self
defense class. (Obviously,
for children, this does not
directly apply, but if they
are using the restroom in
public they are probably
with a guardian anyway.)
Is it fair to have strong
opinions regarding HB2?
Absolutely. There is validation in being concerned
for ones female family
members. However, consider the safety concerns
on both sides of the issue.
For cisgender women,
there may be males that
take advantage of the law.
For transgender women,
there is the risk of being
harrassed or attacked by
entering a mens restroom.
So, before you take post
outside a public restroom
while your loved one uses
it, think about the many
other ways you could protect them.

Fresh Heels and history

Orientation should
include recent
history, too

So its RAH, RAH,

Carlina lina, RAH,
RAH, Carlina lina,
RAH, RAH, Carlina GO
TO HELL DUKE!
hen we came
to orientation
we knew that
wed learn our amazing
fight song. We expected to
pick out the restaurants
on Franklin that wed
frequent once we stepped
foot on campus. We knew,
for a fact, that we would
find our dorms more
quickly than we did during our first, post-acceptance visit. What we didnt
know, however, is the climate we would be greeted
by when we stepped foot
on the quad our first day
of campus. We didnt
know what issues and tensions would spill over into
our academic year.
We may have had an
idea, but you can only
gather so much from

headlines and brief conversations.

Summer orientation is
difficult to run, already,
with only a couple of
days allotted for teaching
students and soothing/
informing parents in
preparation for year one at
Carolina.
However, being prepared for registering for
classes and understanding the racial climate on
campus can have an equal
impact on a new student.
To be clear, this is not to
say that the two are equal
in all realms, since being
enrolled in classes is the
single most important
idenfier in classifying any
student.
Attempting to navigate
life as a full-time student
in a racially tense environment can have a detrimental affect on anyone
especially a first year
student.
Sessions are already
structured to arm students with the maximum
amount of information
possible before fall, but

during the down time

and walking to and from
sessions, there is room to
inform.
It wouldnt have to be a
formal presentation with a
Q&A to follow, but something. At the bare minimum, those involved with
orientation should strive
to enlighten new students.
This isnt limited to orientation leaders, either.
For those who happen
to run into a student, and
organizations that participate in orientation in
some form, you have the
opportunity and access as
well.
If youre an incoming
student, find current student leaders on Twitter
and ask them questions!
Although many of you
may know students
already, it is beneficial to
hear various perspetives.
Even if its in passing,
you never know the difference a conversation can
make in making a student
feel a little more prepared.
Knowledge is power, after
all.

At first, UNCSystem President

is wonderful, but we wish it

TO THE EDITOR:
A couple of weeks
ago, an e-mail from
the Chancellors Office
informed the UNC community that the Arts
Integration Working
Group, a committee
of administrators, had
reached a sobering conclusion: this campus has
a pressing need for more
administrators, and committees composed thereof.
These senior-level
administrators ordered
the hiring of a senior-level
administrator responsible
for implementing a shared
vision, mission and strategic roadmap for the arts at
Carolina.
With this coming hot on
the heels of the February
creation of a Chief
Integrity Officer administrative position, it is evident that the University is
getting serious about the
dire lack of administrators
around here.
Thank goodness.
Earlier this week, I nearly
walked from Davis Library
to Lenoir without tripping over one of these
terribly serious people.
Administrators fill a multitude of crucial roles here
at Carolina. For example,
administrators can sit on
working groups overseeing
the hiring of other administrators.
They can wear dark suits
and long faces at events
like last years Town Hall
on Race and Inclusion, in
order to demonstrate the
Universitys commitment to
racial harmony.
When it rains and the Pit
fills with water, administrators can be laid end-to-end
to form a bridge so students
can get to class with dry
feet.
I think I speak for the
student body at large when

Speech by alumnus
was much needed
TO THE EDITOR:
Although I am not a
current UNC student or
alumnus, I must commend Donovan Livingston
on his recent speech at
Harvards Graduate School
of Education commencement ceremony. It was
undoubtedly inspirational,
as he managed to tackle
the very real and pertinent
racial plights within our
educational system, while
also challenging educators
to unlock the potential
within their own students.
I was most intrigued by his
blunt denotations of injustice. The blatant injustice
that serves as the impetus
to inequality within our
schools does not seem to be
labeled as an injustice to all.
Donovan highlights the fact
that we fail to acknowledge
the very real inequalities,
injustices, and systemic
burdens that minority students are forced to carry
along with their book bags.
This failure to acknowledge
means that You are a star
is printed across classroom
walls, while educators have
already made up in their
mind that the brown faces
in their classrooms will
amount to nothing. The
changing of locks means
telling inner city minority students The only
way to make it out of your
situation is through education and then failing to
provide enough textbooks
for the students to learn.
Education is no equalizer
and minority students have
never been on equal playing
fields.

Lemurpalooza hopes to educate about conservation

The event will be
held Saturday at the
Duke Lemur Center.
By Alexandra Blazevich
Staff Writer

While UNC may have

bested Duke in sports this
year, the Blue Devils have one
advantage over the Tar Heels
they have lemurs.
Luckily, those lemurs will
be accessible to everyone
regardless of which university they root for this
Saturday for the Duke Lemur
Centers fifth bi-annual
Lemurpalooza.
The event will be held
at the Duke Lemur Center,
which currently houses 240
lemurs from 13 different
species.
Janice Kalin, a Duke
Lemur Center employee and
Lemurpalooza manager, said
the Center is grateful for its
wide variety of lemur species.
We are so lucky in the
Triangle because this is the
largest collection of lemurs
outside of their native
Madagascar, said Kalin.
Although Duke Lemur
Center holds scheduled

tours each week, where

guests can pay to see the
lemurs around the center,
Lemurpalooza is known as
a special event at the Duke
Lemur Center and is only
held twice a year.
Chris Smith, Kalins colleague at the Duke Lemur
Center, said he thinks
Lemurpalooza is the most
interactive event the center
holds.
Lemurpalooza is the biggest lemur party this side of
Madagascar, said Smith.
The party, which is usually sold out, includes a
DJ, fun activities for kids,
food trucks, and of course,
lemurs.
Lemurpalooza which is
priced at $50 per vehicle
allows guests to see 10 of the
13 species housed at the center. Vehicles can be filled with
as many or as few people as
the participants wish. It also
includes a lemur adoption,
where each party can pick a
lemur to sponsor and receive
weekly updates on their
adopted lemur.
Unfortunately, adopted
lemurs cannot be taken
home after the event has
come to an end.
Smith said this event also

educates the public. He said

lemurs top the threatened
mammals list, which makes
conservation of the 110 different species a very important
issue.
We are moving the veil on
scientific research and wildlife conservation, Smith said.
In an effort to bridge
the gap between kids and
the underlying science of
lemurs, Lemurpalooza
added the Meet a Scientist
program this year. Parents
and their children will be
able to walk up to a scientist, ask them questions,
and discuss lemurs in a
non-judgmental, one-on-one
environment.
For the first time for
Lemurpalooza, we are really
making these people accessible to the public, Smith
said This is a cool learning
opportunity, especially for
young audiences.
A Duke Lemur Center

Welch communicates with
other scientists and community members in Madagascar
year-round after living in
the country off the coast of
Africa for 15 years.

Local and national writers

join petition against Trump
The petition has
grown to more than
22,500 signatures.
By Dominic Andrews
Staff Writer

Over 450 U.S. writers initiated a stand against Donald

Trump by signing a petition
in direct opposition to him.
Of the 450 writers, several
live in the greater Chapel Hill
area, and one teaches at UNC.
The petition now has more
than 22,500 signatures, more
than double its goal.
Alan Shapiro, writer and
professor in the english
and comparative literature
department, was forwarded
the petition through his network of writers and decided
to sign.
I find the prospect of a
Trump presidency really terrifying, Shapiro said. I think
he is a new low in American
politics, in at least my time.
Ive never seen a bigger
scoundrel run for the presidency than him.
Shapiro said Trump is a
bigot and a liar, and the violence at his rallies is scary.

I think he is a new
low in American
politics, in at least
my time.
Alan Shapiro
Writer and professor
Shapiro said writers in particular are taking a stand
against Trump because of his
use of language and the lack
of truth in what he says.
We care about language,
and we care about thought
and we care about the truth,
Shapiro said. Every time
this guy opens his mouth,
he lies and nobody seems to
call him on it.
Chiazam Omenyi, a rising
junior, weighed in on the
issue of professors voicing
their political opinions publically.
I dont see anything
wrong with it, Omenyi said.
I think that everyone should
be able to voice their opinions if they feel like they have
the need to.
Allan Gurganus, a
writer and activist from
Hillsborough, also signed the
petition.
I think a lot of people

feel that the first amendment is too precious to actually use, theyre saving their
right to speak up eventually,
Gurganus said. But its time
to actually exercise that right
and make a little noise when
you see something disturbing
going on.
Gurganus said he doesnt
believe the petition will stop
or change Trump but he said
writers are standing up to
Trump to protect their right
to continue to express themselves freely. The petition
displays the original signees
names for all to see.
I dont think anything
can change him, Gurganus
said. I think hes made himself clear he has very little
understanding of foreign
policy, hes superficial all the
way through.
Instead, Gurganus said his
goal is to rally his audience
of readers behind this cause
and he hopes other writers
will do the same.
We are trying to use the
influence we have to bring
attention to what seems like
a grievous wrong, Gurganus
said.

Total county homelessness

count may be misleading
By Luke Bollinger
Staff writer

The most recent count of

those experiencing homelessness in Orange County suggests that homelessness has
decreased but officials say
this count could be inaccurate.
According to the Pointin-Time Count taken in
January by the Orange
County Partnership to End
Homelessness, the total number of homeless people in the
county decreased from 129 in
2015 to 80 in 2016. The count
includes anyone living in shelters and transitional housing.
I wouldnt even go so far
as to say homelessness has
decreased the Point-inTime number has decreased,
said Corey Root, homeless
programs coordinator at the
Orange County Partnership to
End Homelessness.
Maggie West, program coordinator at the
Community Empowerment
Fund, said she believes the
count is not conclusive in
determining how many
people are actually homeless
in the county. She said there
has not been a decrease in
demand for services required

by those suffering from

homelessness.
Root said the count is done
on one night, and adverse
weather could have negatively
affected the count.
Root said the partnership
is working to figure out if
homelessness has actually
decreased. Regardless, the
ability to provide affordable
housing to those experiencing
homelessness has been greatly impacted by rising housing
prices, she said.
Allison De Marco, chair
of the Orange County
Partnership to End
Homelessness, said transitional housing programs
such as those provided by the
Inter-Faith Council for Social
Service and CEF work to
get people off the streets and
into affordable housing but
have been challenged by rising
housing prices.
The lack of affordable
housing resulted in extended
stays and longer wait-lists for
housing services, she said.
West said there are very
few affordable housing
options for the homeless
in Orange County, and this
has increased the need for
many individuals to stay with

friends or family, moving

from couch to couch.
The Point-in-Time count
does not include individuals
who are temporarily staying with a friend or relative,
according to the PIT report.
Root said one explanation for the noted decrease in
homelessness is the closing
of the homeless shelter. The
shelter closed last year and
reopened as a transitional
house, she said, meaning
people housed in the shelter
stay there longer.
De Marco said the lack
of an emergency shelter system might have caused this
decrease in the homeless count,
as people need to move away to
receive those types of services.
The lack of an emergency shelter system will be
addressed at the next partnership meeting, De Marco said.
Root said whether there
has been an actual significant
decrease in homelessness, the
collaboration between the partnership and related agencies
has been crucial in addressing
homelessness.
There is a lot of excellent
work going on, she said.

What went wrong for UNC baseball?

Tar Heels miss the
NCAA Tournament for
second straight year.
By Jeremy Vernon
Sports Editor

Things were supposed to

be different.
Heading into the season,
the North Carolina baseball
team was ready to separate
itself from its unsuccessful
2015 campaign, a year that
saw the Tar Heels miss out on
the NCAA Tournament for
the first time since 2001.
The players had bought
into the system. The few
bad apples that harmed the
teams chemistry a year ago
were gone. Coach Mike Fox
was excited, and so were the
fans.
And things started off
so well. But in the last two
months of the season, North
Carolina came back down to
Earth. Or maybe the better
term is crash-landed.
Either way, things began
to snowball over that
stretch. Strengths became
question marks, and the few
weaknesses the team had
over the first 20 games of
the season became bigger
and bigger problems over
the final 35.
Things culminated with
Mondays news that the Tar
Heels had missed out on the
NCAA Tournament field for
the second year in a row
the first time that had happened since 1996-97.
So what happened to
North Carolina?

At the plate
In the first 20 games of
the season, UNC compiled a
18-2 record. The Tar Heels
scored double-digit runs 11
times during the stretch. Six
players hit over .300, while
two more were above .275,
accounting for an overall
team average of .322.
But in conference play,
North Carolina struggled at
the dish. Over the course of
30 conference games, only
one regular starter junior
center fielder Tyler Ramirez
hit above .300. Five hit
less than .215.
Strikeouts jumped from
104 over the first 20 games
(5.2 per game) to 230 over
the final 35 (6.6 per game).
So what happened? One
might think that it may be
because the Tar Heels faced
off against tougher competition down the stretch in
conference play, but the Tar
Heels may have done this to
themselves.
After such a hot start
offensively, most of the
players didnt know how to
adjust when they hit their
first slumps.
When things werent
going the way they wanted,
they admittedly tried to do
too much, and started to do
things that they didnt do over
the first month of the season
chasing pitches out of the
zone, not calling for time in
the box to regain a rhythm
and digging themselves into
several pitchers counts.
Because of this the Tar
Heels went from one of the
most potent offenses in the

Scholars and HB2:

what has been lost
Departments worry
HB2 will affect
incoming students.
By Dominic Andrews
Staff Writer

House Bill 2 has drawn

its most recent critics
University academic departments.
Departments across the
University have issued statements in opposition to HB2,
in hopes of continuing to
promote inclusivity.
Silvia Tomkov, chair of
the department of womens
and gender studies, said
chairs of all departments
within the College of Arts
and Sciences recently met
to decide how to respond to
HB2.
In our meeting, we
discussed whether and
how departments should
respond, Tomkov said.
There was a general agreement that departments
should issue their own
departmental statements.
Tomkov said her
department in particular
should take a stance on
the issue because the bill
addresses much larger issues
than just gender.
I think that it is our
responsibility as researchers, scholars and teachers to
have an opinion, Tomkov
said. We are citizens as well
as employees, and as citizens
we all have the responsibility
to address issues that affect
our fellow citizens.
Tomkov also said there
are growing concerns among
both scholars at UNC and
scholars from other institutions stemming from HB2.
We have heard anxieties
and withdrawals from other
scholars from other institutions who do not wish to
participate in any activities
related to the University,
Tomkov said.
She said conferences are
being cancelled or moved to
other states, and now UNC
scholars have to explain to
their colleagues that they are
better than this law.
Tomkov said many
scholars who work at state
universities are unable to
travel to North Carolina
because they lack funding.
If you are teaching at a
state university in the state of
Washington or teaching at a
state university in New York
State, you cannot use your
travel funds to go to North
Carolina, Tomskov said.
So for faculty, they will not
travel because they are not

...they wanted to
be here, but they
couldnt come
because of HB2.
Elizabeth Mayer-Davis
Chairperson of nutrition department

wealthy people.
Professor Rudi ColloredoMansfeld, chairperson of the
department of anthropology,
said he has had to deal with
questions regarding HB2 at
academic conferences.
Colleagues at other universities and graduate students at other universities
ask us about it, ColloredoMansfeld said. They want
to know what it means and
theyve heard about it, and
now it is a part of our reputation when we go to professional conferences.
Professor Elizabeth MayerDavis, chairperson of the
department of nutrition, said
she was concerned about the
affect HB2 would have on
incoming students.
Part of what motivated
the statement, that I felt like
we really needed to do, was
we did have some students
who decided not to come to
UNC, even though they said
explicitly that they loved the
Gillings School of Global
Public Health, they loved our
department, they wanted to
be here, but they couldnt
come because of HB2,
Mayer-Davis said.
Mayer-Davis said she
wanted to make sure students
understood the departments
perspective and culture.
We did not want students,
prospective students, to have
any sense that we would be
anything but inclusive and
respectful, Mayer-Davis said.
Although the University
has faced obstacles because
of HB2, it has also been
making efforts to create an
inclusive environment for
LGBTQ students.
UNC Facilities Services
has a page on their website
listing all available gender
neutral, single-occupancy
restrooms on campus. Anna
Wu, associate vice chancellor for facilities services, said
she is focusing on providing
resources to a diverse campus community.
The first step was to
update the inventory with
all of the gender-neutral,
single-use restrooms that
we have available, Wu said.
The next step this summer
is to identify other single-use
restrooms that can be made
gender-neutral.

country to a group who

could struggle to string hits
together.

On the mound
North Carolina had two
talented starters in its rotation junior Zac Gallen and
sophomore J.B. Bukauskas
but what hurt the Tar Heels
down the stretch was the lack
of a solid No. 3 option.
With Gallen and
Bukauskas slotted into the
first two games of a weekend
series, the third game was
often left to sophomore righty
Jason Morgan. Morgans
numbers werent terrible a
3-3 record with a 4.10 ERA
but he struggled to stay in
the game when he pitched.
In the sophomores last 10
starts, eight times he lasted
less than five innings. This
often left UNCs bullpen bearing most of the load through
the middle and late innings.
Pitching on the final day
of the series ended up being
an achilles heel for the Tar
Heels in conference play. If
the team lost one of its first
two games when Gallen or
Bukauskas took the mound,
there was a pretty good
chance it would lose the
series.
In ACC play, UNC went
2-8 in Game 3s. This was part
of the reason why UNC lost
six of its final eight conference series.
North Carolinas bullpen
began to struggle as well
down the stretch. Through
the first 20 games of the season, sophomore lefty Hunter
Williams had a 0.64 ERA in

DTH/CALEECE NASH
For the first time since 1996-97, UNC baseball will miss the NCAA Tournament two years in a row.

12 appearances. In ACC play,

Williams made seven appearances his ERA ballooned to
9.00. Thats a run an inning.
Four other relievers who
made at least four appearances over the season had an
ERA above 5.00 in conference play.

Whats next?

Fight raises school violence question

An incident at Chapel
Hill High prompts
NAACP involvement.
By Taylor Baisey and Zoe
Schaver
Senior Writers

An incident at Chapel
Hill High School has raised
questions about how schools
approach discipline for violent behavior especially
when the students involved
are racial minorities.
Alexandra Benavides, a
15-year-old Chapel Hill High
School freshman, said she
was approached by a group of
girls at school and attacked by
one of the girls.
A video of the incident
shows the girl shouting at
Benavides before beginning
to hit her and pull her hair
after she tries to walk away.

Photos from the day of the

incident show Benavides
bloodied knee from being
pushed to the ground.
For Benavides parents,
the disturbing part of the
incident has not so much
been the altercation itself but
the schools lack of response,
said Sara Salgado, Benavides
mother.
Its very sad to hear this
happened to my daughter, she
said. I also dont want anyone
else to have this same situation,
because its hard. We send our
kids to school and think theyre
safe and nothings going to
happen.
The Reverend Robert
Campbell, president of
the Chapel Hill-Carrboro
NAACP, said students who
are minorities are less likely
to be treated as victims in
incidents of violence and that
the school should have investigated this incident further.

Theres too much violence

going on in the schools thats
going unchecked, he said.
After seeing her daughter
come home with bruises and a
bloodied lip, Salgado said she
kept her home from school the
next day and went to report the
incident to Chapel Hill police
as well as to school administrators but was told that her
daughter was suspended.
Salgado said administrators
told her that disciplinary policies dictated that the incident
was considered a fight and
not an assault, since the video
showed Benavides putting her
hands up.
The CHCCS board policy
on fights, assaults and discipline procedures states,
Investigations of fights will
include the determination of
self-defense.
In 2015, Chapel Hills
Campaign for Equity, an organization comprising Chapel

Hill-Carrboro City Schools

teachers, students, parents
and members of the Chapel
Hill-Carrboro NAACP, published a report on the state of
racial equity in CHCCS.
According to the report,
Hispanic and Latino students
in the district were more than
twice as likely as white students
to receive suspensions between
2012 and 2015. Black students
were more than four times as
likely to be suspended.
When Salgado brought
the video of the incident to
Chapel Hill High School
administrators, she said they
finally agreed not to suspend
Benavides any longer but
that meant the girl who hit
her would have her suspension shortened as well.
Meanwhile, Salgado said
administrators offered little
help to keep her daughter
away from the girl.

parents account of the story.

Fixed-term faculty taking

steps to longer contracts
The 2008 recession
caused the shift to
shorter contracts.
By Jamie Gwaltney
University Editor

UNCs Faculty Council and

Faculty Forward, an advocacy group separate from the
University, have been working
towards ensuring longer contracts for fixed-term faculty.
They became one step closer
to accomplishing this goal
when Provost James Dean
announced he recommended
giving longer contracts to these
faculty members.
However, this recommendation does not secure longer
contracts for faculty not on the
tenure track because the decision is still up to the individual
departments.
45.5% of the current fulltime faculty are fixed-term.
Nancy Fisher, chair of the
fixed-term faculty committee of
faculty council, said the council
became aware of this problem
after distributing a survey to
faculty two years ago.
Fisher said the recession in
2008 caused the University
to turn to shorter contracts
because of the uncertainty

They may love teaching, they may be some

of our best teachers, and thats the irony.
Altha Cravey
Faculty Forward member

with the economy. However,

the economy is more stable
now but contract lengths for
fixed-term faculty are still
shorter, at one year or sometimes even one-semester long.
It doesnt give a great feeling of job security and also its
a little bit unnerving to have to
renew your contract every single year even though you know
youre coming back to teach or
do research or provide clinical
care, Fisher said.
Peter Pihos, a lecturing
fellow at Duke University,
said as a fixed-term faculty
member, he understands
the struggles of short-term
contracts, like little time for
planning courses, if their contracts were to be renewed.
It is a system that is thriving on cheapening, casualizing
labor and I think its really sad,
in part, it just reflects our priorities, Pihos said.
Altha Cravey, a member of
Faculty Forward, said their
organization held a speak out
in February 2015, telling stories from fixed-term faculty of
their struggles.

There has been this big,

rapid change moving away
from tenure track people like
me to people who dont have
long contracts and sometimes
dont have benefits and dont
have good pay, Cravey said.
Cravey said shorter contracts can also be linked to
funding shortages because it
is cheaper to have fixed-term
faculty.
When budgets are tight,
it becomes something easy
to slide into, this reliance on
these non-tenure track folks,
who dont have much job
security, Cravey said. They
may love teaching, they may
be some of our best teachers,
and thats the irony. They are
often times some of the best,
most dedicated teachers, but
they are really working under
difficult circumstances.
Cravey said their event
gained the Provosts attention,
who arranged a meeting with
Faculty Forward to discuss
their concerns.
One of the things he
said was that this contract
length was something that he

thought, among the different issues that we were concerned about, that was one he
thought that he could move
on and begin to think about
and he offered to collect some
information and get it back to
us, which he did, Cravey said.
The work of both groups
showed the Provost the problems related to shorter contracts, like lack of stability for
the fixed-term faculty.
Even if theyve been here
for several years, they dont
know until the last minute if
they should order books, if
theyre going to have money
to pay the rent, Cravey said.
However, longer contracts
could mean more than job
security for some.
It benefits the University by
indicating to the faculty that
they are valued, that they are
not disposable or dispensable
within a year, Fisher said. But
one-year contracts leaves that
at the end of the year, there is
no job unless it is renewed.
After the Provosts recommendation, the next years will
show how fixed-term faculty
is impacted.
It is not the best we can do,
Cravey said. I think we can do
better.

Law school approaching first anniversary with new dean

The dean started
with many vacancies
in his faculty.
By Jamie Gwaltney
University Editor

Whether it is for speaking

classical Greek and Latin or
wearing a bow tie every day,
Martin Brinkley has made
a name for himself as he
approaches his first anniversary as dean of UNCs
School of Law.
Brinkley said he faced
challenges from the beginning when he arrived to a law
school in need of new faculty.
When I came in as dean,
we basically had an almostempty administrative suite,
Brinkley said.
After many faculty left or
retired, Brinkley said he found
himself with a heavier workload, missing the help normally
provided by faculty.
However, Brinkley said
the experience taught him a
lot about how the law school
works.
It makes you better
informed when you go to
hire, Brinkley said.
Brinkley said his goals

after he started as dean were

to develop relationships with
faculty and students.
I thought it was really
important that I proved that
we were able to work together
well, and I think weve really
succeeded in that regard,
Brinkley said.
Brinkley said he has been
away from the law school this
year, meeting with alumni and
constituencies, but he hopes to
spend more time at the school
and with students next year.
Ive tried to make myself
available, especially with students who want to talk one-onone about their career goals,
any problems that theyre having, Brinkley said. I hope Im
able to give them a little bit of
perspective that is helpful.
Brinkley said another goal
he had for next year was to
create a strategic planning
process to decide the future
of the law school covering
topics like curriculum, external
support and the relationship
between the law school and the
University.
I came to this position
really just wanting to be of
service to the school and to
try to do everything I could
to lift it, to strengthen it, to
try to bring new resources

to their side of it, and thats

what Im hoping to do,
Brinkley said.
Elizabeth Gibson, a law
school professor, said Brinkley
has done a good job at redefining roles in the administration
and hiring new faculty.
When he first started last
summer, one of his main
goals was to meet individually with all faculty and staff
members, find out what
everybody was doing, what
their interests were, what
their goals were, Gibson said.
Ashley Kersnowski, the
newly inducted president of
the Student Bar Association,
said so far Brinkley has developed a good reputation in the
law school.
Overall my opinion so
far is that he really cares
about the students and that
he really wants to make an
impact that will last far past
his reign as the dean, and he
does it in a very humble manner from what Ive gathered,
Kersnowski said.
Kersnowski said Brinkley
has been working to gain
funding for the law school and
widen the schools network.
His mission was to go out
and find the funding that we
needed because as the new

dean, you have to make those

connections with alum. You
have to just throw your net out
as far as you can, she said.
She said SBA has a good
relationship with Brinkley

and looks forward to working

with him.
He definitely has created
an environment where he
is ready and willing to hear
everyone out, and I think

that is really important, especially in a law school where

everyone has an opinion,
Kersnowski said.

Funding to fight the Zika virus may soon be available to NC

House Resolution 736
would provide money
for Zika prevention.
By Jessica Baucom
Staff writer

With their annual

Memorial Day recess fast
approaching, Congress
remains locked in debate over
funding to combat the growing threat of Zika virus in the
United States.
The Zika Response
Appropriations Act was
introduced in the House of
Representatives on May 16 as
a part of House Resolution
736. The introduction of this
act came after several months
of debate over the urgency

of the Zika threat, dating

back to February 3 of this
year when Senators Lamar
Alexander and Richard Burr
wrote a letter to Secretary of
Health and Human Services,
Sylvia Burwell.
The White House responded by asking Congress for
over $1.8 billion in funds to
combat the virus and, by April
6, reallocated $589 million
that were unallocated after
the Ebola outbreak of 2014
to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.
The act currently in debate,
if passed, will provide extra
funding for the fiscal year,
which ends in September, to
combat the virus with vaccination development and treatment of existing cases. This
funding totals to approximate-

ly $1.24 billion when combined with the earlier reallocation of Ebola resources.
Funds would be distributed among the CDC, the
National Institutes of Health,
the Public Health and Social
Services Emergency Fund of
the Office of the Secretary,
the Administration of Foreign
Affairs, the U.S. Agency for
International Development,
and the Bilateral Economic
Assistance.
After debate on May 18, the
act passed in the House by a
241-184 vote, but was immediately followed by a motion
to reconsider. There was no
objection to the motion and
the resolution was stayed
despite 591 known Zika cases
in the United States.
Helen Lazear is an assis-

...a lot of good efforts are already underway,

but they need adequate funding...
Helen Lazear
Assistant professor and Zika researcher

tant professor and Zika

virus researcher in the
Department of Microbiology
and Immunology at the
school of medicine.
Already a number of federal agencies are involved
with Zika virus response
and that included agencies
like the Centers for Disease
Control and the National
Institutes for Health, and
so a lot of good efforts are
already underway, but they
need adequate funding
in order to be continued,
Lazear said.
In North Carolina, there

have been 12 reported cases

of the Zika virus, but so far
all are travel-related. Sexual
transmission of the virus,
however, makes locally-originating cases an increasingly
serious risk, particularly
after the North Carolina
mosquito tracking and control programs were defunded under former Governor
Bev Perdue and current
Governor Pat McCrory.
The Zika virus has a causal
role for the development
of birth defects, according
to Lazear. One of the most
prominent of these is micro-

cephaly, in which stunted

brain development leads
to an underdeveloped skull
in newborns. In adults, the
Zika virus is also linked to
Guillain-Barre syndrome, an
auto-immune disease which
may lead to paralysis.
Theres a number of
aspects of Zika virus that are
unusual compared to what
weve seen with other viruses,
and we have a lot of work to
do to understand, for example, how the virus is able to
cross the placenta and cause
fetal damage, Lazear said.
Understanding those mechanisms is really important for
being able to provide good
advice and to guide public
health measures.

YOUR UNDISPUTED CHAMPS

DTH/ALEX KORMANN
The North Carolina womens lacrosse team swarms goalkeeper Megan Ward after defeating Maryland, 13-7, to capture the NCAA championship on Sunday at Talen Energy Stadium in Chester, Pa.

Tar Heels win second national title in four years

By John Bauman

DTH/ALEX KORMANN

NC goalkeeper Megan Ward recorded a

career-high 14 saves in Sundays win over
Maryland. This was the second time Ward
helped the Tar Heels win a national championship.

Talen Energy Stadium in Chester,

Pennsylvania, is usually home to the
Philadelphia Union of Major League
Soccer, but this past weekend, it was
home to the NCAA womens lacrosse
Final Four.
The plaza outside the stadium also
took on a different role it was the site of
the Tar Heels post-game celebration after
the team captured the national championship Sunday by beating Maryland 13-7.
It was a celebration that carried on for
hours. Players chatted, celebrated and
soaked in the moment with championship t-shirts on and bits of the championship net around their necks or tied
onto their hats.
The players were happy and were celebrating because there was so much to
celebrate and be happy for.

Redemption

DTH/ALEX KORMANN

ammy Jo Tracy (13) scored eight goals over the

course of the NCAA Tournament, including
two in the title game. She scored on 72.7 percent of the shots she took during the tournament.

They were happy for Megan Ward,

who was pulled in Fridays semifinal
match against Penn State early in the
first. Caylee Waters, her talented backup,
came in, made eight saves and earned
the win. Ward shared the net with
Waters all season long and after practice
before the quarterfinal match against
Notre Dame, the senior described her
relationship with Waters.
Caylee and I have a pretty decent
partnership, Ward said I think we
are both very confident in each others
capabilities, so if someone is having an
off day, it is really nice to know that the
other one is there to perform.
Waters was there to save the day on

Friday, but Sunday in the national championship, Ward played the game of her life.
She made 14 saves, creating her own
moment in the sun as the hero. For a
senior who has sacrificed playing time
throughout her career for the good of
the team, the opportunity to be in goal
and shine during the national championship was priceless.
Its been so long since Ive been at this
podium celebrating with my team, Ward
said. And Caylee got us here as much as
I did, and so to be able to win and be in
my championship game my senior year,
Im very grateful.

Bookends
They were happy for the senior class
that won the last game they will ever play
in a North Carolina uniform. The group
started out as champions when they won
the title in 2013 as first-years. Following
the win over Notre Dame on May 21,
Stephanie Lobb, who was a first-year on
the 2013 team, shared what her class was
striving for.
I think for the senior class especially,
we came in ending on a great note in
Philadelphia, she said. Wed like to have
a little bit of a bookend and finish with
another great end in Philadelphia as well.
The seniors struggled and fought to
have a chance to get back to Philadelphia
to feel that feeling again, and they did so
with a special 2016 team.
This team is so special, and we had
that special team our freshman year
and we felt it from the beginning we got
here, senior Aly Messinger said. We had
the team to win the national championship and thats what we did.
North Carolinas senior class leaves

Chapel Hill with 72 wins over four seasons to just 14 losses. And dont forget
the two shiny championship rings, a
perfect bookend to a magical career in
Carolina blue.

Celebration
Following the win, North Carolina
players and coaches walked out onto
the plaza, greeted by hundreds of fans,
friends and family welcoming them with
hugs and expressions of joy.
The NCAA Championship trophy was
out on the table, and there were pictures,
so many pictures, taken by adoring fans
and proud parents.
They all stayed until the middle of
the second half of the womens lacrosse
Division III championship, which was
played on the same field UNC had just
walked off. Then slowly, the party dwindled down. First the kids and the fans left,
then the players gathered their things,
headed off to surely continue the festive
activities.
Someone carried off the coolers and
the tables, and the plaza turned back
into being just a plaza.
At the end of the day, thats really
the payoff of winning a championship.
Its not the trophy or the records or the
accolades. The rewards of playing on this
special 2016 Tar Heel team would have
carried with the players for the rest of
their lives, win or lose on Sunday.
But the reward of winning the championship is the opportunity to go out and
transform a plaza at an MLS stadium in
Pennsylvania into the best championship
party in the world.

Campus safety determined by One Button

The new alert system
will shave more than ten
minutes off warnings.
By Anna Freeman
Staff Writer

The Department of Public Safety

is debuting the One Button
system change to Alert Carolina
towards the end of this summer.
Derek Kemp, associate vice chancellor for campus safety and risk
management, said the One Button
system takes what used to be a 15
minute process and consolidates it
into a two to three minute process.
What were trying to get is speed
and accuracy of response, Kemp

said.
Matthew Mauzy, IT manager at
the ITS control center, said the One
Button system would essentially
automate several of the software
tools used to send out Alert Carolina
messages. He said Alert Carolina is
more than just a website; it is mass
messaging for email, text messaging
and posts to official University social
media accounts.
So, right now, those activities
are spread across a few different software tools, Mauzy said.
What the One Button program or
automation will do is that instead
of the user having to log in to
individual tools to push out that
first sirens on emergency notification message, theyll be able to
essentially push a button, and it is

physical button.
Mauzy said after the button is
pushed, the automation will take
over behind the scenes and log into
the various tools to send out predetermined messages to all the same
distribution points that would be
done in the past manually.
Kemp said this system is funded
through a $30 student fee, but it
is not tied specifically to the One
Button initiative. He said it is UNC
system-wide change to improve student welfare.
Its a system fee that can support
security, it can also support Title
IX, Kemp said.
Mauzy said there will be a full systems test with the new automation
piece on June 17 with full implementation July 1.

Mauzy said the idea for the One

Button system was inspired by what
other colleges used for their emergency systems but UNCs plan is
intended to meet the specific needs
of the University and the community.
At the May Board of Trustees
meeting, Kemp said the attempted
kidnapping in November 2015 partially prompted the changes to the
Alert Carolina system.
The kidnapping occurred at the
intersection of Kenan Street and
West Cameron Avenue. Chapel
Hill Police charged Keith Robert
Webster Jr., of Durham, with second
degree kidnapping and possession
of a firearm by a felon. The student
was walking when Webster pulled
up in his vehicle and attempted to

force the student into his vehicle.

Webster was armed at the time
of the attempted kidnapping.
According to police, bystanders
helped the student escape.
However, Randy Young, department of public safety spokesperson,
said the One Button system is not
in response to a specific emergency
incident and is the natural progression of Alert Carolina.
Every time we activate the Alert
Carolina system at virtually any
level, there is inherently a review
process, Young said. We look over
not only what went right, what can
be improved upon, not only from
within our own capabilities but also
looking atother universities.
