After two years on the varsity
swim team at UNC, junior John
Paul Gaylor retired from swim-
ming to pursue a passion for gene
therapy research inspired in part
by his involvement with Honors
Carolina.
But because of budget cuts, cer-
tain classes in the program might
not be offered in the future.
Gaylor first became interested
in gene therapy during his BIO 101
honors course with biology professor
Jean DeSaix last spring.
She essentially walked us
through the research process,
Gaylor said. She even had us inter-
view people working in the field.
Gaylor now works in a lab
researching gene therapy for eyes.
DeSaix said she loves to teach her
honors course, but due to budget
cuts, the course was not offered this
fall and will most likely not be in the
spring.
Assistant Dean for Honors
Carolina Ritchie Kendall said
departmental and University budget
cuts affect the number of faculty
that can teach honors courses.
The UNC system has seen nearly
half a billion dollars erased from its
state funding since 2011, including
about $65 million in fresh cuts in
the 2013-14 budget.
There is no question that there
is a much greater strain on depart-
mental courses, Kendall said.
Honors (classes) are, with very few
exceptions, always faculty taught
that is a strain.
Despite budget restraints on the
University level, Kendall said in
recent years Honors Carolina has
doubled the number of new students
Serving UNC students and the University community since 1893
Its tangible, its solid, its beautiful. Its artistic and I just love real estate.

In an increasingly technological
world, personal data runs the risk
of being exposed but researchers
are on their way to tightening data
security requirements.
While most of the roughly
30,000 daily hacking attempts that
could happen at a large research
university like UNC bounce off
firewalls, even a small breach can
threaten the entire system.
If one little bit of spyware finds
a crevice and crawls in and sits
there, you have a potential breach,
said Dan Nelson, professor and
director of the Office of Human
Research Ethics at UNC.
As society moves into an entirely
digital environment, Nelson said
researchers have had to change
their methods of securing data.
Data security doesnt mean spread-
sheets locked in a filing cabinet
anymore everything is online.
(Technological advances) increase
the power of the science, but it also
increases our exposure to potential
breaches of confidentiality, either
intentional or accidental, he said.

Its been three months since the
Environmental Protection Agency
launched an investigation into Orange
Countys treatment of residents in
the highly contentious Rogers Road
neighborhood and the county
hasnt heard anything about the prog-
ress of the investigation.
Last week, Orange County
Attorney John Roberts sent a letter
to the EPA asking for information
about its claims of environmental
racism.
The Rogers Road community
hosted the countys landfill for 41
years. The landfill closed in June.
In the decades leading up to its
closure, Rogers Road residents
asked the county to provide public
water and sewer hook ups. These
hook ups were promised to the resi-
dents when the landfill was origi-
nally built.
The EPAs Office of Civil Rights
received a complaint that said the
UNC upgrades its online
protection in light of
potential breaches.
And now, there is a big push for
universities and their respective
Information Technology Services to
work together to help researchers
secure their data especially sensi-
tive personal data, including medical
records, sexual behavior, illegal sub-
stance abuse or immigration status.
Most researchers may be
trained to collect and analyze data
but arent necessarily trained to
know how many bits of encryption
are needed to meet current security
standards, Nelson said.
He said the Office of Human
Research Ethics, which is responsible
for ethical and regulatory oversight
of any research at UNC involving
humans as subjects, receives more
than 4,000 research projects annu-
ally that must go through a review
process before being approved.
The office developed a system
to assess the level of security
that might be needed for a given
research project, Nelson said.
He said the system identifies
sensitive topics in the research, and
Orange County could face
charges of violating the
Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Housing on the upswing
Home sales in Orange County are on the rise
By Jenny Surane
City Editor
When Cathy Lee Mahin takes a walk
around her neighborhood, she sees
new neighbors everyday.
Its growth in sales, Mahin said
standing in a village green near her
Briar Chapel home. You see an avail-
able sign one day and the next day its
sold.
Mahin is the president of the
Garden League in the Briar Chapel
neighborhood, located about 15 min-
utes down U.S. 15-501 South in the
Chatham County part of Chapel Hill.
The Briar Chapel neighborhood
celebrated its fifth anniversary this
month, and invited residents out to
celebrate the subdivisions success.
Weve already surpassed 2012
sales as of Sept. 30, said Shannon
McSwiney, the regional marketing
director for Newland Communities,
the company that developed the Briar
Chapel neighborhood.
About 1,300 homes were sold in the
Chapel Hill-Carrboro area between
January and September a 26.6 per-
cent increase from that same period a
year ago, according to data from the
Triangle Listing Service.
Briar Chapel opened in the middle
of the housing slump, but McSwiney
said its sales remained strong because
the community is selling new homes at
a variety of price points.
Existing home sales
Nationally, existing home sales
reached their highest level in more
than six years in August before falling
1.9 percent in September, according to
data from the National Association of
Realtors.
Cub Berrian, the chief executive
officer of the Greater Chapel Hill
Association of Realtors, said its exist-
ing home sales that are also bolstering
the growth in Chapel Hill.

In his letter to the Environmental
Protection Agency, Orange County
Attorney John Roberts said:
OWASAs governing board is
solely responsible for providing
water and sewer services.
The county did not unilaterally
pursue similar water and sewer
provisions in the Efland and
Buckhorn areas.

...SO BUOYANT AND COMPELLING WERE THE WORKS
LIVELY RHYTHMIC CURRENTS... - THE NEW YORK TIMES
By Michael Lananna
Senior Writer
The myth goes that American
settlers in the late 1800s would
arrange their wagons in a circular
pattern to defend against attacks
although many contend the circles
were formed to contain livestock.
More recently, ESPN announcer
Chris Berman coined the phrase,
No one circles the wagons like the
city of Buffalo in appreciation of
the citys workmanlike, blue-collar
mentality. The Buffalo Bills have
used the phrase as a rallying point.
Then theres North Carolina
football coach Larry Fedora, who on
Monday applied the same wagon-
circling idiom to his own team.
Were at a tough spot right now
in our season with where we are,
Fedora said. So its just us. Thats
it. Its circle the wagons, and its
play hard, its practice hard, its
prepare hard.
After a 27-23 loss to No. 10
Miami Thursday, UNC has fallen
to 1-5, 0-3 ACC. Theres the press-
ing element of time, the dwindling
chances of bowl eligibility, the
growing discontent from fans
negativity rushing in from all sides
and Fedora is trying to shield his
players from it, to keep them inter-
nally focused and positive.
That is one of probably a million
things that I worry about, Fedora
said. Thats why I cant sleep at
night because I think about every-
thing and what we can do and try-
ing to turn over every stone to make
sure we can get this thing turned
But what do you do?
You circle the wagons, Fedora
said you focus on the fact that
you nearly beat what is now the
No. 7 team in the country.
There were positives from the
loss: the much-maligned UNC
secondary picked up four intercep-
tions; Eric Ebron set a single-game
record for a tight end with 199
receiving yards; and tailback T.J.
Logan joined backup quarterback
Marquise Williams in adding
offensive versatility.
And there were, of course, the
negatives: allowing 234 rushing
yards, innopportune penalties and
the greatest sin, according to
players a lack of execution in the
red zone, scoring just one touch-
down in five red-zone chances.
"(Kicker) Thomas Moore does
a great job Im not mad at him,
Ebron said. But we have to get six
points instead of three.
Its another season of adversity
for redshirt senior quarterback
Bryn Renner, whos been through
two coaching changes and who led
his team to what wouldve been a
Coastal Division berth last season
if not for a postseason ban.
It seems like every year we have
something to deal with, he said,
and right now were 1-5.
Renners eyes were red as he
spoke to reporters after Thursdays
game, calling it a deflating loss.
Fedora said multiple times that
his locker room was hurting.
Thats a good thing, he said. It
should hurt you. It should rip your
guts out when something like that
happens. So what does that mean?
Wagons. Circle them.
The UNC football team
looks to stay focused
despite 1-5 record.
The reTurn of cambanis
dth/katie sweeney
AP foreign correspondent and former editor-in-chief of The Daily Tar Heel Thanassis Cambanis spoke at UNCs School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
By Breanna Kerr
Staff Writer
From editor-in-chief of The Daily Tar Heel to
foreign correspondent living in Beirut, Thanassis
Cambanis returned to his roots Monday.
Cambanis, who graduated in 1996, is a dis-
tinguished journalist with expertise in Middle
Eastern and U.S. foreign policy.
Cambanis now writes the Internationalist
Column for The Boston Globe, is a contribu-
tor to The New York Times and an adjunct pro-
fessor at Columbia University.
He also wrote A Privilege to Die: Inside
Hezbollahs Legions and Their Endless War
Against Israel, and is working on another book.
Cambanis accepted the General Alumni
Associations Distinguished Young Alumni
Award Friday for his accomplishments.
During his visit, Cambanis, a Chapel Hill
native, took a trip back to what he called the
test tube The Daily Tar Heel, what he said
was the only local paper that mattered.
My first through 20th journalism jobs were
at the DTH, Cambanis said.
Its great to come back home and in context
think about the work Ive done as a foreign
correspondent, he said.
Cambanis said he is only able to come back
every two or three years, and he thinks its
striking how deeply people in Chapel Hill care
about events in the Middle East.
In light of those events, particularly the upris-
ings since 2010, he presented a lecture called
Arab Uprisings Arent Over, hosted by the
Curriculum in Global Studies, on Monday night.
Cambanis said his passion for the Middle
East and foreign affairs began with his interest
in the Balkan Islands, which he studied in col-
lege because of his Greek roots.
After the 9/11 attacks, the Middle East
became the go-to place for budding war cor-
respondents, Cambanis said.
Ive been pressed up close to the glass
of the revolt in Egypt, so its great to have a
chance to step back three years after Arab
uprisings, he said.
Cambanis began his lecture saying that it
looks like a dark time in the Middle East.
Egypt is dearest to my heart and it doesnt
look good after three authoritarian regimes
having been unseated in three years we have
a retooled, sexy young dictator in the making
killing more people than Mubarak ever did.
My air here tonight is not to depress you,
which is why Im beginning with the worst
news, Cambanis said.
He questioned what was left with the revolts
that began in 2010 and asked the audience why
some regimes still havent been overthrown.
It is too soon to write the epitaph on the Arab
revolts and too soon to judge them a failure or
deem them an irrevocable success, he said.
Daphne Athas, a retired creative writing pro-
fessor, said she attended the lecture because she
has known Cambanis since he was a baby.
I have known Thanassis since the begin-
ning and I just got back from Greece I
havent seen him since he was here at Flyleaf
Books (in 2010), Athas said.
Creative writing professor Marianne Gingher
taught Cambanis in his undergraduate career.
He was just sweet as pie, Gingher said.
Freshman Mariana Abourizk attended the
talk for her cultural portfolio for her Arabic class.
Abourizk said she thought that in light of
recent revolts, the Arab uprisings arent over,
and establishing a government the majority of
Egypt can agree on would be difficult.
I learned more about Middle Eastern poli-
tics in this talk than I have by following the
media in the past, she said.
ITS flexes
muscles
with site
blockages
By Mia Madduri
Staff Writer
Information Technology Services has
blocked three student-created websites
from the UNC network this year a
potential cause of concern for free
speech advocates.
As of Oct. 15, ITS officials have pre-
vented access to alertcarolina.com, bevii.
com and ConnectCarolina 2.0 from
UNCs network to protect its computing
systems from future security threats.
Robert Shibley, senior vice president
of the Foundation for Individual Rights
in Education, said this is worrisome.
Generally speaking, in a free society
shutting access in a free domain is a bad
idea, he said. Particularly, when youre a
university, it sets a dangerous precedent.
Shibley thinks that a universitys
first priority is to educate students, and
that blocking websites should be a last
resort. He said Americans should not
forget that in these instances, a govern-
ment agency is shutting down a website
on a free domain.
My main concern when it comes to
these situations is that universities in
the name of promoting security or ITS,
should be careful not to get in the way
of student innovation, said Shibley.
In August, UNC junior Winston
Howes launched ConnectCarolina 2.0 as
a modified version of ConnectCarolina.
Six hundred students provided the site
with their Onyens and passwords.
ITS officials said they blocked the
website because students gave their
personal information to a site that
wasnt under the UNC network and
potentially not secure.
A part of what was happening with
ConnectCarolina 2.0 was some work
to try to build a site that performs
additional functions, said ITS special-
ist Kevin Lanning. ITS has since been
working to assess feasible improve-
ments for the official ConnectCarolina
in response.
Howes said he now understands why
his site was shut down and is glad he
can work with ITS.
When the site was first shut down,
I would have said that the incident dis-
courages student innovation, he said.
However, I think that the situation can
actually be flipped in such a way that
encourages more student innovation.
Another incident occurred last week
with student-created Bevii a mobile,
location-based social network.
To promote the new app, Bevii
co-founder and sophomore Taylor
Robinette emailed 17,000 students
mimicking an Alert Carolina message.
We were brainstorming ideas, look-
ing for slightly humorous ways to engage
UNC students and get their attention
about Bevii while poking fun at another
social media site that college students
dont use much anymore, said Robinette.
Lanning said ITS a its facility at the
edge of campus with networking capa-
bilities to block dangerous sites. While
this strategy works to stop people from
accessing such sites on the UNC network,
off-campus students remain unaffected.
We all take it very seriously. The
idea that Alert Carolina could be used
for sending commercial spam really
concerns people, said Lanning. When
it comes to the safety of people, thats
the most important priority of all.
Access to three student-
created sites has been
halted on the UNC network.

After spending a year in the Big
Apple, North Carolinian Beverly
McIver is bringing a New York state
of mind to her latest collection of
paintings, now on display at the
Craven Allen Gallery in Durham.
The paintings are inspired by the
diverse people McIver saw while liv-
ing in New York after a foundation
gave her free studio space for one
year. She just moved back to North
Carolina three weeks ago, and she
brought her newest pieces of art,
which are all less than a year old,
with her.
McIver said she was inspired most-
ly by the people she would see while
riding the subway and the musicians
performing in the subway tunnels.
She said she was especially struck
by a group of subway musicians who
were around 50 years old that she
passed almost every day.
She said they played like they
were in Carnegie Hall.
These guys will never be at
Carnegie Hall, but thats not stop-
ping them from singing and doing
what they love, she said. It was
obvious that they absolutely loved
what they did, and they were willing
to do what they loved even if their
platform was that of the subway.
But it wasnt only the people she
saw that became subjects for her
art, she said. Most of her pieces are
self-portraits. And they reflect the
delights and the difficulties she faced
while transitioning from a life in
North Carolina to a life in the big city.
John Bloedorn, co-owner of
the Craven Allen Gallery, said
McIvers point of view as an African-
American woman is one of the most
powerful aspects of her work.
He said shes not afraid to show
herself in any situation.
Shes just a wonderful human
being who cuts to the bone with her
incredibly revealing portraits, he said.
Kathryn DeMarco, the gallery
director at Craven Allen Gallery, said
McIvers paintings have created a lot
of conversation in the gallery because
they are so thought-provoking.
Its the way that she doesnt hide
anything, she said. Thats whats
really great about this particular
show youre seeing Beverly.
McIver said her self-portraits give
her a platform from which she can
explore her emotions and then help
other people deal with their emo-
tions. Her paintings show her in
many different emotional states
from contentment to depression.
However Im feeling, even if Im
not aware Im feeling that way con-
sciously, it just comes out in the stu-
dio, she said. I want to give other
people permission to feel human
emotions and not to feel judged by it
so much.
One of McIvers most poignant
paintings depicts her wearing a
dress for the first time after hav-
ing a breast reduction that took six
pounds off of her chest.
I love being able to use painting
as my voice to talk about things that
are important to me, she said. I love

painting about my experiences
through it, I can bring an awareness
of people who are in the margin.
McIver was a psychology major
when she began her undergraduate
career and only switched to art after
finding she enjoyed a drawing class
she took as an elective.
I used to do drawing in high
school but didnt want to major in
art because I thought all artists were
poor, and I didnt want to be poor,
she said.
But when it came time for her to
leave New York City after devoting a
year to painting, she didnt want to go.
The experience of living in a
place thats very different from what
Im used to was really fantastic, and
it was a leap of faith, she said. But
it was just a fabulous investment in
myself.

Town Council tables Rogers Road discussion
By Marissa Bane
Staff Writer
The Chapel Hill Town
Council tabled a public hear-
ing that would have examined
funding options for providing
water and sewer hook ups
to the Rogers Road neigh-
borhood during its meeting
Monday night.
The council has been look-
ing at ways to raise money for
the extension of water and
sewer services to the histori-
cally black and low-income
community that housed the
county landfill for 41 years.
The council was schedule to
discuss a proposed extraterrito-
rial jurisdiction, which would
annex more land and allow the
town to legally contribute more
money to the community.
Council member Matt
Czajkowski said talking about
the issue is no longer enough.
There is no doubt that after
(41 years) we owe it to Rogers
Road to finally do something
now, Czajkowski said. So
what is keeping us from doing
something now? Money.
Czajkowski said there is a
piece of land located next to a
local cemetery, estimated to be
worth about $4 million dollars.
Czajkowski said one idea
the town could pursue is sell-
ing this land and using the
money to fund the community.
If we arent talking about
how we are going to fund
this, what are we going to talk
about? Czajkowski said. We
need to find tangible ways to
finance this and not just say,
In three years we might be
able to borrow some money.
Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt
said the town cannot ran-
domly pick a program and
compare it to something else
that needs funding.
For example, we cannot
debate if funding for public
housing is more important
than funding for the sewer
project, Kleinschmidt said.
That would be a misstate-
ment of priority budgeting,
which is dangerous, and its not
how the government works.
Council member Donna
Bell, who served on the
Historic Rogers Road
Neighborhood Task Force,
said the group spent nine
months discussing the costs
of the project.
We are now looking at
options for how to actually pay
for this, Bell said.
Council member Laurin
Easthom said the next step
is to make a list of options
for how they can pay for the
project and they can then best
determine what to do.
Council member Lee
Storrow said the individual
municipalities will look at
the next two budget cycles to
determine how to pay for the
hook ups.
Town Manager Roger
Stancil said they have already
done a lot of work for provid-
ing options for the town.
He said he will be able to
determine the best options
for how to fund the water and
sewer hook ups by the coun-
cils next meeting.

Syrian refugees are living in concrete homes built adjacent to
a mosque in the border town of Aarsal, Lebanon. Tens of thou-
sands anticipate the Syrian governments next move.
On the wire: national and world news
Syrian rebels in
Lebanon brace for strike
ARSAL, Lebanon (MCT)
Syrian rebels and their
Lebanese allies currently in
command of a crucial corri-
dor that links rebel havens in
Lebanon with the embattled
Syrian capital of Damascus
are preparing for a massive
government offensive aimed at
bringing the strategic area back
under government control.
Rebels and activists in
the Lebanese border town
of Arsal say they expect the
offensive to attempt to cut
off sympathetic areas in
Lebanons Bekaa Valley from
rebel-controlled villages just
across the border in Syria.
The enclave that has
sprung up on both sides of
the border near the Jebel
Qalamoun mountain peak
represents the largest rebel
haven near Damascus, the
ultimate goal of the insur-
gents. Its population is swol-
len by Syrian refugees and
fighters who fled the govern-
ment offensive earlier this
year that retook the cities of
Qusayr and Homs. Now tens
of thousands of rebel fight-
ers are preparing to make a
final stand to keep Arsal from
being cut off from the Syrian
battlefield.
We will fight to the last
man, said Abu Omar Hujieri,
a Lebanese activist and fighter
who has ties to most of the
rebel factions in the area.
With Qusayr and Homs essen-
tially back under the control of
the government of President
Bashar Assad, a government
success in seizing the Jebel
Qalamoun region would finish
the rebel presence here.
Almost from the beginning
of the anti-Assad uprising
30 months ago, Arsal has
been a crucial logistics hub
and haven for Syrian rebels,
who found the mostly Sunni
Muslim population, with its
strong family and political
ties to Syrian Muslims, ready
to openly assist.
This is our war just like
theirs, Abu Omar explained
of the Lebanese involvement.
They are our family, our
neighbors and our friends. All
the people of Arsal are with
the rebellion.
Obama: No excuse for
website foul-ups
WASHINGTON, D.C.
(MCT)President Barack
Obama said Monday that
he was angry and frustrated
with the failures of the federal
governments new health care
website and he vowed to solve
them as soon as possible.
Obama said a team of
Americas top private-sector
tech experts was work-
ing around the clock to fix
Healthcare.gov, though he and
his staff declined to name the
companies that are involved or
to provide a deadline.
Theres no sugarcoating it,
the president said at a Rose
Garden event with supporters
of the health care overhaul.
Its fair to say that nobody is
more frustrated by that than I
am ... Theres no excuse for the
problems, and these problems
are getting fixed.
Obama, in his first exten-
sive remarks since the
botched Oct. 1 rollout of the
insurance marketplace, said
the law that aims to pro-
vide more comprehensive,
affordable health coverage
remained a success and
that any problems stemmed
from interest that exceeded
expectations. Nearly 20 mil-
lion people have visited the
website, and more than half a
million have successfully sub-
mitted applications.
The product is good, the
president said. The health
insurance thats being pro-
vided is good. Its high quality
and its affordable.
The federal marketplace
was supposed to provide a
one-stop site for users in 36
states to browse, compare
and enroll in qualified health
plans. But numerous software
problems overwhelmed the
site shortly after the enroll-
ment period for 2014 coverage
began. Some improvements
have been made, but delays
and malfunctions continue.
A new Washington Post-
ABC poll released Monday
found that 56 percent of
Americans say the web-
site problems are part of a
broader problem with the
laws implementation, while
just 40 percent see them as
an isolated incident. Recent
polls generally find that more
people oppose the law than
support it.

Charlene Hayes was devas-
tated when Worthy, a service
dog in training shed worked
with, died after being left in
a car by a trainer but she
hopes the tragedy will bring
greater public awareness for
animal rights.
Worthy was owned by
Eyes Ears Nose and Paws, a
Carrboro nonprofit that trains
and places service dogs.
As a puppy parent for
Eyes Ears Nose and Paws,
Hayes received Worthy when
he was five months old in Nov.
2011 and helped train him.
On June 10, Eyes Ears
Nose and Paws training
program director Debra
Cunningham left Worthy in
a car outside the agency. The
temperature outside was 77
degrees when Worthy was
found overheated and in dis-
tress more than an hour later.
Hayes said Worthys body
temperature was 109 degrees
when he was admitted to The
Animal Hospital in Carrboro.
According to medical
records, he died of heatstroke
the next day.
Cunningham, who is still
employed at Eyes Ears Nose
and Paws, was charged with a
Class 1 misdemeanor of cru-
elty to animals.
Cunninghams trial, which
has already been delayed
twice, is now scheduled for
Nov. 19 at the Orange County
Courthouse in Hillsborough.
Capt. Chris Atack, spokes-
man for the Carrboro
Police Department, said the
departments investigation
found probable cause that
Cunninghams action led
directly to Worthys death.
Jason Murphy, assistant
district attorney for Orange
County, said the maximum
possible punishment for
Cunningham is 120 days in jail.
Carrboros animal ordi-
nance makes it unlawful to
keep an animal in a vehicle
without ventilation or air
conditioning when the tem-
perature outside is more than
70 degrees, said Bob Marotto,
the director of Orange County
Animal Services.
Marotto said his depart-
ment receives as many as 15
calls a week during the sum-
mer with cases of animals
left in cars, adding that the
temperature inside a car can
be 20 or 30 degrees warmer
than outside.
After Worthys death,
Hayes said she encour-
aged others to let the North
Carolina General Assembly
know how strongly they felt
about the issue.
In July, the N.C. General
Assembly approved House Bill
612, which makes it unlaw-
ful to confine animals in cars
under circumstances that
threaten the animals health.
It also gives certain personnel
authority to enter a car if a
distressed animal is inside.
I do know that Worthys
name was mentioned when
they proposed the bill, so that
really made me feel good,
said Hayes, who helped train
five dogs for Eyes Ears Nose
and Paws before Worthy.
Hayes continues to make
an effort to bring awareness
to the community about
animal cruelty and asks that
people contact the prosecutor
about the case.
In a sense, Im asking for
anybody that has ever loved
a dog or cared about a dog to
please, please come forward
and let them know that this is
not acceptable.
Woman faces charges
for service dog death
because of fundraising gifts to
the program.
Senior and co-president of
the Honors Student Executive
Board Sam Jones said these
gifts are used in part for
endowed professorships.
It helps the University
out a whole lot, Jones said.
Even when departments
have to cut budgets, they can
keep on endowed profes-
sors.
He said departments with
endowed professorships are
required to offer a certain
amount of honors courses
each semester.
Kendall said the courses
are the heart of Honors
Carolina.
DeSaix said she was able
to develop a close relation-
ship to the students in her
honors classes, which is
capped at 20 students, and
even invites them to her
house for dinner. She said
the class size also allows
for more discussion and
exchanges of ideas.
Gaylor said he also enjoys
the interaction between peers
and faculty in honors courses.
These professors have
become great friends of
mine, and I know those rela-
tionships will be important
to me throughout my life,
he said.
Jones said in addition
to offering special honors
courses, Honors Carolina
uses its independent funding
to bring back alumni, hold
discussions with speakers and
offer unique study abroad
experiences.
While honors students
are given first priority, other
students at UNC have the
opportunity to sign up for
honors courses and to par-
ticipate in Honors Carolina
study abroad if space is avail-
able.
We are using Honors
Carolina to attract students to
the University and to create
an environment to stimu-
late intellectual curiosity,
Kendall said. We have never
wanted to create an exclusive
domain.
Honors cuts

discrimination in programs
and activities receiving fed-
eral financial assistance.
Roberts said the county
has no influence in OWASA
operations.
OWASAs governing board
is comprised of two appointees
from Orange County, but that
does not mean the county has
authority over the indepen-
dent agency, Roberts said.
In his letter, Roberts
highlighted the work of
the Historic Rogers Road
Neighborhood Task Force, a
group that has been working
to find a way to extend sewer
lines to the area.
Roberts said he advised
county commissioners to halt
all considerations of the task
forces work until the investi-
gation is closed.
Despite his recommen-
dation, the task force has
continued to work and will
present its recommendations
to the county Nov. 21.
Although not all of the
promised services have
been provided, a budget of
$700,000 has been approved
for the neighborhoods com-
munity center.
We will continue to oper-
ate in the Rogers Road com-
munity, said Craig Benedict,
director of the Orange County
Planning and Inspections
Department. Chapel Hill is
proceeding with an expansion
that will include that area.
The original complaint
made to the EPA said the coun-
ty failed to apply for grants
from the agency after apply-
ing for similar grants for the
Efland and Buckhorn areas.
Roberts said the county
was not solely responsible for
applying for the grants pro-
vided for the Buckhorn and
Efland area.
If the planning department
is found to be discriminatory,
the EPA would either termi-
nate grants to the department
or refer the situation to the
Department of Justice.
Roberts said he is confident
the complaint is unfounded.
Ultimately, I think the
investigation of the complaint
will be dismissed. I dont
think it will have an effect.

the more sensitive the system
ranks a project, the more pro-
tection it ll need.
Among those highly sensi-
tive projects at UNC is the
National Longitudinal Study
of Adolescent Health, known
as the Add Health project
a social science and health
study of adolescents that
started in 1995 through the
Carolina Population Center.
Kathleen Mullan Harris,
project director, said theyve
been ahead of the curve on
confidentiality issues.
The project created a high-
ly secure system in the early
1990s that researchers still
use today, though with some
upgrades, she said.
The plan that we have
it allows us to sleep at night,
Mullan Harris said.
Researchers spoke with
adolescents and their families
in 1995 to study how social
environments affect behavior.
They continue to follow up
with the 90,000 students
originally interviewed.
The study records highly
sensitive personal data
including participants poten-
tially illegal, violent or sexual
behaviors, Mullan Harris
said. Add Health even col-
lects bio specimens to test for
STDs and DNA strands.
Mullan Harris said they
remove identifying informa-
tion, like names and addresses,
from the records. But in order
to follow up with participants,
the project has scattered the
identifiers in servers outside
the U.S. so that itll be difficult
for hackers to connect the dots.
We as researchers or
directors still have no idea
as to who is involved in our
study, she said. I know an
awful lot about them, but I
have no idea who they are.
The security plan is to pro-
tect the Add Health project
from subpoena by the court
when students were inter-
viewed 18 years ago, there was
no telling who theyd later
become. Add Health didnt
want its data to be used against
its participants in court.
But since research is often
so expensive, institutions want
to be able to give others access
to their findings, said Nancy
Dole, deputy director of the
Carolina Population Center.
There is an inherent ten-
sion between making data
available and protecting it,
she said.
Dramatic changes in tech-
nology have also led to strict-
er federal regulations to pro-
tect research data, said Cathy
Bates, chief information
officer at Appalachian State
University and member of
Educauses Higher Education
Information Security Council
Leadership Team.
Educause is a nonprofit
organization that works to
advance higher education
through information technol-
ogy and helps improve data
protection in universities.
Bates said its difficult for
researchers to stay abreast
of changing regulations and
know what their responsibili-
ties are in protecting data.
She said campus ITS teams
should work more with the
Institutional Research Board to
provide support for research-
ers. Without their help, Bates
said research projects run
the risk of creating disjointed
security efforts that allow for
easier breaches.
On a minute-by-minute
basis, networks, especially
open access networks, are just
consistently being crawled
over to see what kind of data
someone can access.

thinking theyre going to
find a new home, Berrian
said. On the fringe is where
theyre doing the develop-
ment.
For Dwight Bassett, the
economic development direc-
tor for Chapel Hill, the suc-
cess of his department par-
tially depends on increasing
home sales.
Bassett said his department
focuses on commercial devel-
opment and attracting poten-
tial employers to the area.
We have a pragmatic view
that in order to see success we
need success in all categories,
he said.
Its kind of hard to think
about creating jobs if were
not creating places for those
people to also live.
A turning point
For the Briar Chapel sub-
division, 2013 was a turning
point. She said the neighbor-
hood, which has 410 homes
sold in its first five years, will
reach 600 homes sold next
year.
This is fairly on track with
other Newland Communities,
were seeing similar growth
all over, McSwiney said.
Chapel Hill realtors are also
feeling the boost in home sales.
Berrian said while home
sales havent returned to
pre-recession levels for some
of his members, the realtors
were still excited about the
success theyve had this year.
From my interactions with
my members theyre definitely
busier, Berrian said.
Berrian said his members
are concentrated in Orange
County, which saw a 10.3
percent increase in home
sales between 2009 and 2012,
reaching 1,257 homes in 2012.
I think (home sales) are
healthy, Berrian said. I
think were encouraged by
what were seeing and I know
our members are pleased. I
think were seeing a healthy
rebound.
Jeff and Avril Kelchner
attended the event celebrat-
ing Briar Chapels fifth anni-
versary earlier this month.

They spent the morning

The Kelchners have
enjoyed making friends with
their new neighbors, and
loved the neighborhood from
their first drive in.

Jeff Kelchner said. But we

For Chapel Hill Town
Council candidate Maria
Palmer, students who gradu-
ate from UNC without vot-
ing havent learned how to
be responsible citizens
and Palmer hopes to combat
that.
Palmer joined other coun-
cil candidates in the Pit on
Monday afternoon to educate
students about the issues in
the upcoming municipal elec-
tions.
Two other candidates,
George Cianciolo and Loren
Hintz, joined Palmer in the
Pit.
The Young Democrats
hosted Mondays event to
allow students and candi-
dates to converse about town
issues affecting students, said
Lindsey Rietkerk, the vice
president for the group.
It is very important for
us to listen and let students
know that Town Council
members listen, Cianciolo
said.
Students are half of
Chapel Hill, basically. We
need the University, and the
University needs us.
Hintz said he enjoyed
talking to the students in the
Pit and exploring the other
booths and he took the
time to purchase apple cider
from students.
In order to protect the
services it provides, the Town
Council will have to closely
examine where it gets its rev-
enue, the candidates said.
All three candidates said
one of the most pressing
issues in the upcoming elec-
tion is to find creative ways
to enhance town revenue
streams.
We need to balance our
needs and increase our com-
mercial base, said Palmer.
Chapel Hill is quickly
becoming unaffordable, and I
dont want it to become a bed
for the wealthy.
Cianciolo said the reces-
sion of the last five years has
forced the town to dip into
reserves for things residents
enjoy and expect from their
local government an issue
impacting everyone, even
students.
The candidates urged
students to get involved
with local government by
serving on advisory com-
mittees, attending Town
Council meetings and staying
informed about local issues.
Local politics are very
important, maybe even the
most important, said Hintz.
Thats what controls our
everyday lives, so people
should learn about the issues
and vote.
Palmer spent most of her
time in the Pit approaching
students and passing out
campaign pamphlets.
Voters between the ages
of 18 and 25 made up about
3 percent of total voters in
the last municipal election in
2011.
By attending events like
the one on Monday, Palmer
said she hopes more students
will be encouraged to vote.
Students are the life of the
town, Palmer said.
I want students to know
who I am. I want to know
what they are thinking, what
their concerns are and why
they arent voting.

Campaign finance reports
for the candidates vying for
four seats on the Chapel Hill
Town Council reveal a large
disparity in the candidates
fundraising efforts.
Town Council and mayoral
candidates had to file the
reports on Oct.1.
Of the nine candidates run-
ning for council, Ed Harrison
was the only candidate not to
file a report. Candidates do
not have to file if they dont
raise more than $1,000.
With 35 days until election
day, the total raised by the
town council candidates who
filed reports was $23,735.73.
Years past
That amount is roughly
the same as the last Town
Council election in 2011
when the 12 candidates
raised $23,000.
Incumbent Mayor Mark
Kleinschmidt said he stopped
fundraising once he discovered
he was running unopposed this
year after raising $975.
Total election fundraising
is still nearly 36 percent less
than the 2009 municipal
election, when much of the
donation was driven by a
competitive mayoral race
between Kleinschmidt and
Matt Czajkowski.
The most prolific fundraiser
among the council candidates
this year is George Cianciolo.
At the 35-day mark
Cianciolos campaign had
raised $8,903 38 percent
of the amount raised by all the
candidates who filed reports.
Cianciolo didnt think his
campaign was aggressively
fundraising he said its his
first time running for office
and he wasnt sure what to
expect in terms of fundraising.
This is not a terribly excit-
ing campaign for a lot of
people, he said.
Cianciolo has spent about
$3,300 on website design and
yard signs.
A different style
Candidates Amy Ryan,
Loren Hintz, Sally Greene
and Maria Palmer have all
raised between about $3,000
and $4,000.
Candidate Paul Neebe
raised about $1,000.
The remaining candidates
have raised markedly less.
This year we have several
candidates who are not run-
ning campaigns in the style
we have seen in the past,
Kleinschmidt said.
Gary Kahn has not raised
or spent any money so far in
the election and said he does
not intend to start fundrais-
ing.
He said he wanted to avoid
asking people for money
because some people cannot
afford to give.
If somebody offered me
money I would probably take
it, he said.
D.C. Swinton has raised
$20 for his campaign.
Palmer said the inexpen-
sive campaigns this year are a
good thing for the town, but
she thinks political fundrais-
ing can be beneficial.
I think it is very justified
a reasonable amount to
make people know that this
democratic process is taking
place.
Candidates raise little money for campaign

to the table where the candi-
dates were stationed because
he saw his friend there but
he stayed to talk to a candi-
date.
I think its important that
candidates address university-
town relations, Hoover said.
Wilson Parker, co-chair-
man of the Political Action
committee for the Young
Democrats, convinced Hoover
to come to the table and talk
to the candidate.
Its an important forum for
students to meet town council
candidates, Parker said.
Many students dont know
much about the local govern-
ment, and they should.

Three candidates
discussed town issues
with UNC students.
Flipped classrooms make
students teach themselves
By Ashley Cocciadiferro
Staff Writer
More UNC students could
be doing homework in class,
but theres a catch: they would
have to teach themselves
course materials beforehand.
The concept, called flipped
classrooms, is becoming more
popular in higher education as
an alternative teaching meth-
od to give students a deeper
understanding of the material.
Bobbi Owen, senior associate
dean for undergraduate edu-
cation, said some professors
at UNC have already adopted
this teaching style.
But flipped classrooms
require more outside effort
from students and profes-
sors because lecturers must
produce videos that students
use to learn the curriculum at
home, said Mohamed Noor,
professor of biology at Duke
University.
Noor implemented this
style of teaching in his classes
at Duke after creating lec-
ture videos for his Massive
Open Online Courses with
Coursera. Noor said he start-
ed using his MOOC videos to
teach his flipped classroom
this past spring.
Noor said in 2010, Dukes
biology department discussed
modern teaching styles, com-
pared to the traditional lecture.
It was in those discussions,
that both the flipped classroom
in particular and also various
elements from it and related
models to it came up, he said.
Noor also said that he
noticed improvements in his
students test scores. But he
said that his students frequent-
ly skip class because with this
style, they are able to learn the
material on their own.
Owen said at UNC, the
physics department has used
flipped classrooms most
often. It appears more fre-
quently in science, technol-
ogy, engineering and math-
ematics, or STEM, courses.
Most humanities classes
are smaller, and that might
lend itself to active learning
methodologies, she said in
an email. The vast amount
(of ) information that forms
the basis of the sciences
clearly needs to be shared and
learned, which is different
than the deep reading or criti-
cal thinking and/or creating
and writing that is needed in
the humanities.
UNC freshman Nicole
Emerson said the teaching
style has been used in her
Spanish 203 class.
I like it because the short
little assignments familiarize
(students) with the concepts
so when we go to class, it
is easier for us to grasp the
material, she said.
The model was discussed
by the UNC-system Board
of Governors University
Governance committee earli-
er this month. David Powers,
committee chairman, said he
supports flipped classrooms.
While it will require more
of a time commitment before-
hand, I think the deeper
understanding possible from
a more robust discussion will
lead to less time for exam
prep, he said in an email.
While flipped classrooms
are becoming increasingly
popular, lecture classes will
remain prominent in higher
education, Powers said.
There will always be a
place for the lecture classroom
I just think that new meth-
ods that facilitate true discus-
sions and a deeper under-
standing of subject matter
should never be discounted.

Clark falls short after
6 wins at regional
UNC freshmen tandem
take title in doubles final
Mens Tennis: BreTT Clark loses in singles Draw Final woMens Tennis: Hayley CarTer anD JaMie loeB win DouBles Draw
By Ben Coley
Staff Writer
After playing through
seven matches in five days ,
sophomore Brett Clarks run
through the ITA Carolinas
Regional tournament ended
Monday with a 7-5, 6-4 loss in
the championship round.
On the way to the cham-
pionship match, No. 14 seed
Clark captured impressive
victories, including the defeat
both No. 2 seed Tsvetan Mihov
of South Carolina 6-3, 6-1 in
the round of 16 and fifth-seed-
ed Cameron Silverman of Elon
6-2, 6-4 in the semifinals.
In the championship
match, Clark remained com-
petitive, but seventh-seeded
Joran Vliegen of East Carolina
proved to be too much, and he
defeated Clark 7-5, 6-4.
I knew it would be a long
tournament, so my mentality
was just to take one match at
a time, Clark said. I thought
I got better and better each
match and I competed as
hard as I could.
Coach Sam Paul praised
Clarks effort in the tourna-
ment.
Those wins are very good,
Paul said. (Clark) played a
very solid tournament. Brett
By Hannah Lebowitz
Staff Writer
After falling 3-6, 6-4,
6-4 in a hard-fought singles
match that lasted more than
two hours in the finals of
the ITA Carolina Regional
tennis tournament Monday,
freshman Hayley Carter
took a 25-minute break and
returned to the court to play
her third match of the day.
But unlike in the singles
competition, in the doubles
final, not only was Carter
teaming up with fellow fresh-
man Jamie Loeb, but she was
also competing against team-
mates Laura Slater and Kate
Vialle
(The singles match) was
tough on me physically and
mentally and having to adjust
and then on top of that hav-
ing to go play my teammates
was very hard to do, Carter
said.
Carter and Loeb ultimately
took the match 8-2 to claim
the doubles title.
This was not the first
match that involved Tar Heel
teammates playing each other
in the tournament. All three
doubles teams representing
the Tar Heels made it to the
semifinals, and as a result,
Slater and Vialle played
Ashley Dai and Tessa Lyons
Monday morning. Slater and
Vialle won the match 8-6 to
advance to the finals.
When we play against
each other in practice they
are our teammates and we
care about the person across
the net which is very different
from a regular match, Lyons
said. Its trying to convince
yourself that the match will
help you You just try not to
think about it.
After Carter and Loeb
defeated Clemsons third-
seeded duo Beatrice Gumulya
and Jessy Rompies in the
semifinals of the doubles
draw, Carter faced No. 27
Beatrice Capra of Duke in the
singles finals.
Carter claimed the first
set, but Capra was able to
come back from being down
a break to take the second set.
Capra captured the third set
to win the match.
I played a good singles
match today, Carter said.
It was very close, but I was
unfortunately not able to pull
it out.
Carters singles record is
now 16-2 in the fall season.
She has had an amazing
fall, said coach Brian Kalbas.
It is so impressive to see her
ability to raise her level with
each round and each oppo-
nent.
Dai, Slater, Lyons and
Vialle also competed in the
singles draw of the tourna-
ment.
Dai won three matches to
make it to the quarterfinals
where she ultimately fell to
Capra 6-1, 6-0.
Hopefully these individual
tournaments can highlight
and showcase what our
players can do individually,
Kalbas said.
And hopefully that will
translate into us having a tre-
mendous team season come
spring.
Brett Clark

singles final
of the ITA
Carolinas
Regional after
winning six
matches.
fought, he stayed in there,
but you got to give credit to
(Vilegen). He was the better
player.
No other player besides
Clark made it past the round
of 16 in the singles tourna-
ment.
In total, 11 UNC players
participated in the singles
tournament, including dou-
bles partners junior Oystein
Steiro and senior Nelson
Vick, who played against each
other in the third round of
the tournament. Vick won
the match, 7-6(5), 6-2, but
lost his next match, falling to
No. 1 seed Romain Bogerts of
Wake Forest, 6-7(4), 6-4, 6-4.
In the doubles tourna-
ment, Vick and Steiro cruised
to the quarterfinals, defeat-
ing Rodrigo Encinas and
Alon Faiman from College
of Charleston, Nick Horton
and Thomas Weigel of N.C.
State, and Jimmy Dougherty
and Randy Phillips of UNC-
Greensboro.
But the duo fell short in
the quarterfinal round to
Rafael Aita and Sam Williams
of UNC-Wilmington, losing a
close 8-6 match.
Clark and freshman
Ronnie Schneider competed
in the doubles tournament.
Clark and Schneider reached
the quarterfinals, only to lose
to the top-seeded doubles
team of the tournament,
Michael Redlicki and Jason
Tahir of Duke, 8-7(6).
We stayed strong, but we
just werent able to quite do
it, Schneider said. I think
we competed really hard and
the most you can do is give
yourself in an opportunity to
win and I thought that we did
that.
For the team to progress
going forward, it must start in
practice, Paul said.
Weve improved our fit-
ness, Paul said. Weve got
a chance to get back to the
practice courts and work a
little bit harder on the physi-
cal side of it and some choices
that these guys made.
Overall, it was a good tour-
nament for us. Were looking
forward to the spring.
Hayley
Carter
won the
doubles draw
with Loeb
before falling
in the singles
draw finals.
Jamie loeb
and fellow
freshman
Carter have
paired to win
two doubles
events so far
this fall.

Bill Friday exhibit opens on campus
By Keaton Green
Staff Writer
Those who want to learn
about the life of the first UNC-
system president can visit a
new on-campus exhibit dedi-
cated to the late Bill Friday.
The main feature of the
multi-site exhibit, Bill Friday:
In His Own Words, is in the
Melba Remig Saltarelli Exhibit
Room of Wilson Library. The
exhibit will run through the
end of December and is free
and open to the public.
The exhibit is part of
the Southern Historical
Collection and includes audio
clips from the Southern
Oral History Program. The
clips illustrate the essence
of Fridays work, said Helen
Thomas, the Southern
Historical Collection gradu-
ate student assistant who was
one of the people responsible
for organizing the project.
Thomas said she knew
about Fridays impact before
coming to UNC.
I grew up knowing Friday
from public TV, she said.
Freshman Andrew
Neiswender is interested in
learning more about Friday.
I havent heard of Bill
Friday ... but hopefully this
exhibit will increase students
knowledge about such an
important UNC figure, he said.
Posters in six locations
across campus and Chapel
Hill, including Carroll Hall
and the Student Union, com-
plement the main exhibit.
The posters each have Quick
Read (QR) codes that can be
scanned with smart phones
to enable visitors to listen to
audio files from speeches and
interviews Friday gave. A web-
site that includes the audio files
accompanies the exhibit for
people who are unable to visit.
The exhibit includes
Fridays notes for the speech
he gave to the U.S. House of
Representatives stressing the
need for government to contin-
ue funding higher education.
Fridays speech notes also
show his influence on state
education. One speech high-
lights Fridays awareness of
the changing economy of
the state and the connection
between literacy and poverty.
A sixth of our popula-
tion lives in circumstances of
income of less than $1,000
to $10,000 dollars a year,
he said in a speech about the
N.C. Poverty Project, a group
that he chaired. What hap-
pens to those people happens
to us because we cant prog-
ress as a state.
Visitors can view Fridays
high school yearbook and his
textile notebook from his stud-
ies at N.C. State University.
Through creating this
exhibit, I learned about his
impact on the nation in the
realm of education.
Senior Ty Fenton said
Friday did a good job of keep-
ing tuition down and is the
reason UNC is still seen as an
affordable public university.
But I did not realize the
national impact he had on
education, Fenton said.

University leaders are
discussing ways to spark con-
versation about reforms in
higher education and they
hope to do so with the benefit
of outside voices.
At Mondays Faculty
Executive Committee meeting,
professors pointed out the ways
in which public universities
have changed and pondered
what it means to be a public
institution in the 21st century.
We have a lot of questions
to answer about what is the
nature of a public university
going forward, said Executive
Vice Chancellor and Provost
Jim Dean at the meeting.
The committee discussed
plans to hold a symposium on
public higher education next
spring. Members said they
wanted to invite people from
outside the University to hear
a wide range of opinions.
UNC biology professor
Gregory Copenhaver sug-
gested inviting people who
are willing to be critical of the
University and will not just tell
people what they want to hear.
Members suggested
bringing in U.S. Secretary
of Education Arne Duncan,
CEOs from big companies
such as Google and members
of the political sphere.
Dean also emphasized the
need for an involved, engaged
discussion.
What I really dont want
is just a bunch of talks, Dean
said. We know. Weve all
been to business meetings. All
the funs in the hallways.
Among the topics they hope
to address at the symposium
are transformation in public
higher education and whether
it is due to funding and chang-
es in leadership.The commit-
tee also talked about UNCs
current drop-add debate.
Professor of microbiol-
ogy and immunology Steve
Bachenheimer refuted the
claim that faculty voted for the
new policy. He said the faculty
is just an advisory group to
UNC-system president Tom
Ross.
The system has never taken
any vote or any recommenda-
tion of faculty assembly to
decide policy issues, he said.
The committee plans on
discussing how the decision
was made, what effect it will
have on students and how
to approach UNCs General
Administration and Board of
Governors about it.
Dean said he wants to do
what will make sense for all
parties involved.
Ive dealt with a fair
amount of difficult things in
my career and this is impres-
sive, Dean said in regard to
the drop-add issue. Im not
going to do nothing.
Another major topic of dis-
cussion focused on UNCs rela-
tionship with the John William
Pope Center for Higher
Education Policy. Dean said
the centers president, Jane
Shaw, recently criticized UNC.
He said Shaw said assigned
reading on campus is too easy,
that UNC allows students too
much choice in what courses
they take and that theres too
much liberal bias on campus.
Dean said he has been com-
municating with Shaw over
email and has invited her and
other members of the Pope
Center to the University.
I think their understand-
ing of higher education is
anecdotal, Dean said.
He said he would love for
the centers staff to visit UNC
and continue the conversation.

Nearly 100 individuals
hailing from universi-
ties across the country and
around the world gath-
ered in Raleigh last week-
end for the Summit for
Transformative Education, a
three-day event that sought to
foster skills in entrepreneur-
ship, leadership and commu-
nity building.
The summit, led by the
Transformative Action
Institute, a national group
that promotes social innova-
tion, used a series of lectures
and workshops to give par-
ticipants professional devel-
opment that they could take
back to their respective cam-
puses and communities.
The groups summits are
held throughout the year
at universities nationwide,
including Johns Hopkins
University and Stanford
University. Kevin Miller, the
East Coast summit organizer
for the institute and a 2013
N.C. State University gradu-
ate, said he feels the sum-
mits teach attendees how
to explore their passions in
social innovation and use
these passions to help others.
Of the participants at the
Raleigh summit, about half
were students, faculty and staff
from UNC, Duke University,
N.C. State University or Elon
University. This summit was
endorsed by a variety of groups,
including the UNC system and
the Center for Advancement
of Social Entrepreneurship at
Duke.
UNC was one of the
largest schools represented,
which is an indicator of how
entrepreneurial and innova-
tive UNC students are, said
Allie Treske Ahearn, assistant
communications director for
UNCs Campus Y.
dth/callaghan ohare
Wilson Librarys new exhibit, Bill Friday: In His Own Words,is on dis-
play in the Melba Remig Saltarelli Exhibit Room through Dec. 31.

education reform
College leaders meet at

Ahearn, also a fellow at
social innovation group
StartingBloc, helped out at
the summit and said the event
empowered individuals to take
over their education, future
jobs and lives in general.
She said the summits focus
on social innovation the
idea that work should be done
not only for personal ben-
efits, but for a greater good in
society was one reason she
decided to get involved.
The program is special to
her, she said, because of her
passion for teaching people
how to use social innova-
tion to better North Carolina
through their lives and jobs.
When the people in social
innovation think about N.C.,
they just think about the tech
things, Ahearn said. We can
help people develop their pas-
sions, and show the world all
the other reasons in addition
to technology to love N.C.
Participants at the summit
were given materials to help
them identify their passions
and apply them to a job that
is personally fulfilling and
benefits their community.
Regular single tickets cost
$350 for students and $850
for professors, entrepreneurs
and non-profit organizations.
UNC senior Hetali Lodaya,
a participant at a previous
summit and an active leader
on campus, said in an email
that the summit gave her the
skills she needed to lead her
campus organizations.
We see and hear about so
many great leaders on a day
to day basis, but it can be hard
to imagine yourself doing
those same things, she said.
Because of this summit, I saw
myself as that kind of leader.
A symposium on
public education may
be held in the spring.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
FEATUrED OnlinE rEADEr cOmmEnT
Educate yourself and
make some noise
TO THE EDITOR:
Recently, the DTH com-
mented on startling statis-
tics concerning the demo-
graphics of the class of
2017; one particularly dis-
pleasing statistic being that
only 98 African-American
men are in UNCs first-year
class. While this sparked a
campus-wide conversation
about the need for all forms
of diversity at UNC, it is
time to actively leverage
our power as students.
Through the Campus
Y, UNC students helped
bring litigation that forced
the university to end racial
desegregation during the
Civil Rights Movement;
students have and will con-
tinue to be the vehicle of
change at our university.
This summer, I attended
Carolina United. CU is a
5-day summer program
(offered by Carolina
Leadership Development)
that takes place the week
before classes start in
August. During the week,
Vice Chancellor Winston B.
Crisp, and Vice Provost Dr.
Taffye Clayton spoke on the
need for students to arm
themselves with education
and make noise to the
administration on issues
that affect them. I would
like to extend their invita-
tion to the entire university.
Be bold. Make noise.
As students at our states
flagship institution, it is
our collective responsibil-
ity to make noise about the
issues in our state and espe-
cially our university as they
pertain to education inequal-
ity. Be on the lookout for
Education Week, Oct. 21-25.
Join UNC Hillel, Students
for Education Reform,
UNC Teach For America,
Carolina Hispanic Student
Association, UNC Black
Student Movement, UNC
LGTBQ Center, Student
Government Association
and UNC NAACP as we
discuss inequities that exist
in education and what we
can do about them. We must
ensure that the decisions
made by our appointed and
elected officials are done
with all students in mind.

TO THE EDITOR:
UNC students and
Student Government
have rightly criticized the
Association of Student
Governments for wasting
the fees of 3,000 students
at their last meeting.
ASG had their hotel
rooms paid for, their meals
paid for, their gas paid for,
and yet they failed yet again
to do any meaningful advo-
cacy for students.
Two years ago, our orga-
nizations stood together
with many others to sup-
port UNCs withdrawal
from the organization
because of its dismal lack
of reform despite years

Happy
belated
birthday,
UNC
T
his University recently
turned 220 years old.
Whether its actually the
oldest public university in the
country (of course it is) is not
important to this column. What
is important is that 220 years is
a long time, and as good of an
opportunity as any to reflect on
what UNC is, and should be.
UNC isnt its landmarks.
As sentimental as I am, I
want this University to outlast
Davie Poplar. One of these days
that tree will fall, no matter
how much concrete is involved.
Speaking of concrete, some-
day Wilson Library, the Bell
Tower and even the Dean Dome
will come down, too. But the
University is not its landmarks.
UNC isnt its people.
James K. Polk became the
president of the United States
of America after graduating
from this University, but his
UNC legacy is as the namesake
of a quad that a lot of people
call, You know, the one with
the library and the flagpole.
Yeah, the normal-shaped one.
At any given moment, the
people who make up the UNC
community staff, students,
faculty, administration
make UNC what it is.
But only for that given
moment. Almost one-fourth
of the undergraduate popula-
tion leaves every year. Even the
longest-lasting staff, faculty and
administrators are only here for
a few decades. That seems like
a long time, until I remember
that UNC is 220 years old.
The group of people will
change throughout the years,
until eventually no one who is
here right now will be left. But
UNC is not its people.
The Old Well will rot away,
the Bell Tower will crumble,
chancellors will come and go.
So what makes this university
UNC?
UNC is a set of core values.
Thats easy to say. The
harder thing is defining those
values. Luckily, UNC has done
that for us: Lux libertas.
Its lux light the sensu-
al representative of knowledge
and hope since classical times.
Its libertas freedom
in its most basic sense, both
opportunity and responsibility.
I leave those definitions
intentionally vague: a starting
point.
These values arent imposed
on us. Instead its our job as
members of this University
community to strive to define
these values in the era we live in.
These definitions will change,
but the beauty of values, as
opposed to landmarks or peo-
ple, is that they endure as they
change. They endure because
they change.
UNC will be UNC as long as
it wholeheartedly endorses the
pursuit of the truth, regardless
of whether or not that pursuit
is in vogue.
UNC will be UNC as long
as it creates opportunities for
all people who strive to engage
in that pursuit on the highest
level, regardless of who they
are or what they have.
But values dont ensure
that this University will last
forever. If UNC abandons
its values if it decides that
gain is more important than
knowledge or that convenience
is more important than oppor-
tunity and responsibility it
wouldnt matter if people still
remembered MJ or continued
to drink from the Old Well:
UNC would no longer be UNC.

of promises and for its
proven inability to effec-
tively advocate for students.
That effort failed, so UNCs
delegation recommitted to
pursuing reform efforts.
Since then, ASG has
continued its unblemished
streak of incompetence.
From the issue of gender
non-specific housing to the
recent change in the sys-
tems class drop/add policy,
ASG has failed to stand up
for students in the Board of
Governors and other insti-
tutions affecting students.
Regardless of an indi-
vidual students particular
position on any of these
issues, all students should
be concerned by the failures
of the only systemwide
organization meant to serve
as the students voice.
Indeed, the question is
becoming whether systemic
issues are responsible for
the inability of ASG to
make any meaningful advo-
cacy for students.
Therefore, students
must have the opportunity
to weigh in on the situa-
tion. It is time for Student
Congress to call for another
referendum so that stu-
dents who are not being
represented by the ASG
may voice their opposition.

Creating a new place
for local homeless
TO THE EDITOR:
The only emergency
mens homeless shelter in
the Carrboro area is making
the change to a transitional
shelter that will provide aid
on a more long-term basis
for homeless men. This
new shelter will open in the
next two years and be able
to provide better long-term
care for the homeless in the
hopes of being a transition-
al place where the men can
work through the problems
that made them homeless.
This new homeless shel-
ter will give these men the
tools they need to change
their situation. There are
different reasons why they
are homeless, and some-
times it is due to situations
beyond their control. So it
is important they get the
help they need in order to
get back on their feet.
This is why it is impor-
tant that other people
become more educated
about the different situ-
ations that can lead to a
person becoming homeless.
There are so many miscon-
ceptions about homeless-
ness that need to be ended.
Many people often do
not even see the homeless,
looking right past them as
they walk down the street.
Homelessness is a real
problem and those in this
situation need help and
support to get them back
on track. It is a growing
problem that people need
to be aware of. Through
education, we need to work
together to end the igno-
rance surrounding home-
lessness.

A
s the Central
West Steering
Committee begins
to present its development
plan for the area near the
intersection of Estes Drive
and Martin Luther King
Boulevard, it should speak
with one voice.
A separate plan pro-
posed by a minority of the
committee attempts to
preserve the residential
aspects of the area. The
plan had its most valu-
able ideas incorporated
into the majoritys plan. It
should now be abandoned
and the minority should
come back into the fold in
order to move foward.
Dont be a Nader
EDiTOriAl
The minoritys plan was
partially focused on traffic
increases that often follow
development.
However, the current
plan has an answer to this.
With a large amount
of multipurpose land use,
drivers would park once
and be able to stop at a
variety of businesses. The
plan also includes devel-
opment of walkways and
bike paths, promoting
alternatives to cars.
Protection of the envi-
ronment is also a significant
concern. However, the rec-
ommendation to construct
buildings in the range of
five to eight stories would
decrease the required area
of contructed buildings.
There is also a proposi-
tion to include a land swap,
helping negate the overall
cost to the environment.
The Citizens First Plan
had commendable efforts
behind it. The point of
minority efforts isnt to see
them enacted, it is merely
to get the ideas out there.
Ralph Nader could
never have won the presi-
dency, but he ran so that
the Green Partys values
gained attention.
Analogously, the efforts
of the minority in the com-
mittee brought attention
to these points. However,
the committee should now
speak with one voice.
The minority of the
Steering Plan Committee
should abandon its efforts
and speak with the major-
ity to prevent a fracturing
of support, which could
lead to adopting the
George W. Bush of plans.
New development
plan needs unity
moving forward.
T
he Carrboro Board
of Aldermen
should allow drive-
thru windows at a bank
that may be built on the
Rogers-Triem property.
The property is located
in an M-1 zone, where
drive-thru windows are
currently prohibited. In a
recent meeting, the board
voted to hold a public
hearing concerning the
expansion of uses in M-1
zones, but decided the
drive-thru ban will not
be included and will stay
intact for now.
The board has good rea-
son to be wary of allowing
too many drive-thrus. It is
Zoning out
EDiTOriAl
healthier for people to step
out of their cars and walk,
and idling cars waiting in
line increase greenhouse
gas emissions. Carrboro
does not want to move
backwards by setting prec-
edents that would increase
environmental pollution.
However, in this case,
a drive-thru window
increases safety. Banks,
unlike fast food restaurants,
are an essential destination
for people of all ages. It can
be dangerous to carry cash
across a parking lot, espe-
cially for elderly or disabled
people. Minor health ben-
efits should not come at the
risk of endagering people.
Therefore, the board
should consider lifting the
ban for this bank. There
are ways to do this with-
out setting a precedent for
in M-1 zones.
One option is convert-
ing the property into a
commercial B-4 zone,
where drive-thrus are
allowed. Board members
are wary of creating too
much of a commercial
presence downtown, but
this is the best option to
avoid allowing drive-thrus
in all M-1 zones.
At the very least, the
board should allow discus-
sion of this topic at the
public hearing on Oct. 30.
It is important to get public
opinion and allow citizens
to weigh in on the issue.
If Carrboro residents
show support for allow-
ing the bank to include a
drive-thru window, all or
part of the Rogers-Triem
property should be con-
verted into a B-4 zone.
Town should look to
get around drive-
thru ban for banks.
T
he University
should continue to
push for more busi-
ness and industry funding
in the future but not move
too far from federal funds.
UNC ranked 17th in
terms of university expen-
diture numbers as of 2011
but of the top 25 schools
in overall funding, UNC
ranked 20th in business
and industry funding.
Peer institutions, such as
the University of California-
Berkeley, get significantly
more funding from private
business and industry com-
panies on average.
Over the past three
years, UNC has done bet-

ter with diversifying fund-
ing sources and expanding
to more industry funds.
Yet, in order to keep
competing, the University
needs to continue to push
for more funding from
private businesses and
industries.
Private funding comes
with restrictions, though.
When businesses fund
research, they generally give
money for specific research.
They do not generally hand
out money to universities
hoping that schools will
conduct lucrative research.
Therefore, private
funding comes with more
limited guidelines, and
the University has to work
closely with the business
to determine a use for
the funds that meets the
needs of both parties.
However, business and
industry investors that
would potentially want to
fund university research
often do not have very
different interests than
researchers themselves.
This would make it rela-
tively easy for researchers
and the investors to find a
common interest to invest
in.
The process of apply-
ing for federal grants still
offers a larger amount of
freedom, which is valuable.
Nonetheless, other
competitive universities
have demonstrated the
usefulness and necessity
of private funding in the
past few years, and UNC
should continue to invest
time and effort into find-
ing more business and
industry funding.
UNC should look to
private funding
to keep up.
