INVESTIGATION HITS UNC

Butch Davis, Holden Thorp, Dick Baddour and Steve Kirschner give a press conference on possible academic misconduct involving the football team. The
NCAA investigation encapsulated the 2010 UNC football season. It is still unknown when the University will hear decisions from the NCAA.
No timetable for next step NCAA will take with UNC
by Jonathan Jones
sports Editor
Speaking at a Raleigh Sports Club banquet on
Sept. 29, North Carolina athletic director Dick
Baddour said there was “a light at the end of the
tunnel.”
For the previous two months, all talk regarding
UNC football centered on the NCAA investigation
that had two prongs — impermissible agent rela-
tions and possible academic misconduct.
Baddour, now more than two months separated
from his banquet talk, said he doesn’t know when
UNC will hear from the NCAA.
“I don’t know the answer to that,” Baddour said.
“We don’t know when the NCAA will make an
assessment of the situation and give us a reading
on what the next step if there is another step.”
The steps leading to now have been steep for
UNC. Five players have been dismissed from the
football team, including four ruled permanently
ineligible by the NCAA. Associate coach John Blake
resigned amid speculation of his involvement in the
investigation and his relationship with agents.
NCAA investigators first visited campus on July
12 for their first round of interviews with players
and coaches. Their initial trip was to talk with
individuals about their involvement in possible
misconduct regarding agents.
The NCAA review zeroed in on senior defensive
tackle Marvin Austin. He would be dismissed from
the football team on Oct. 11 after UNC had gath-
ered enough information to make a decision.
Baddour said Austin received between $10,000
and $13,000 in impermissible benefits. Since that
ruling, Austin is no longer enrolled at UNC.
Also that day, wide receiver Greg Little and
defensive end Robert Quinn were ruled perma-
nently ineligible for competition by the NCAA. The
two received $10,594 in extra benefits, including
travels expenses and diamond jewelry.
Little and Quinn are still enrolled at UNC, but
Little has hired sports agency Octagon Sports as his
representation as he continues his football career.
What sprung from that investigation was a sepa-
rate branch that saw possible academic misconduct
between players and a former tutor, Jennifer Wiley.
Wiley, along with giving inappropriate academic
assistance, also contributed financial assistance in
excess of $2,000 to players in 2010.
In all, 16 players were held out at least one game
dth file/BJ Dworak
due to their involvement with one or both prongs
of the NCAA review.
Players like Kendric Burney were involved with
both parts of the investigation. Burney received
$1,333 in extra benefits for travel expenses and ini-
tially had to sit out the first six games of the season.
Before he was slated to return, UNC withheld
him longer to further determine his eligibility after
an issue with his academics came to light. Burney
received a failing grade in a core class and must
retake the course next semester.
Although Baddour has referred to some of the
NCAA’s rulings on individual players as harsh, he
said Monday that overall the NCAA has been fair.
“They’ve been very fair in their approach,”
Baddour said. “They’ve been responsive and open
and I don’t have any issues.”
With the NCAA ruling that five players can no
longer compete in intercollegiate athletics and a
former associate coach waist-deep in investiga-
tions, Baddour knows that he’ll be hearing from
the NCAA.
“There will be a response from the NCAA based
on the facts as found through the investigation,” he
said. “I do not know when they will respond.”

About a month later, several
fraternity and sorority members
were arrested for possession of
large amounts of cocaine.
Parents and alumni were com-

University officials — about the

in September. “I’m tired of look-

That’s about when Piner
entered the picture.
In his year of leadership, Piner

changes.
And he wasn’t allowed the
freedom of past IFC presidents. University officials
were looking over his shoulder every step of the way.
There wasn’t a time in 2010 when the University
was not engaged in a formal review of the Greek
system.
And with no noteworthy incidents, Piner can now
breathe a sigh of relief.
“I’m so pleased,” he said. “We really don’t know
the unknowns — what could have happened.”
Piner decided that, in order to begin to repair
the system’s problems, changes had to be made to
fall recruitment. So the IFC instituted two sharp
changes to rush, moving it to the very beginning of
the year and making it alcohol-free.
It wasn’t met with unanimous approval from fra-
ternity members.
“I feel like a lot of people were questioning why we
had to change our system,” Piner said. “But the lead-
ership really understood we were at a time where we
needed to make some concessions.”
Fall rush passed without any major violations.
Leaders even noticed a drop in the number of paren-
tal complaints.
But an incident-free rush wouldn’t keep the Board
of Trustees from deferring it solely to the spring. As
pledge classes were coming together, the board’s
University affairs committee was investigating that
very possibility.
Roger Perry, a former chairman of the board, had
suggested to fellow members of the committee in
June that they take up the issue of moving recruit-
ment, raising concerns about fall rush’s effects on
incoming freshmen.
“I have a concern that being forced to go
through rush at the beginning of their very first
semester impedes their ability to assimilate into
University life and to understand all the options
that are available to them at the University,” Perry
said in June.
In its research of peer institutions, the committee
noticed one clear theme: Timing doesn’t determine
success.
“There’s no clear consensus that recruitment in
the fall or spring produces different results,” said
Alston Gardner, chairman of the committee, in a
September interview.
At the Nov. 18 meeting of the board, Gardner
introduced a resolution that would institute a
performance-based model of recruitment. It was
approved unanimously. The model continues to
allow fall recruitment but requires a spring rush

Ross to deal with significant budget cuts

by isabella cochrane
staff writer
On Jan. 1, Thomas Ross will take
office as the 17th UNC-system presi-
dent.
Ross, who is the current president
at Davidson College, will be faced with
mounting budget cuts and a state bud-
get shortfall of $3.5 billion, but his
predecessor — UNC-system President
Erskine Bowles — said in August that
it’s nothing Ross can’t handle.
“He enters the job a lot more pre-
pared than I was. I don’t have any con-
cerns or reservations about his selection
at all,” Bowles said.
“I spent about three hours with him
on the phone talking about the job. He’s
the right guy for the job — there’s no
doubt in my mind.”
Ross was unanimously appoint-
ed by the UNC-system Board of
Governors.
As UNC-system president, Ross will
become the chief executive officer of
the 17-campus system and will oversee
policies dealing with inevitable tuition

increases and growing enrollment.
The UNC system is dealing with a
total of $575 million in cuts in the last
three years and has already cut 23 per-
cent in expenses and nearly 900 admin-
istrative positions.
The cuts are expected to become
worse, and the state has already told
administrators to prepare for cuts close
to 10 percent.
But Hannah Gage, chairwoman of
the board and head of the search com-
mittee, said after Ross was selected that
she was confident that Ross will be able
to handle the challenges ahead.
Gage said Ross’s political background
and experience will help him work well
with the legislature — an important

was. I don’t have any concerns.”

component of the often-political job.
But some have raised questions
about Ross’ Democratic leanings.
With Republicans taking over the N.C.
General Assembly this year, lobby-
ing legislators to keep cuts low for the
University system could be difficult.
Former UNC-system President Bill
Friday said Ross would have no prob-
lem getting acquainted with the new
legislators.
“The University doesn’t choose sides
in politics,” he said.
Though Ross comes to the UNC sys-
tem from a small, private institution,
system leaders have stressed his dedi-
cation to higher education and the state
as a whole.
Before he was president of Davidson,
Ross earned his law degree with honors
from UNC in 1975 and was named the
youngest N.C. Superior Court Judge in
1984.
Ross also served as director of the
state’s Administrative Office of the
Courts — a job tied to the legislature —
and executive director of the Z. Smith
Reynolds Foundation, which distributes
funding and grants across the state.
The presidential search committee
that selected Ross to oversee the UNC
system took six months and cost more
than $100,000, but board members
say the time and effort allowed them to
find a qualified individual to follow in
Bowles’ footsteps.

alternative. Meanwhile, the University can with-
hold the privilege of fall recruitment from under-
performing organizations.
Perry said he still didn’t agree with the resolution,
but he was willing to support it.
“I don’t think it addresses the issue of what’s best
for first-semester freshmen,” he said in an interview
after the meeting.
The news was welcome to Greek leaders, who
strongly opposed a mandatory spring rush through-
out the debate.
Brent Macon, president-elect of the IFC, said
after the meeting that he welcomed the perfor-
mance-based system.
“We’d love the chance to prove ourselves,” he said.
Crisp will report to the board on the plan’s prog-
ress in January. The board mandated that the reso-
lution take effect in August 2011.
“I think that we have clarified a lot of questions
for people and I think we have begun to put a frame-
work in place for how we’re going to go about the
work,” he said.
Piner, a junior, said he is pleased to be able to
pass on the leadership of an improving system to
his successor.
But he’s counting the days until Macon relieves
him in January.
“It’s been a long year,” he said. “But I think it’s
been well worth it.”

New plan for a new decade Sit-down policy sparks protest
Second of its kind in school’s history
by Nick Andersen
senior writer
A s t h e Ne w Ye a r d aw n s ,
University officials will be prepar-
ing to present the final version
of their resolutions for the next
decade of UNC’s development.
The product of that vision, the
University’s new academic plan,
has been in development for more
than a year, as administrators, pro-
fessors, staff and students worked
through a collaborative planning
process to draft a roadmap for its
future.
“We’ve come many miles to get
here,” said committee co-chair-
woman Sue Estroff.
“People are definitely ready for
this plan.”
The plan, the second of its kind
in the University’s history, lays out
fundamental thematic areas that
will affect budget decisions for all
areas of campus.
Proposals mentioned in the
document include a new fast track
bachelor’s to master’s degree pro-
gram, guaranteed enrollment in
first-year seminars and improved
faculty benefits, among other
changes.
“It’s an anti-depressant for the
campus,” Estroff said.
The last plan, which was com-
pleted in 2003, laid the ground-
work for a wide range of changes
at the University, including the
construction of the FedEx Global
Education Center, an update of
the undergraduate curriculum
and the implementation of the
Carolina North satellite research
campus.
And though that plan was writ-
ten during a time of budgetary
constraints — much like today —
officials point to the successes of
that plan as they finish the new
one.
“ T he old plan came at a
bad time,” said Executive Vice
Chancellor and Provost Bruce
Carney, whose office is in charge of
developing the plan.
“We want to reiterate things in

Republicans sweep midterm elections
Party takes legislature in historic win
by seth cline
staff writer
This year’s elections belonged
to Republicans — both in North
Carolina and across the nation.
The party made big gains from
the top of the ballot, where incum-
bent Sen. Richard Burr handily
defeated Secretary of State Elaine
Marshall, to the bottom, where
Republicans gained the majority
in both houses of the N.C. General
Assembly for the first time since
1898.
The state’s elections mir-
rored those across the country,
where Republicans took over
the majority in the U.S. House of
Representatives and were only four
seats shy of doing the same in the
U.S. Senate.
North Carolina is historically
a Democratic state with elections
that are typically isolated from
national ones.
But the economy forced voters’
hands this year, said David Young,

chairman of the N.C. Democratic
Party.
“We haven’t seen a recession like
we’re having right now in most of
our lifetimes, people had hope that
Democrats in Washington and in
North Carolina would solve those
economic issues, so the backlash
from that concern really hurt us,”
Young said.
But the state of the economy
was not the only reason for the
Democrats’ downfall, said Leroy
Towns, a political journalism pro-
fessor at UNC-Chapel Hill.
The party was hurt by scandals
that have plagued several state
agencies and surrounded promi-
nent lawmakers, such as former
N.C. House speaker Jim Black
and former Gov. Mike Easley, he
said.
“It’s a combination of the bad
economic situation and the inef-
ficiency and scandals that have
plagued Raleigh over the past few
years,” Towns said.
UNC PADI X
News
“Those things kind of com-
bined in a perfect storm and the
Republicans were able to take
advantage.”
Whatever the reason, the results
paint a clear picture of voters’ direc-
tive to North Carolina lawmakers.
Before the election, Republicans
held only 20 of the 50 N.C. Senate
seats and 52 of the 120 N.C. House
seats.
They now control 31 Senate
seats and 67 House seats, enough
for a veto-proof majority in the
Senate and just four votes shy of it
in the House.
In the state’s U.S. House races,
most incumbents held onto their
seats, including Rep. David Price,
D-Orange, who defeated B.J.
Lawson for the second consecu-
tive election.
Eastern North Carolina was
also the stage for the biggest upset
of the elections, when nurse and
political newcomer Renee Ellmers
narrowly defeated veteran lawmak-
er Bob Etheridge to become the
U.S. House representative for the
2nd district, which curls around

In the end, the state’s huge bud-

Republican Party, in September.
“In troubled times people always

town officials are taking measures
to allay some of their fears.
Construction on the 140 West
Franklin Development, which will
be located in place of the town-
owned Parking Lot 5, will begin in
January.
The lot, located at the intersec-
tion of West Franklin and Church
streets, will partially close Dec. 15
and permanently close Jan 3, said
town engineer Jay Gibson.
Me g Mc G u r k , t h e a s s i s -
tant director of the Chapel Hill
Downtown Partnership, said some
business owners are still worried
the reduced parking will also mean
fewer customers.
“The concern is Lot 5 is very
convenient and visible, especially
for the businesses right around it,”
McGurk said. “The town has been
working on replacement parking
over the last two years to make up
for that loss of parking in Lot 5,
especially right around Lot 5.”

bines public, commercial and living
spaces with the goal of recharging
the downtown atmosphere.
Upon completion, the structure
will stand eight stories tall at its
highest point and contain 140 units
of upscale condominiums, 28,540
square feet of ground-level retail
space and 337 private and public
parking spaces.
Ram Development cleared the
last hurdle standing between it and
the start of construction on Nov. 19
when it received a zoning compli-
ance permit from the town after
weeks of delays.
“It’s obviously a very complicat-
ed process,” Gibson said. “We were
waiting on certain items from the
developer, and until those items
arrived, we were unable to finish
process the permits.”
With the closure of Lot 5 goes

and hourly spots. To mitigate the

uted throughout town.
McGurk said the town, spe-
cifically Economic Development
Officer Dwight Bassett, has been
helpful in the challenge to conve-
niently relocate parking.
“He’s really worked very steadily,”
she said. “He’s responsible for find-
ing all of the replacement parking.”
McGurk also said new blue signs
that show the way to parking lots
and spaces will aid visitors and res-
idents in their search for parking.
“That just went up in the last
two months, maybe less than that,
so people can find their way to the
parking lot,” she said.”
Kendria Sweet, a spokeswoman
for the company, said construction of

completed within two years despite
the delays.

they would be in in two years, and
we’re going to make that happen,”

houses that have been bought by
investors,” he said.
tree Richardson said he was recently
asked to vacate the property he was
renting because his landlord was
looking to sell to investors.
“Greenbridge is part of a
larger system of changes,” said
Richardson, who is involved with
groups opposed to the project.
“Chapel Hill has the pretense
that we are a liberal utopia where
there are not social conflicts, but
that’s just not true.”
Planning for Greenbridge, a 97-
unit environmentally sustainable
living project in Chapel Hill, began
in 2005, and an official ribbon cut-
ting ceremony was held Oct. 1.
Since then, the development
has generated a great deal of con-
troversy.
The historically black neighbor-
hood that hosts it is home to some
who said they saw Greenbridge as
the gentrification of a storied com-
munity.
Some community members said
they are worried that the new devel-
opment will change the character
of the neighborhood by bringing in
businesses that did not market to
its working-class residents.
“The neighborhood is on the
decline because of the develop-
ments and the goals of the town,”
Greenbridge, an environmentally friendly residential community on
Rosemary Street in Chapel Hill, is now completely constructed.
tor of the Chapel Hill Downtown
Partnership, said Greenbridge will
have a positive economic impact on
the downtown area, though it will
take time.
“Over time the residents and
their spending patterns will create
economic opportunities for new
businesses,” Norton said.
Mildred “Mama Dip” Council,
who owns Mama Dip’s southern
food restaurant, said she hasn’t
noticed any effect on her business.
“None at all because those peo-
ples up there cook for themselves,”
Council said.
But Council said she thinks her
property values have gone up since
Greenbridge began construction.
Frank Phoenix, a partner and
resident of Greenbridge, said he
believes that the project is benefi-

houses on the property and if you
wanted to buy crack in Chapel Hill,
this is where you came,” Phoenix
said. “We took a liability and turned
it into an asset.”
To ensure that members of the
community were given a voice
during the development, public
hearings were held throughout the
approval process.
But groups like United with the
Northside Community Now are still
campaigning against Greenbridge
and any similar future develop-
ments.
“Greenbridge tries to excuse
itself by saying it is only a small
part of the problem,” Richardson
said.
“Them playing the ignorant fools

Each
year, a
chance to
reflect
T
he Year in Review issue
is perennially one of our
paper’s most important.
I’m not saying that because I get
paid to work here. I say it because
it’s a chance to actually look at
the big picture of what happened
around us these past 365 days.
It’s easy as students to take a
myopic view. Our lives consist of
discrete benchmarks. First there’s
midterms. Then there’s finals.
Then we do it all over again.
Sprinkle in some holidays for vari-
ety. The year is reduced to a series
of goal posts and our ultimate aim
is to reach the next one so we can
start counting down again.
It happens to us here at the
newspaper as well. It’s easy to get
into the mentality that each day
all you have to do is get a paper
out and you have met your goal —
you’re one step closer to comple-
tion of a year’s worth of work.
So even we sometimes have
to sit back and realize just how
much is going on.
We live in an incredible time
and in an incredible place. Yet it’s
easier here than almost anywhere
else to be oblivious.
This is the part where you
expect a cliché Ferris Bueller
quote.
So here it is: “Life moves pretty
fast. If you don’t stop and look
around once in a while, you could
miss it.”
Some of what’s happened this
past year — especially this semes-
ter, frankly — has been so outra-
geous that it’s been laughable.
Who is going to forget Chancellor
Thorp trying desperately to
dance to “Thriller”?
But a better question might
be, “Who will remember the
Chapel Hill Museum, now that it
is closed?”
Even bigger: This year saw
a new Four-Year Tuition Plan,
Academic Plan and Innovate@
Carolina roadmap — all guiding
documents for an immediate
future impacted by unprecedent-
ed budget cuts.
And don’t think I am sparing
mention of the NCAA investiga-
tion — what may have been the
biggest news of the year for many
of you. A year ago, Marvin Austin
was still a student, minus some
black diamond watches.
In some ways, 2010 was a green
year for UNC. The school com-
mitted to breaking up with coal by
2020 after it looked like it could
hit it off well with wood pellets.
And there have been physical
changes as well. Greenbridge (a
LEED certified building, sticking
with the subject of environmen-
talism) now stands high on the
skyline.
Soon, 140 West will join it. It
will thankfully replace what a
graduate student friend of mine
lovingly refers to as a “panopticon”
of a parking lot on Rosemary and
Church streets — the one where
you never knew if you were going
to get ticketed and always paid in
advance out of fear.
These are all stories you could
easily have missed. And they are
all stories you will find in this
issue.
In many ways, this year is
reminiscent of every other. There’s
always news. Some years, former
politicians get shouted off cam-
pus. Other years, the football team
is revealed to have endemic cheat-
ing. Some years, we inaugurate a
new chancellor. Other years, it’s a
new UNC-system president.
But the blend is always
unique. If I wasn’t allotted one
cliché quote per column, I would
say something about boxes of
chocolate.
But seriously: It’s the unique
annual mix that makes it worth
giving pause, stepping back and
seeing the year in full. And that’s
the important lesson.

Erskine Bowles
I
n 24 days, Erskine Bowles will
be effectively unemployed.
After five years of service
as president of the UNC system,
Bowles will officially step down
and his replacement, Thomas
Ross, will take over the helm. He
has large shoes to fill.
Frankly, no one could have
asked for better leadership. The
system has spent the last several
years weathering budget cuts that
have threatened not only financ-
es, but also the quality of educa-
tion at large. Through all of this,
Bowles’ management has been
tested more than ever. And con-
sistently, he has delivered.
But this year especially was
an outlier. Bowles spent much
of it fulfilling two roles, as head
of the system and as the co-
chairman of President Obama’s
National Commission on Fiscal
Responsibility and Reform.
Given his tireless effort spent
preserving both the quality of
education in North Carolina and
righting the nation’s fiscal woes, the
choice to make Bowles “Tar Heel of
the Year” was abundantly clear. It
might be a fitting farewell to an
impressive tenure, if it wasn’t so
well deserved even outside the con-
text of his other years of service.
Tar Heel born and bred
Bowles is true blue. Hailing
from Greensboro, he made his way
from the Triad to the Triangle for
college here at UNC (class of 1967).
After graduation, he could just as
easily have left North Carolina for
good, especially in light of the suc-
cessful career that followed.
And yet he returned, founding
the successful investment bank-
ing company Bowles Hollowell
Connor & Co, in addition to other
ventures. And while he occasion-
ally found callings outside the
state, he always returned home.
The list of roles that he has
held over the years runs long:
deputy director of the small busi-
ness administration, deputy White

OF THE YEAR
House chief of staff, White House
chief of staff, chairman of the Rural
Property Task Force, trustee of
the Golden Leaf Foundation and,
most recently, co-chairman of the
president’s debt commission.
A challenged tenure
The editorial board has pre-
viously noted that Bowles’ main
weakness in coming to the UNC
system was a lack of experience
in higher education. But you
wouldn’t know it now. As it turns
out, the system didn’t necessarily
need a higher education guru. It
needed a capable manager.
Bowles set to work on a number
of initiatives to channel the dispa-
rate voices of the UNC system into a
unified one. The Four-Year Tuition
Plan was one of two major steps in
this direction. It harmonized the
tuition process for campuses into a
specific set of guiding principles.
The other achievement, and
likely the most impactful and
enduring, is UNC Tomorrow. It
was hardly necessary, but Bowles
spent part of his first year touring
the state, hearing from its citizens
and synthesizing what problems
needed to be addressed.
The UNC Tomorrow initiative
seeks to leverage the resources
of the UNC system in order to
address those problems, in areas
including education, economic
development and health care.
North Carolina is well-known
for its devotion to higher education.
The legislature has consistently
funded it generously, and a com-
mitment to cheap education is liter-
ally enshrined in the Constitution’s
oft-cited Article IX, section nine.
But here was a leader seeking
to show the men and women who
fund the system he presided over
that their dollars are coming back
to them — that the UNC system is
aware of how vital their contribu-
tion is. The initiative will certainly
live on long past Bowles’ tenure.
The recession sharply changed
the focus. Bowles’ business and

administrative background may
have served the system well dur-
ing this new era of thrift, but cuts
were painful nonetheless. Even
more disheartening, crisis man-
agement has meant putting aside
some of the loftier aspirations of
the administration.
Yet Bowles’ job was to be a
leader, and his mandate was to
lead the system regardless of what
it faced. Doing merely that in these
tough times would be admirable.
That Bowles has gone above and
beyond expectations is inspiring.
The capstone year
In February, Bowles took
the helm as the co-chairman of
President Obama’s debt commis-
sion. That post has just recently
concluded. Its final report, “The
Moment of Truth,” serves as a
road map for fiscal reform for the
federal government.
Being president of the UNC
system, especially in 2010, is
hard enough. Performing that
duty admirably while co-chairing
a national commission in another
part of the country is a feat.
And so, while Bowles’ career
alone more than justifies the
honor, his service to his state and
country in 2010 especially stands
out as worthy of proclaiming him
“Tar Heel of the Year.”
At Bowles’ last BOG meeting
in November, he joked — perhaps
too humbly — that with the end
of his tenure he would be “unem-
ployed and unemployable.” Only
one of those is true.
Bowles has said that serving
as system president was the peak
of his public service career. But
depending on how you measure
it, Bowles has had many peaks, be
it in business, higher education or
government.
What can be said for sure is
that the leader who may have
brought the UNC system closer
than any predecessor will leave
behind a legacy that reaches far
and wide.

Memorial Hall showcases a world of talent

CUAB aims big, reaches out in a successful year
O≠ering something for everybody
by Kelly Blessing
staff writer
The Carolina Union Activities
Board loves you.
That slogan — developed by last
year’s board president Amanda Kao
— means exactly what it says.
During the past year, CUAB has
worked to become more available
and visible to the student body,
members said.
Under the leadership of Adele
Ricciardi, CUAB’s current and
departing president, the organi-
zation designed a committee for
external affairs.
Vann Mitchell, chairman of the
group’s external affairs committee,
said tthis post was created in order to
help the organization become more
integrated on campus.
“We’ve always been a large part
of campus,” Mitchell said. “But this
year we are trying to collaborate
with more student organizations
to co-sponsor events.”
Already this year, CUAB has co-
sponsored the Carolina Block Party,
Mr. Attraction, the annual talent
show and a Harry Potter event with
Olde Campus Upper Quad.
“We want people to know that
we are an accessible organization,”
said Courtney Canipe, CUAB film
committee chairwoman. “We are
about bringing as many ideas and
people together as possible.”
To bring the student body
together, this year CUAB worked
hard to increase its visibility on
campus, members said.
Outrageous banana and green-
man characters in the Pit, the
placement of a robot mascot in the
Union and the distribution of free
merchandise with their logo on it
helped spread the word.
And CUAB has seen an increase
of students at events, organizers
said.
“It may seem stupid, but putting
on animal costumes draws atten-
tion,” comedy committee chairman
Vinny Tagliatela said. “We had a
50 percent increase in attendance
when Upright Citizens Brigade
came this year over last year.”
This year also saw CUAB host-
News

ing a variety of off-kilter, popu-
lar events — with speakers like
radio host Ira Glass and blogger
Christian Flanders and music
groups like Old Crow Medicine
Show and Passion Pit.
Ricciardi and music committee
chairwoman Kinsey Sullivan also
hatched the idea of the $1 Concert
Series, bringing names such as Sam
Amidon and the Love Language to
campus for a dollar a ticket.
“It’s been one of our most mem-
orable events,” Sullivan said.
But CUAB’s goal isn’t necessarily
to attract the whole student body to
every event.
“This year we have improved in
gauging what particular groups of
students want,” said CUAB pro-
motions committee charwoman
Roxanne Hernandez. “Though
all events may not cater to a large
audience, we are trying to embrace
everyone at some point.”

Fired town workers struggle Museum’s closing leaves vacancy
by Sarah Glen
Assistant City Editor
Christmas celebrations will have
to be a little smaller this year for
Chapel Hill native Clyde Clark.
Both Clark and his ex-coworker
Kerry Bigelow are scaling back this
holiday season after losing their
jobs with the Chapel Hill solid
waste department Oct. 29.
But while both men, recently
dubbed the “Sanitation 2” by their
supporters, have been battling
to return to their former jobs for
weeks, they are still waiting for a
definitive answer from the town.
“You’re supposed to be innocent
until proven guilty,” Bigelow said.
“But we’re having to prove our
innocence.”
After filing grievances regarding
their terminations Nov. 12, Bigelow
and Clark attended their appeal
hearings Thursday and Friday,
respectively.
D e p u t y To w n M a n a g e r
Florentine Miller presided over the
hearings and said she would have
answers for Bigelow and Clark by
Dec. 14.
In the mean time, Bigelow and

Clark said they just have to wait for
the town’s decision.
“I’m just taking it one day at a
time,” Clark said.
The town’s investigation of the
two employees began Sept. 20
when they were placed on paid
administrative leave.
In the six weeks that followed,
Kevin von der Lippe, an inves-
tigator for Capital Associated
Industries Inc., conducted inter-
views with Bigelow and Clark’s
coworkers and the residents who
filed complaints against them.
During this time, Bigelow and
Clark received salary payments
from the town that collectively
totaled more than $5,900.
Following von der Lippe’s inves-
tigation, Public Works Director
Lance Norris wrote in an Oct. 29
memorandum that Bigelow and
Clark were fired for insubordina-
tion, threatening or intimidating
behavior and unsatisfactory job
performance.

Innovate@Carolina rolls ahead
by Will Doran
Assistant University Editor
In the fall of 2010, Chancellor
Holden Thorp weaved innovation
into the fiber of the University.
A plan called Innovate@
Carolina, launched with a $125
million budget near the beginning
of the semester, urges students and
faculty to pursue innovation and to
look at projects from a more entre-
preneurial point of view.
And that plan is under a lot of
pressure: It’s the brainchild of Thorp,
who has a mission of making innova-
tion his lasting legacy at UNC.
In fact, he even co-authored a
book on the subject, titled “Engines
of Innovation.”
“He’s the chancellor, and this
is his baby,” economics professor
John Akin said in September.
Thorp, a former chemistry
professor and dean of the College
of Arts and Sciences at UNC, co-
founded drug company Viamet
Pharmaceuticals and holds more
than a dozen patents. In 2001, he
was named one of the top innova-
tors by Fortune Small Business
magazine.
In an Oct. 28 speech, Thorp said
a broad, liberal arts education like
the one UNC requires for students
is the basis of an entrepreneurial
spirit — and that students must
strive to innovate and succeed.
To that end, senior Shruti Shah
is leading a student team charged

by Thorp with promoting innova-
tion among its peers, and a minor
in entrepreneurship that began
in 2005 has received increased
visibility since the launch of the
Innovate@Carolina plan.
“My hope is that the roadmap
gets students to think about aca-
demics and extracurricular activi-
ties,” Shah said.
Innovate@Carolina also coin-
cides with the larger-scale revamp
of the University’s academic plan
this year, which will influence the
way UNC administrators and pro-
fessors approach the education of
students for the foreseeable future.
For students, a passion for
entrepreneurship is often begun
while at school, and the University
recognizes that the teachers most
likely to spawn that type of passion
are ones who have it themselves.
Shah said that there will be an
increased focus on social entrepre-
neurship next semester, in addition
to the research side of innovation.
UNC received a record $803
million in research funding for the
2010-11 fiscal year — up 12 percent
despite the poor economy. And
last year, 62 percent of graduating
seniors participated in research,
marking a five-percent increase.
Many of those students got the
opportunity through a trickle-
down of funds from grants faculty
receive, Pat Pukkila, director of the

Lovette, 19, is charged with first-
degree murder, but his trial date
still has not been set.
Carson was found dead in March
2008 with five gunshot wounds and
a wristband that said “Be True.”
Tom Maher, executive director of
the state’s Office of Indigent Defense
Services, said it’s not unusual for a
case like Lovette’s to take so long to
have a court date set.
His case is different from
Atwater’s because Lovette was
charged in Durham with the mur-
der of a Duke student. Because the
two counties will have to coordi-
nate, the court date could be later.
But there’s still a good chance
a plea bargain could be reached
before then, Maher said.
“It’s not atypical for someone
with a non-capital murder charge
to plead to second-degree murder,
for example,” Maher said. “Most
cases don’t go to trial.
“If (Lovette) ended up with a very
lengthy sentence and the people
involved are satisfied with it, the
public might be okay with that.”
Atwater was ordered to pay
more than $212,900 in restitution,
said Lynne Klauer, spokeswoman
for the federal court in the middle
district of North Carolina.
He could be allowed a five-year
supervised release during the life
sentences, but it would be served
after the life sentence concluded,
Klauer said. As of Dec. 2, Atwater
had not filed any appeals, she said.

WakeMed asks for records Courthouse in flames

UNC Hospitals’ finances requested “We don’t know how

by Jen Serdetchnaia
Assistant State & National Editor
After reporting high charity care
losses for the year, UNC Hospitals
has come under fire for the validity
of its reports.
WakeMed Health and Hospitals
submitted a formal request for
financial information and other
public records from UNC Hospitals
on Nov. 29.
They are requesting UNC
Hospitals to stop its “predatory
behavior” in partnering with prof-
itable private physicians’ practices
across the state.
WakeMed is also calling into
question the amount of charity
care UNC reports and the role of
UNC-owned Rex Hospital in Wake
County.
“We don’t know how to talk
about what it is they do without
knowing what it is,” said William
Atkinson, president and CEO for
WakeMed, of Rex. “They operate
outside of daylight with this.”
The request comes on the
profitable,” Atkinson said.
B u t U N C Ho s p i t a l s C E O
and Dean of the UNC School of
Medicine Bill Roper said in a state-
ment that the Wake Heart partner-
ship and others across the state are
just part of a national trend toward
consolidation.
Earlier in the semester UNC
Hospitals reported they expect to
lose about $300 million in charity
care expenses — one fifth of the
hospital’s total operating expenses
— attributing the loss to serving as
the state’s social safety net.
UNC Hospitals spokeswoman
Karen McCall said in September
they were cost-shifting to insured
patients to make up for some of the
losses.
But really we’re just waiting for
health care reform to kick in and
insure more patients, she said.
Atkinson also said WakeMed
does about 80 percent of the char-
ity care in Wake County — where
UNC-owned Rex Hospital is locat-
ed — without the state support

they do without
knowing what it is.”

how to lure medical school students
away from seemingly more lucra-
tive specialist careers to meet the
growing demand.
“We make it easier for them to go
into primary care with family med-
icine residency programs,” said Dr.
Tom Bacon, the executive associate
dean of the medical school and the
director for the program.
UNC’s School of Medicine is
now working to attract students
to pursue careers in primary care
as opposed to more prestigious
careers in specialized care.
Although 64 percent of the UNC
medical school class of 2004 ini-
tially entered primary care, the
number was reduced by more than
half by 2009 to 31 percent. dth file/phong dinh

college cup “Sometimes the solution comes

from page 18
Farfan said. “We’d like to finish in
regulation, so hopefully we can do
a better job of that and not have to
rely on trying to dish it out.”
After one of UNC men’s soccer’s
most successful seasons, the Tar
Heels (16-3-4) clinched a regular
season ACC title with an unde-
feated 7-0-1 conference record. But
an ACC Tournament title slipped
through UNC’s grasp when the Tar
Heels dropped a 1-0 final game to
Maryland, a team UNC had previ-
ously beaten.
The Tar Heels still secured a No.
4 seed in NCAAs to earn a first-
round bye before securing three
ties against Georgetown, Michigan
State and Southern Methodist.
A team that’s been constantly
depleted throughout the season,
UNC has faced a host of injuries
that have kept reliable players like
Cameron Brown and Billy Schuler
permanently on the injured list.
A total of 10 other active North
Carolina players have faced inju-
ries so far, but North Carolina
managed to use the disadvantages
to find depth.
“Adversity is something that
when it strikes, you want to have
competent guys on the field who
can deal with it and who can also
find solutions,” Bolowich said.
Sophomore Kelsey Kolojejchick has played in back-to-back national title
games for North Carolina. She led the Tar Heels this year with 15 goals.
from the bench, sometimes the
solution comes from within. That’s
what strikes me about this team.
They come up with their own solu-
tions.”
Joining Louisville, Michigan
and Akron in the final four, UNC
is finally healthy and has found
multiple strengths in inexperi-
enced players like freshman Robbie
Lovejoy finding time on the field.
Anchored by keeper Scott
Goodwin, who is ranked No. 7 in
the nation in goals against aver-
age, North Carolina’s defense has
secured 11 shutouts and is ranked
16th as a team.
The Tar Heels’ offense can rely
on the game-steadying Farfan,
leading-scorer Enzo Martinez and
junior Kirk Urso for production
moving into the final two matches
of the NCAA season.
North Carolina will face unde-
feated No. 1 Louisville in the
College Cup semifinals Friday at
8:30 p.m. armed with the same
purpose they set out with for the
first game of the season.
“It’s been on our minds from day
one,” junior forward Alex Dixon
said. “We’re back in the final four,
and we don’t want to go home
empty-handed again.”

Senior Michael Farfan, a California native, will return to his home state to play in his second College Cup for
North Carolina. The Tar Heels made the final four for the third year in a row and will face Louisville on Friday.

from page 18
“Some other teams don’t handle
defeat as well, and that doesn’t
mean that we’re losers — you know,
show me a good loser and I’ll show
you a loser — I don’t feel that way,”
Shelton said.
“I feel like our kids were com-
petitors, but they also understand
that when you play, you can win or
you can lose. And as long as you
give it everything you’ve got, you
can step off the field feeling like,
‘OK, well, it was their day.’ There
are no supposed-to’s.”
Last season, North Carolina
upset an undefeated Maryland
team to claim the national title.
This year, the coin was flipped.
But UNC’s season could have
been a different story. The Tar Heels
lost their top two goal-scorers from
last season to graduation, and at
the start of the season, UNC lost
Katelyn Falgowski to a head injury.
Falgowski’s return kept being
pushed back by weeks, then months.
It turned out that she lost some of
her peripheral vision, and UNC lost
anther key part of its team.
“When you lose a player like that,
others have an opportunity to step
forward and I think that’s what hap-
pened,” Shelton said. “(Elizabeth
Drazdowski) stepped forward. She
would have like to have played on
the line. We needed her to play on
the line, but she stepped into Falgo’s
midfield role and did a great job
leading the team.”
There were no 30-goal scorers
on UNC’s team, but the Tar Heels
found ways to get points on the
board. Kolojejchick led the team in
scoring with 15 goals. Caitlin Van
Sickle and Jaclyn Radvany each
chipped in 12.
North Carolina benefitted once
again from the stellar goal play of
Kintzer, who will graduate from
UNC and continue field hockey
with the national team.
“She’s been our anchor in the
back and it’s always comforting to
just know that she’s there, that she’s
going to protect the goal as best
as she can,” junior back Meghan
Dawson said.
And she protected it well. The Tar
Heels’ wall in the net only allowed
0.94 goals per game this season —
the second-lowest in the nation.
The Tar Heels have made two
dth/bj dworak
straight NCAA Championship
games, and North Carolina was
proud of its accomplishment this
year. But the season ended one win
short of its goal.
There are no supposed-to’s.

in the first, 22nd and 23rd rounds
of the 2010 Major League Draft,
respectively.
But the Tar Heels’ lack of experi-
ence in pressure situations plagued
them late in games. UNC blew a
pair of late leads at home against
Florida State and suffered a sweep
against Georgia Tech.
Eventually, members of the bull-
pen got used to their roles and the
rest of the team developed the com-
posure to close out games. UNC won
a series at Clemson by claiming the
rubber game with a go-ahead run
in the ninth and rattled off seven
straight wins afterward.
“We were young and we had a lot
of guys playing that had never been
in those situations before,” starting
pitcher Patrick Johnson said. “It
just took a little while to get com-
fortable and get in their comfort
zone and just really start playing
how they were capable of.”
In the NCAA Tournament, UNC
turned in a solid performance by
beating California and Oral Roberts
in the Oklahoma regional, but a
pair of one-run losses to eventual
CWS participant Oklahoma ended
UNC’s season.
Though UNC didn’t make it
back to the CWS, Fox said the expe-
rience his young team earned last
season will be crucial if they hope
to make it back next season.
“There were some bright spots
throughout the season and some
young guys played for us and they’re
back this year,” Fox said. “So last
year’s over, and we look to 2011.”

Tar Heels moving past NIT year

UNC looks to bigs, Barnes in 2011
by Louie Horvath
senior Writer
The year 2010 was not quite
the worst calendar year in North
Carolina’s storied history on the
hardwood — but it was close.
Dating back to 1954, there has
only been one turn of the calendar
as rough on the men’s basketball
team as 2010, and that was the
year 2002. If the Tar Heels lose
two of their next five games of the
season, they will have the most
losses in a year, including 2002.
If the Tar Heels win out, they
would surpass the years 1962 and
1964, which would make it the
fourth-worst year in the last 57
years of UNC basketball.
Even so, the year had its bright
spots.
The team visibly jelled in the
NIT Tournament, turning around
from winning five of its previous
18 games to make the NIT final.
The failure and disappointments
of last season are being used to
propel the current edition for-
ward.
Even after this season’s big win
against Kentucky, the team is still
talking about what happened to
end last season.
“I think this win is different
because of the season we had last
year,” sophomore guard Dexter
Strickland said. “We always build
from it. We get a sense of how (win-
ning) feels, and we want to have
this feeling after every game.”
The gangly John Henson has
matured into a defensive force,
and his offensive game only figures
to become more polished.
“What I wanted to do with John
was, ‘You don’t have to create
things. You don’t have to manu-
facture things,’” UNC coach Roy
Williams said. “That’s one of the
things with our team. We have
such good kids that when things
don’t go well, they say ‘I’ve got
to do this, I’ve got to do that.’ It
doesn’t have to.”
Henson emerged in the NIT,
averaging nine points and seven
rebounds and displaying a hint of
what a summer of hard work could
dth file photo do for him.
Sophomore John Henson bulked up after a season of disappointment for UNC and has found a place tied as the team’s second-leading scorer with “It’s still my role to play tough D
freshman Harrison Barnes. The big man is averaging 11.4 points and 10.5 rebounds this year and giving Tar Heel fans hope for a stronger season. and grab rebounds, and I just have
“We get a sense of
how (winning)
feels, and we want
to have this feeling
after every game.”
dexter strickland, unc guard
to keep doing it,” Henson said.
It was an eventful offseason for
the Tar Heels, as they watched
three players — David Wear,
Travis Wear and Will Graves —
leave the team before their eligi-
bility was complete, leaving holes
in the roster. They also welcomed
one of the top recruiting classes in
the country, as Kendall Marshall,
Harrison Barnes and Reggie
Bullock joined.
So far this season, the team has
had some growing pains. UNC has
dropped three games, and Barnes,
who was selected as a preseason
first-team All-American as a fresh-
man, has struggled mightily with
consistency. Not uncommon for
any freshman, regardless of how
touted they were coming out of
prep school.
“Three losses is not where we
want to be,” forward Tyler Zeller
said. “I think we’re making good
progress and we’re well on our way
to being a good team, but at the
same time we have a long ways to
go. We’ve got to continue to work
and get better.”
The team seemed to refocus
after calling a players-only team
meeting following its inability to
remain competitive against Illinois
in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge on
Nov. 30. The result was a strong 75-
73 win against Kentucky in which
the team seemed more expressive
than it had looked all season.
So as the Tar Heels wave good-
bye to 2010, they can hope 2011
will not be quite so unkind.
“We are developing,” Williams
said. “I honestly believe, I’m not
giving everybody a line here, that
this team will get better and better
as this season goes along.”

Tar Heels return to

NCAA College Cup
by Megan Walsh
Assistant Sports Editor
The past two years, the
North Carolina men’s soccer
team has made it to the final
four of the College Cup and
left with its goal of bringing
a national title to UNC unful-
filled.
A 1-0 drop to ACC com-
petitor Maryland in 2008’s
title game and a 5-4 PK fall
to Akron in last year’s semifi-
nals sent the Tar Heels back
to Chapel Hill with hopes of
another go-around.
And for the third year in a
row, No. 4 UNC will have a
shot at earning the program’s
second national title by return-
ing to the College Cup, held this
year in Santa Barbara, Calif.
“The expectation has always
been there, I have to say,” UNC
coach Elmar Bolowich said.
“Even when we had some inju-
ries, I felt like we were strong
enough to still pull through.”
After three penalty-kick
advancements, UNC will make
its way to the west coast as the
first team to make it to the final
four without winning a game in
the NCAA Tournament. While
that doesn’t bother Bolowich,
who has had the team decide
practice games on PKs since
September, senior Michael
Farfan is after straight-out
wins in the Tar Heels’ remain-
ing tournament games.
“We’re pretty confident
when we go to penalty kicks,
but obviously it’s not our goal,”

In the summer of 2009, the North Carolina
baseball program bid goodbye to two of its three
weekend starters, the winningest senior class in
UNC history and the program’s greatest hitter.
The exodus of talent was one thing, but it
was the dearth of experience that wound up
snapping UNC’s string of four straight College
World Series appearances in 2010.
Though the 17 newcomers to the team got
better as the season wore on, it wasn’t quite
enough to bring the program to the peaks it had
seen the previous four years. Coach Mike Fox’s
Tar Heels missed the ACC Tournament for the
first time since the conference switched to its
current format in 2006 and fell to Oklahoma in
the NCAA Tournament’s regional finals.
“I think we all knew that talent-wise we obvi-
ously weren’t going to be as stacked as we were
the year before,” UNC catcher and first baseman
Jacob Stallings said. “I think we all knew that
the guys that were coming back were going to
have to step up and expand our roles to fill in
for those guys.”
UNC’s losses were most noticeable at the
plate, where the Tar Heels struggled to create
runs without the bats of All-ACC selections and
current Seattle Mariner farmhands Kyle Seager
and Dustin Ackley.
Paced by sophomore infielder Levi Michael’s
.480 on-base percentage, the Tar Heels didn’t
have too much trouble putting ducks on the
pond. Getting those runners home was the
problem. UNC finished 145th in the nation in
slugging percentage.
The Tar Heels were kept in games by a start-
ing pitching staff that helped UNC finish fourth
in the ACC in earned run average. The rotation
was highlighted by junior right-hander Matt
Harvey, who earned All-ACC honors with a
robust 3.09 ERA. Harvey, reliever Nate Striz
and starter/reliever Colin Bates were selected
