Rob Sekay (left) and Trevor Dougherty, seniors, are two student DJs who oppose local bars having ladies nights.
Student disc jockeys campaign against sexist bar culture
By Gabriella Cirelli
Arts & Culture Editor
Disc jockeys Trevor Dougherty and Rob
Sekay do it for the ladies.
The UNC seniors, who have made names
for themselves at bars and clubs like Pulse
Nightclub and Cats Cradle, are joining other
student DJs to speak out against discrimina-
tion in bars and clubs.
The movement is targeting the practice
of offering free or discounted admission for
women, which they believe is demeaning to
female bargoers.
I dont think a lot of women really real-
ize that they are actually the product being
sold, Sekay said. By advertising ladies night
or by offering no cover to women, that tells
the male audience that this is where all the
women are going to be. And not only is that
objectifying the women, but its also commod-
ifying them as well, which is pretty harsh.
Dougherty decided to become vocal about
the issue after an incident at Fitzgeralds
Irish Pub in April. A female patron com-
plained when the DJ played the popular song
Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke, which has
drawn criticism from feminist activists who
say the song promotes rape culture.
Dougherty helped orchestrate a small boy-
cott of Fitzgeralds in April, but he said that
isnt the goal of this movement. The DJs have
agreed not to play during any nights that offer
different admission rates to men and women.
As performers and as people who live off
of this night scene, boycotting clubs would
be boycotting ourselves, he said.The big-
gest thing I want would be to start a con-
versation with the people who control the
night culture in Chapel Hill.
Sekay said he plans to start a web cam-
paign highlighting some of the sexism he sees
in nightlife and approach venues to see if they
might engage in this discussion.
I think that they would be willing to
work with us as long as we come at them
with an open expression of dialogue and
were not hostile, he said.
Pulse Nightclub owner Richard Sergo
is one such person who is on board with
the DJs campaign. He has worked with
Dougherty, a resident DJ at Pulse, for
almost three years.
Weve noticed that, basically, whether
or not we do a ladies night or just a regular
night, the turnout was the same, if not better,
Sergo said. (Trevor) talked to me about how
Pulse would feel, essentially making a com-
mitment to divert from that practice in our
official Pulse events, and I dont see why that
would be a bad idea.

Sexual assault
policy not yet
updated
By Bradley Saacks and Jenny Surane
Senior Writers
Today students will have classes and assign-
ments but still no updated sexual assault
policy.
The Sexual Assault Task Force said it would
have its new policy ready by the beginning of the
year. The release has been delayed several times
since the Task Force originally convened in May
2013. At first, the group said it would release
preliminary recommendations for the University
before the start of the 2013-14 academic year.
We expect (the updated policy) to be released
very soon, said Joel Curran, the Vice Chancellor
of Communications and Public Affairs.
The University began evaluating its sexual
assault policies after three students filed a
complaint against the University with the U.S.
Department of Educations Office for Civil
Rights, alleging that UNC facilitated a hostile
environment for victims reporting sexual assault.
Since then, members of the Sexual Assault Task
Force have spent months defining words like
consent, inebriation and black-out drunk to
craft a new policy that would address the emerg-
ing prevalence of sexual assault on campus.
Curran declined to comment on why the new
policy wouldnt be ready today. Junior Sarah-
Kathryn Bryan, a member of the Sexual Assault
Task Force, said the Chancellors office didnt
receive the groups final draft until last week.
We had our final meeting in June, Bryan
said. But we had to make sure all the language
was in line with the task force.
Between May 2013 and June 2014, the Sexual
Assault Task Force met 20 times, according to The
Daily Tar Heels analysis of the groups schedule.
The group spent $4,842.88 on food, bever-
ages and catering for these meetings, according
to public records provided to The Daily Tar Heel.
University trust funds, not student fees, paid for
the food expenses, the record shows.
The University is part of the growing number
of colleges and universities to revisit their sexual
The final draft was delivered to

Construction dominates quad
By Bradley Saacks
University Editor
Instagram feeds across UNC
will be missing the customary first
day of classes quad pictures today.
The University is currently
removing asbestos insulation
from the steam tunnels that run
under campus. The construction
wont be completed until March
2015, said Bill Lowery, the
cogeneration systems manager.
There will also be additional
vents added to the tunnels as
well as improvements to the
supporting structure for under-
ground pipes.
It is one of those unfortunate
realities that we all live with,
that to be able to provide the
level of service that we do on this
campus and the quality environ-
ment for a great education, we
must occasionally disturb areas
to maintain and care for them,
Lowery said in an email.
The paths to some build-
ings have been blocked because
temporary fencing has been
placed around the construction,
but there are signs indicating
detours. Lowery stressed all
buildings are still open.
This project is not preventing
access to any campus buildings,
he said. The project does have
some sidewalk and building
access point detours that are in
place for the safety of the stu-
dents, the public and for our con-
struction team, but all facilities
will remain accessible for use.
The construction will cost the
University nearly $5 million,
according to a document from
Susan Hudson, a spokeswoman
for the University.

A
word of advice for med students: Don t take sou-
veniers from your operations. Croatian police arrested a
52-year-old nurse for amassing quite a large collection of
penises that he had been taking from dead patients. The man
kept the body parts in glass jars filled with formaldehydebecause prop-
er preservation is a must. The hospital said they had no idea that Buffalo
Bill was decorating his pad with stolen appendages. The nurse had no
previous criminal record, and those who knew him described him as a
family man. In his defense, the collection could have been scientific. I,
for one, am curious as to whether George Costanzas principle of shrink-
age applies to the undead as well.

By Holly West
City Editor
This Friday, students who
want to celebrate making it
through their first week of
classes will have a new hang-
out to visit The Heel Bar
and Grill.
The Heel is located in the
former space of Chapel Hill
nightclub The Thrill, which
closed July 11 after two years
in business.
The new bar is student-
focused, said owner Glen
Turner, who also owned The
Thrill.
Turner said he partnered
up with Buzz Rides CEO
Joey Skavroneck and some
other UNC students to
create a concept for a res-
taurant and bar that would
capture students attention.
The group spent time get-
ting feedback from students
and applying it to their busi-
ness plan.
Turner said there didnt
seem to be any bars in Chapel
Hill that catered directly to
students, including his.
Chapel Hill isnt a club
town, he said. Its more of a
friendly bar town. We want
to cater to the right group of
people, and we felt that The
Thrill wasnt drawing that
group that we wanted.
Peter Wu, a junior econom-
ics major, said hes sad to see
The Thrill go.
Between that and East
End closing, its a shame, he
said.
But Elizabeth Commitz, a
Durham resident who visits
Chapel Hill and Carrboro
often, said she welcomes a
bar with a more laid-back
atmosphere.
A club doesnt really fit
into this area, she said.
The Heel had its soft open-
ing last weekend and will
celebrate its grand opening
Friday.
The bar will have a spe-
cialty drink menu featuring
signature cocktails with
names like Moonshine
Mojito and Bullet Bourbon
Lemonade.
Turner said many of the
drinks have locally-sourced
ingredients.
Its kind of like a North
Carolina recipe with a mod-
ern day kick, he said.
Its full food menu includes
classic offerings such as
cheeseburgers in addition
to quirkier options such as
chicken and waffles and deep
fried grilled cheese sand-
wiches.
Its kind of a spin on
American cuisine and some
southern food as well, Turner
said.
For more adventurous
diners, The Heel offers a chal-
lenge the Doms Dump
Burger Challenge.
The Doms Dump Burger
is a one-pound burger topped
with mac and cheese, onion
rings, barbecue sauce and
bacon. It is served with a
pound of fries.
Anyone who completely
finishes the meal will get their
picture hung on the wall and
receive a T-shirt.
The Heel will have live
music a couple times a
month, Turner said.
Ryan Godwin, a Winston-
Salem resident who visits
Chapel Hill frequently, said
thats something hed love to
see.
I would like to see more
live music, he said.
As far as late night on
Franklin, I dont know a lot of
places.
Fridays grand opening
will include a performance by
Chapel Hills The Trap House
Band.

Good Neighbor Initiative volunteers Cassandra Bennet (far left) and C.J. Click (far right) speak with UNC students Jakob Nielsen (left) and Nataniel Lelental.
Chapel Hill residents get to know the students next door
By Zoe Schaver
Assistant City Editor
The ever-expanding Good Neighbor
Initiative saw 55 volunteers sign up to go door-
to-door Monday afternoon, only slightly fewer
than last years all-time high of 63.
During the event, volunteers including
UNC students, Chapel Hill residents, police
officers and University staff split into groups
to visit houses and offer advice on how to be a
polite, law-abiding neighbor.
Megan Wooley, community sustainability
planner for the Town of Chapel Hill, has been
volunteering with the initiative for four years.
What we find is that a lot of students who
live in the neighborhoods have just never lived
on their own before, so its important to remind
them that theyre living in a different space,
Wooley said. Its encouraging them to keep the
towns regulations in mind and, in a lot of cases,
letting them know what the regulations are.
Typical topics of conversation include the
towns four-person occupancy rule, noise ordi-
nances and trash pickup guidelines. This year,
some new topics arose, such as parking rules
that were released in September, as well as
changed rules for recycling collection.
Organized by event leader Aaron
Bachenheimer, director of UNCs Office of
Fraternity & Sorority Life and Community
Involvement, the volunteers spent two hours
walking the length of the Northside, Cameron-
McCauley, Pine Knolls and Davie Circle neigh-
borhoods, as well as along Pine Bluff Trail.
Weve expanded our resources significantly
over the years, said Bachenheimer, who has been
with the Good Neighbor Initiative since 2009.
Chapel Hill resident and volunteer Tristan
Routh, an attorney for Carolina Student Legal
Services, said he volunteered for the first time
this year to inform students of their legal rights
and duties as residents.
For people to be good neighbors, its espe-
cially important for them to know the law, he
said.
Bachenheimer said that in recent years, vol-
unteers have hit about 1,000 houses through
the event. Wooley said many neighborhoods
have requested that the initiative expand to
include them.
Becca Reardon, a UNC student living in the
Northside neighborhood, one of the areas volun-
teers visited, said she lived off campus last year
as well.
I was in an apartment, which makes you
feel like its only students living around you,
Reardon said. Here, its a weird mosaic of
people. We have a little kid living next door,
and Im so used to living only around people
my own age.
One of the events first-time volunteers was
Faith Thompson, ombudswoman for the town
of Chapel Hill.
Im hoping I ll see a light bulb go off in
someones head, like, Oh, thats what I can do
to be a good neighbor! she said.

A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
By Crystal Yuille
Staff Writer
The UNC Studio Art Majors
Association is made up of student art-
ists who love displaying their work in
Hanes Art Center. The associations
art gallery in the building, though, is
nothing more than a simple storage
closet.
The group strives to redefine what
creative expression means on campus,
particularly when it comes to censor-
ship in student art.
Senior Diego Camposeco, president
of SAMA, said their storage closet is
not a form of censorship by the school.
Rather, the artists of SAMA decided to
censor themselves.
Its more self-censorship than
anything else, said Camposeco, who
used to work for The Daily Tar Heel as
a photographer. A lot of people self-
censor a lot of people dont want to
create controversy.
While the space might seem bizarre,
Camposeco said its most important
to create art that strays from what is
expected, regardless of where its being
displayed.
In the Hanes Art Center, artists feel
that it is their space. They know their
art will be valued more there, he said.
Camposeco cited an exhibit that
SAMA hosted last year in the closet
space titled, Coming In An Art
Show On Queer Aesthetics, in which
then-senior Andy Champions sculp-
ture titled Devotion featured 20
phallic wax candles and glitter.
We had a penis altar in the show.
If we put that piece in the middle of
campus, it wouldnt have the same
effect, Camposeco said.
Some students like junior
Victor Foster, a member of the
Undergraduate Art Association, want
to see a serious reevaluation of the type
of art being displayed on campus.
I can definitely testify to the fact
that there is a real lack of dynamic art
around here, Foster said.
To me, dynamic art is the type
of art that takes you somewhere. It
evokes feelings of love and regret, hap-
piness and disgust. Art is supposed to
make you feel human. I havent seen
much of that kind of art around UNC.
Similar sentiments were expressed
by another member of the UAA, fresh-
man Kishan Rana. While he hasnt
been here long, he said disapproves of
the idea of censorship.
America is obsessed with social
media and fitting in. We have unrealis-
tic social standards and norms, Rana
said.
Its so stupid that women have to
cover their nipples when men can free-
ly expose them. We all have dicks and
vaginas. What now? Embrace it.
Camposeco said he has similar opin-
ions about how social norms enforce
censorship.
Its a form of censorship when peo-
ple dont want to stray from the norm
because they feel pressure from their
peers to conform to what theyre doing
or what theyre saying, he said.
Camposeco said he also feels
SAMAs own self-censorship opens the
space to those actively seeking differ-
ent expressions of art. He said at the
groups queer art show students made
art that revolved around the defini-
tion of queer and what being queer
means.
Its because they feel different
they dont feel a part of the main-
stream, he said.
Our mission is simply to make art
that we realize isnt shown anywhere
else. We want to see real art, and its
unfortunate that we have to take it
into our own hands.

New Honor Court rules for hearings, penalties
By Langston Taylor
Assistant University Editor
The Honor Court will now need
less evidence to convict students
after major changes were imple-
mented to the student Honor Code
this month.
The changes to the Instrument
of Student Judicial Governance,
the result of years of work by the
Committee on Student Conduct,
also include changes to suggested
academic dishonesty sanctions and
the notation of forced class failures
on students transcripts.
Faculty involvement
In a primarily student-run honor
system, trained faculty will take part
in academic dishonesty hearings in
which students plead not guilty.
The five-person panels were all
students, but a faculty member will
now replace one of the students.
Honor Court Chairwoman
Dakota Foard said the change was
done to make faculty feel included
and should not change much.
At the end of the day, it prob-
ably will not change the outcome of
the hearings in any significant way.
Adam Bridges, a freshman from
Raleigh, said he liked the idea.
Different backgrounds have dif-
ferent points of view, he said.
But freshman Tyler McCollum
said he was concerned about faculty
members being more sympathetic to
their co-workers than to students.
The new Instrument also allows
for students and instructors to settle
the case without going through a
hearing if the student has no prior
academic dishonesty violations.
Lower burden of proof
Formerly, students charged with
Honor Code violations were con-
sidered innocent until proven guilty
beyond a reasonable doubt. The
burden of proof has been lowered to
clear and convincing evidence.
Student Attorney General Raquel
Dominguez said the previous stan-
dard was the highest possible and is
rare for colleges around the nation.
Foard said the high standard,
though unusual, did not pose a prob-
lem for convicting students. Eighty-
seven percent of students either pled
guilty or were found so in Honor
Court cases between Feb. 18 and
Dec. 4 of last year, she said.
Sanctioning changes

Students are innocent until proven

The minimum academic dishonesty
sanction included probation for one
semester.
Cases were heard by a panel of fve
student Honor Court members.
A failing grade from a sanction
showed as an F on the students
transcript.
The minimum sanction no longer
includes probation, and diferent
levels of dishonesty carry diferent
usual sanctions.
Academic dishonesty cases are heard
by four student members of the Honor
Court and a faculty member from
the Faculty Hearings Board Panel.
A course failure from a sanction
shows as an XF on the students
transcript. The student can later
petition to change it to a normal F.
sanction for academic dishonesty
cases and made the sanctioning
system more flexible overall.
The Honor Courts usual sanc-
tion previously included suspension
for a semester; a minimum sanction
included a semester of probation.
The court now separates violations
into three levels, the least severe of
which will not warrant a recom-
mendation for probation.
Dominguez said some professors
were hesitant to charge students
because they thought the penalties
were too harsh. Each student who
receives a failing grade due to a sanc-
tion will see the violation noted on
the students transcript.
The changes to the Instrument
took effect Aug. 1.
We really encourage any stu-
dents to look into them and learn
about them because they do affect
students, Foard said.

a new shop in Chapel Hill.
Mark May, an employee
at the new H2Only Cleaners
store on Rosemary Street,
said the cleaning method
was developed by German
companies and does not
produce carcinogenic fumes
like other dry cleaners.
The Rosemary Street
location is the fourth
H2Only location in the
Triangle.
A lot of cleaners will say
theyre organic cleaners.
Organic doesnt really mean
anything, May said. The
stuff theyre using to clean
your clothes is still toxic.
The Varsity Theater
is hosting a screening of
Freedom Summer tonight
at 6:30 p.m.
The PBS documen-
tary chronicles the 10-week
period in 1964 when activ-
ists traveled across segre-
gated Mississippi to register
African American voters.
Before the screening, com-
munity members will speak
about the importance of pro-
tecting voting rights.
The speakers will touch on
the new voter identification
laws that take effect in North
Carolina in 2016.
The event is being spon-
sored by a coalition of local
social justice organizations.
Doors open at 6 p.m.
In celebration of its
40th anniversary, Mellow
Mushroom is offering its
1974 prices for several items
on Wednesday.
The nationwide pizza
chain will be offering cheese
pizzas for $2.50 and coke
products for 30 cents.
Ashley Cohn, assistant
general manager of the
Chapel Hill location, said
extra toppings will cost extra
at modern-day prices.
Budweiser and PBR beer
will be on tap for 75 cents,
and bottles of Michelob will
also cost 75 cents.
The Chapel Hill restau-
rant is located at 310 W.
Frankin St. and will offer
special pricing all day.
The space left empty by
Ram Book & Supply has
finally been filled by
Chapel Hill Fan Shop.
Chapel Hill Fan Shop,
which is owned by Illinois-
based Follett Corporation,
opened its 306 W. Franklin
St. location Aug. 8.
The store carries a range
of UNC-themed apparel and
accessories.
Sales associate Audrey
Norton said the store will
get different seasonal items
throughout the year.
The store also carries text-
books that can be purchased
or rented. Many of the mate-
rials can also be purchased as
e-books for laptops, tablets
or e-readers.
Trolly Stop Hot Dogs is
well on its way to opening a
Chapel Hill location.
The North Carolina-based
hot dog chain is working
with the town to get per-
mits for a space at 306 W.
Franklin St., said Trolly Stop
owner Rick Coombs.
Coombs said the restau-
rant will also offer hand-
dipped ice cream and beer,
but hot dogs will remain its
main business.
All we do is hot dogs,
Coombs said. There arent
a lot of people out there that
specialize in one item.
The store will offer spe-
cialty hot dogs, including
sausage dogs and burger
dogs.

BAR CULTURE

Rob Davis, the former gen-
eral manager of the Henderson
Street bar Recovery Room and
the new general manager of
the Franklin Street bar The
Deep End, said he sees no
problem with charging lower
cover prices for female patrons
or students.
For us, its just purely from
a business standpoint, he
said. If girls are in your bar,
CONSTRUCTION

Lowery said the asbestos
insulation has been in the
steam tunnels since their con-
struction in the early 1940s.
Some students arent excited
about the prospect of a semes-

but realize it is something the
University had to do.
I know a lot of old stuff

assault policies as the national
dialogue around sexual assault
on college campuses surges.
In July, the U.S. Senate
Subcommittee on Financial
& Contracting Oversight
released a report that said
universities are largely
failing to address sexual
assaults. A survey of 440
universities found that
40 percent of schools had
not investigated a single
instance of sexual assault in
they knew the health effects,
but, I mean, it is a shame it
has been there as long as it
has, junior Chichi Orji said.
You know as long as theyre
getting rid of it, its fine.
Freshman David Doochin
agreed, saying it is surprising
that the University is address-
ing it now, but the construc-
tion is helping more than
hurting.
I dont really think it is a
huge bother, but it certainly
isnt aesthetically pleasing ...
I would say it is necessary,
he said.
Lowery said the construc-
tion has been in the works for
ten years, and it is a part of a
larger campus master plan.
The timing for construc-
tion was a matter of coordina-
tion with other campus activi-
ties and needs and allocation
of funding, he said.
Freshman Annie
Konzelman said the construc-
tion could have an effect on
potential student tours.
I saw (the construction),
and I was a little bit disap-
pointed that it didnt look as
beautiful as when I came to
visit, she said.
Freshman Madeleine
Shafto said it will take some
adjusting to, but it wouldnt
have made a difference to her
if the construction were there
when she toured the campus.
It wouldnt have affected
my decision, because it is
necessary, so, at some point,
these things are going to have
to happen, she said.
Orji said, personally, he
would not have taken the
construction too seriously if
he were a prospective stu-
dent visiting campus, but he
understands the issue.
I know a lot of people
would see that and be just
completely taken back by
that, he said.
Lowery acknowledged
the situation is not ideal, but
the amount of construction
on campus is actually much
lower than a few years ago.
This campus is well over
200 years old. It takes a lot of
TLC to provide the wonderful
institution that you see before
you today and for those that
came before and those that
will follow.

guys come in. The DJs might
have a problem with it, but
the guys dont.
Davis said his main concern
is providing a positive environ-
ment for UNC students, which
is why Deep End often charges
a lower cover for students who
present a UNC One Card.
I just want a place where
students and locals can come
and feel safe and have fun,
he said.
The Deep End doesnt host
specific ladies nights. The bar
often offers discounts on cov-
ers for women. Dougherty
said the practice creates a meat
market in bars and clubs and
draws attention away from
what nightlife should be about.
These nights are about
the music and the party and
the experience, he said. The
hookup culture people might
enjoy, but thats secondary.
But Davis said he doesnt
know of a bar in town that
would survive without promo-
tional nights or cover discounts.
When our customers start
complaining, Ill do something.
But until then, everybodys
copacetic with it, he said.
Dougherty and Sekay said
they want to encourage stu-
dents to speak out about what
they want from Chapel Hill
bar culture.
Franklin should be run
by the opinions of students,
Dougherty said. And we have
that power.

five years.
In its report released earlier
this month, the UNC-system
Board of Governors said that
system schools should prompt-
ly investigate and adjudicate
reports of sexual assault.
After releasing its new
Gender-Based Misconduct
Policy for Students last
week, Columbia University
was criticized for failing
to address accomodations
for survivors and leaving
the appeals process in the
hands of administrators with
little experience. Harvard
University also updated its
Sexual and Gender-Based
Harassment Policy earlier
this summer after its original
policy failed to provide aca-
demic and therapeutic sup-
port for victims.
The task force was commit-
ted to including student and
administrative feedback, and
Curran said that means releas-
ing the report took longer.
Administrators have
already adopted many of the
policies laid out in the task
forces report, Bryan said.
Having a formal rollout
wasnt expected, Bryan said.
We have people working in
accordance with the new policy
even though it hasnt been inte-
grated into the whole campus.
Going forward, the mem-
bers of the task force will
work with the University to
ensure the new policies are
implented smoothly.
I will be focused on dis-
pensing as much information
to people entangled in inter-
personal violences issues,
Bryan said.

weekend hours would be a
positive addition.
Last year, I felt the frustra-
tion of always having to use
Rams or Franklin Street. I wish
these new hours affected bot-
tom of Lenoir, too, she said.
Freeman said every five
years, the University brings
in food consultants to give
dining officials an unbiased
examination of food services at
UNC. Last year, a firm called
Envision Strategies hosted
focus groups with students as
part of this assessment, and the
lack of weekend hours came up
LENOIR
FROM PAGE 1
often in these focus groups.
Freeman said another
motivation for adding Lenoir
brunch was the increasing
popularity of brunch at Rams
Head Dining Hall in recent
years. Last year, an average
of 1,500 to 1,800 students
came to eat brunch at Rams
each weekend. Comparatively,
lunch which is currently
the most crowded meal at Top
of Lenoir averages 2,200
students per day.
To get the quick service
we wanted at those times, we
felt that those numbers were
high enough to open Lenoir
Hall for breakfast and lunch,
Freeman said.
Freeman said he has a
goal of 1,000 students eating
brunch at each location.
The cost of the new
weekend meals is expected
to be between $150,000
and $180,000 for Carolina
Dining Services. These costs
mostly go toward labor with a
smaller portion going toward
additional food purchases.
The costs are covered by the
prepaid meal plans students
have purchased.
Freeman said he hopes
the new hours will cause an
increase in the number and the
size of meal plans purchased.
He said similar increases hap-
pened with the addition of
late-night meals at Rams Head
Dining Hall in 2010.
The convenience of the
additional hours appealed to
senior Lisa Morris.
Its definitely more conve-
nient for people on campus. If
I lived on campus, Id be really
happy about it, Morris said.
Sophomore Jennifer Jin
had mixed feelings about the
new hours.
I think its convenient,
she said. It was a struggle as
a freshman, but it was also
nice to see upperclassmen at
Rams. It was always nice to
see new faces.

UNC-system happenings
Part of a weekly update
on UNC-system schools.
Compiled by senior writer Hayley Fowler.
A&T protests Browns death New UNC-A chancellor named N.C. State merges degrees UNC-P students work at NASA
Around 400 people
attended a peace-
ful protest Monday
at N.C. Agricultural
and Technical State
University over the Aug.
9 shooting death of
18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo.
N.C. A&T sophomore Keyanna Morrow,
who organized the event, said she wanted to
draw attention to the injustice surrounding
Browns death.
Brown was unarmed when he was shot
multiple times by Officer Darren Wilson
during what was allegedly a robbery. Several
N.C. A&T students spoke during the event in
support of Brown.
Many attendees wore all black and held
signs protesting the Ferguson police forces
actions. Officers have struggled to contain
violent protests in the streets of the St. Louis
suburb since Browns death.
The Missouri National Guard is being
deployed to Ferguson to help contain the
riots, state Gov. Jay Nixon said in a state-
ment Monday.
UNC-Asheville
appointed its seventh
chancellor on Aug. 1.
Mary K. Grant, president
of the Massachusetts
College of Liberal Arts,
will start Jan. 5.
Grant succeeds former Chancellor Anne
Ponder, who announced her retirement in
January.
Grant will become one of five female
chancellors in the UNC system, among them
UNC-CH Chancellor Carol Folt.
Other female system leaders include
N.C. Central University Chancellor Debra
Saunders-White and Appalachian State
University Chancellor Sheri Noren Everts
both of whom were installed and named,
respectively, earlier this year.
In a statement, system President Tom
Ross praised Grants 25 years of experience
as a university leader.
(She brings) a solid reputation as an
energetic and creative problem solver and
a passionate belief in the enduring value of
liberal arts education, Ross said.
Five N.C. State
University foreign lan-
guage bachelors degrees
will soon be consolidat-
ed into a single new pro-
gram, foreign language
and literature.
The UNC-system Board of Governors
approved the consolidation earlier this
month. The move will affect students look-
ing to major in German studies, French
and Spanish language and literature and
French and Spanish language and litera-
ture teacher education.
Students enrolled in these programs will
be able to finish their degrees under the cur-
rent structure.
The desire to be more efficient motivated
the decision, said Ruth Gross, head of the
foreign languages and literature department,
in an email.
By merging into one major with concen-
trations, we not only reduce the number of
majors at N.C. State something that the
administration has been striving to do but
we also become more flexible as a unit.
Four students and
one professor from
UNC-Pembroke, a
group known as the
Weightless Lumbees,
attended NASAs
Reduced Gravity
Education Flight program in July.
Rachel Smith, a chemistry professor,
and team leader and recent graduate Molly
Musselwhite joined three students at the
Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, to
conduct research on the effect of weightless-
ness on human biological processes.
Smith said they conducted their experi-
ments in the Weightless Wonder, an airplane
that simulates two times the gravitational pull
on its way up and zero gravity on its way down.
The flight lasts 30 seconds, and the group
repeated it 30 times for the experiment.
Musselwhite said their group was the
last to experience the program because its
been discontinued.
Being weightless is indescribable, she
said. The experience was definitely life
changing.

The town of Chapel Hill
is expanding its Rosemary
Imagined project to include
all of downtown, including
Franklin Street.
Part of the Chapel Hill
2020 plan, Downtown
Imagined aims to unify and
improve the downtown area.
We were working off of
the draft master plan called
the Downtown Development
Framework and Action Plan,
which came out in 2010
and looked at the entire
downtown area, said Meg
McGurk, executive director
of the Chapel Hill Downtown
Partnership.
Rosemary Street resident
Michael Parker said his street
has been neglected for too long.
What I want to see is for
Rosemary Street to come to
life as a vibrant commercial,
living, playing area, Parker
said.
McGurk said the expan-
sion from Rosemary Street to
the rest of downtown was the
plan from the beginning.
We started with focusing
on Rosemary Street to get
the communitys input and
ideas, and now we have kind
of pulled back the scope to
encompass the rest of the
downtown, she said.
McGurk said having com-
munity involvement since the
beginning led to creative ideas.
What I would like to see
is for Rosemary to be a vital,
good looking area where peo-
ple are walking, where people
are transacting business,
where people live, Parker
said. Make it into a vibrant,
thriving area.
McGurk said the town is
looking for student involve-
ment in the planning process.
We would really like stu-
dent input, and we would
be really happy to come to
student organizational meet-
ings or hold a special session
for students, she said. Its
an incredible opportunity for
students to be involved with
the community process.
Linda Convissor, director
of local relations at UNC, said
the downtown area is very
important to campus.
With all of the student
housing being built around
downtown, I think that is
going to have a significant
impact on the downtown we
see in the next several years,
Convissor said. A healthy and
vibrant downtown is what
helps us have a healthy and
vibrant campus.
McGurk said the final
plan will be presented to the
Chapel Hill Town Council
later this year and should be
up for adoption early next
year. But Parker said imple-
mentation is everything.
The plan is only as suc-
cessful as it is implemented,
he said. Its nice to have a
plan, but if its not imple-
mented, then its not really
useful, so the important thing
now is to make sure that there
are mechanisms put in place
so that things move forward.
Parker said that though
students might not see the
work they put in come to life
during their time at UNC,
their ideas would leave a
legacy for future students.
Downtown is and
should continue to be a
place where students are
and want to be, he said.
The best way to make that
happen is for todays stu-
dents to make their views
known so that tomorrows
students will have a place
where they want to be.

Workshop
opens consent
dialogue
By Jane Wester
Assistant University Editor
Week of Welcome just got
a little more serious.
As students wander
between Week of Welcome
events to learn directions to
classes, attend interest meet-
ings for clubs and find end-
less options for free food, they
can now also examine their
understanding of consent
sexual and otherwise on a
college campus.
Omega Phi Beta Sorority,
Inc. will sponsor From
Blurred Lines to the Green
Light: Exploring Consent in
the Student Union Wednesday
night.
Carla Salas, programming
director for Omega Phi Beta,
said she hopes participants
will learn what consent is,
when its necessary and how
to ask for it.
The purpose at the end
of the program would be to
have a better understand-
ing of consent and be more
comfortable talking about
consent, she said. On a
college campus specifically,
but pretty much anywhere
as well, consent is not some-
thing thats always talked
about.
If students are encour-
aged to talk about consent,
Salas hopes they will see
consent as an important
conversation instead of a
mood-killer.
Kelli Raker, the sororitys
adviser and a student violence
prevention coordinator for
Student Wellness, said in an
email that she wants students
to see consent as commu-
nication. Raker also works
with One Act, which, unlike
Wednesdays event, addresses
consent from a bystanders
point of view.
CONSENT EVENT
Time: 6:30 p.m. Wednesday
Location: FPG Student
Union Room 3205
Info: bit.ly/UwW8rt
Salas said her sorority was
inspired by UNC alumna Ariel
Eures work with the Sadie
Nash Leadership Project,
a program for high school
women in New York City. Eure
designed a consent workshop
for project participants after
realizing they rarely encoun-
tered the topic otherwise.
If they had sexual educa-
tion at all in their schools,
consent was definitely not the
key that was talked about,
Eure said.
Eure said becoming com-
fortable discussing consent is
important in all areas of col-
lege students lives.
When youre going out
on Franklin Street, when
youre in class, when youre
in your dorm room whats
consent then? she said.
To ask for consent for
something, to give consent
for something I think
everyone could benefit from
it, whether youve grown
up talking about consent or
whether this is the first time
youve ever had a conversa-
tion about the topic, she
said.
Eure also saw a need for
the workshop based on her
own experiences.
She suggested the idea
to Omega Phi Beta, which
decided to adapt it for UNC
students.
I went to school not under-
standing consent, she said.
I think what was really
frustrating ... that things
that were happening to me,
around me, and I didnt have
that understanding of what
that was and why it was
important.

PACE Academy will need
its parents and students to be
as invested as PACEs Board
of Directors in keeping the
school open for the foresee-
able future.
Principal Rhonda Franklin
said the school will continue
to prioritize the varying needs
of individual students but will
also have to focus on organi-
zation and meeting academic
benchmarks.
That will start with the first
board meeting of the year on
Thursday at 6 p.m.
A lot of it revolves around
improving academics and
what we can do to grow as a
school, with the overall men-
tality of being proactive ver-
sus reactive, Franklin said.
PACE is a charter school
in Carrboro serving students
who do not perform well in a
normal school setting because
of issues with concentration,
cognition, socializing or other
problems.
The State Board of
Education declined to
renew the schools charter
in February but changed its
decision in June, provided
PACE meets certain stan-
dards and guidelines in the
next three years before the
next charter renewal cycle.
Joel Medley, director of the
Office of Charter Schools, said
PACEs issues were three-fold.

Those looking to get per-
mits for their businesses
or homes should have an
easier time after a renovated
Development Services Desk
opened at Chapel Hill Town
Hall Aug. 11.
In the past, the process
for obtaining permits and
inspections for residents and
business owners has been a
long one.
Before, it used to be that
the departments were split up
in different places, and there
was a challenge for people
who were trying to get their
business open or to get a new
building finished, Chapel Hill
Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt
said. They had a lot of run-
ning around to do.
When the first floor of the
Town Hall was damaged by
floodwater in the summer
of 2013, the town had the
opportunity to redesign, so
they combined the permit
and inspections divisions.
Its a one-stop destina-
tion that brings people from
different parts of our town
organization together so
they can be more efficient,
Kleinschmidt said.
Aaron Nelson, CEO of the
Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber
of Commerce, said many busi-
nesses working with the cham-
ber had trouble with the old
system, and the chamber was
happy to hear about the newly
consolidated desk.
This community is very
excited at the possibility of a
one-stop shop, he said. We
think it will be well received,
and we look forward to hear-
The charter schools
board will launch a
new strategic plan.
Divisions for permits
and inspections have
joined in a new desk.
PACE works on compliance issues
Chapel Hill improves
development services
ing feedback.
The Development Services
Desk will provide a central
portal for all development
application submissions.
It will take care of permits,
inspections, plan review and
code enforcement.
There will also be a rev-
enue office so that people can
pay for permits and taxes.
Phil Mason, co-manager of
Development Services, said
combining the permit and
inspections divisions should
make the process easier for
everyone.
Were always interested in
doing things more efficiently,
he said. Were always looking
to do improvements to our
development review process,
and its something that we
assess on a continual basis.
The components of the
Development Services Desk
are grouped within the
Planning and Sustainability
Department, which also
includes long-range planning
and transportation divisions.

Were going to request a more active role
from the parents...
Rhonda Franklin,
PACE Academy principal
The first thing is legal
compliance, he said. The
second is performance, and
the third is financial integrity.
The final thing is academic
excellence. When my office
looked at the information we
had, we noted deficiencies in
those areas.
Medley said the board
must improve its oversight,
including being more trans-
parent for parents and stu-
dents, meeting monthly with
an attorney present, electing
a treasurer and secretary, and
keeping regular minutes and
thorough financial records.
These requirements are
listed in a settlement agree-
ment between PACE and the
Board of Education, which
stipulates that PACE must
also consistently provide the
North Carolina Department
of Public Instruction with
details from its board meet-
ings in order to keep its char-
ter in three years.
Franklin said PACEs
board participated in a
retreat on Aug. 8, during
which board members brain-
stormed ideas for improve-
ment in various areas. One
of those areas is testing
accountability.
As far as inside changes,
were going to start the school
year out with pre-assessments
of the students in the areas of
English, writing and math, as
well as overall career assess-
ments to get an idea of what
they plan on doing once they
graduate, she said.
Franklin also said the
board would gather student
input on incentives that
would encourage students
to show up on standard-
ized testing days. In the
past, PACE has not met the
requirement that 95 percent
of students take standard-
ized tests.
We have plans for the
beginning of the year already
if students have good
attendance for 30 days, we
will sponsor a trip to the state
fair, she said.
Other changes the board
discussed include notify-
ing parents automatically of
student absences via email,
applying for grants to add
new vocational programs
for students and encourag-
ing parents to attend board
meetings.
PACE will host its par-
ent orientation night on
Wednesday at 6 p.m.
Were going to request
a more active role from the
parents, like participating in
fundraisers and taking a more
active role in the students
learning, Franklin said.
Members of the PACE
Board of Directors did not
respond to repeated calls for
comment over several days.

Nelson said he also has

RELI 123 / JWST 100 Introduction to Jewish Studies
This course explores some of the key topics that are characteristic of Jewish studies
as an academic field: the Hebrew Bible; the formation of rabbinical Judaism;
Christian-Jewish relations throughout the ages; Judaism in the Medieval World;

Its sure to be bloodthirsty.
Thats what the directors
and producers at student
theater group Company
Carolina say about their
upcoming fall season. After
putting on shows like Legally
Blonde and Youre A Good
Man, Charlie Brown last
year, the group is going in a
slightly different direction
this year with productions of
Little Shop of Horrors and
Dracula.
Its very much a creepy
vibe, said McKenzie Millican,
one of Company Carolinas
associate producer and the
producer of Dracula.
Producing publicity direc-
tor Catherine Clark attributed
the trend to the applications
the organization received dur-
ing the selection process for
the season, which consisted of
directors submitting applica-
tions for the shows they desired
to produce and describing the
fresh perspective theyd bring.
There is an application
process for every semester, so
anyone is welcome to submit,
but were really excited to be
working with them, espe-
cially because applications
are sometimes few and far in
between, Clark said.
We dont usually do themed
seasons, but we definitely think
in terms of marketing, it will be
an easy way to keep everything
together keep Company
Carolina in students minds.
One of the selected direc-
tors is sophomore Jesse
McGuire, a Company Carolina
newcomer, a self-described
vampire lover and the student
heading up Dracula.
Were going to revamp
Dracula and take it out of
this cliche, old story about
some dude with fangs, she
said. Were going to make it
classy again. Its going to be
fang-tastic.
In addition to the shift
into the ghoulish, Company
Carolina is also working on
developing technical theater
workshops to draw students
to the production process.
Obviously, were interested
in actors, but anyone inter-
ested in any aspect of design
or building or tech, were
willing to teach, Millican
said. We want to get new
faces involved were really
excited about that.
Clark said Millican
approached her and produc-
ing artistic director Duri Long
about the project earlier in
the year and thought the idea
would benefit the company.
Its McKenzies idea, so
were just in the beginning
stages of figuring it out, but a
lot of times, we get students
who are interested in theater
and dont know where to
start, she said.
The workshops will teach
students more about the
world of technical theater,
including lighting, sound,
set design and set building.
While the workshops will take
the Company Carolina name,
they will also be open to stu-
dents outside of the theater
group in an effort to increase
involvement in the shows.
McGuire said the new tone
and the open-arms attitude are
good changes for the company.
Company Carolina is real-
ly pushing themselves, which
is the goal of theater to
always try new things and see
how it works, she said. And
Company Carolina is jumping
in with both feet.

Doug Largent Trio stays
close to home with concert
By Kelly Cook
Staff Writer
With jazz, its all about the
atmosphere.
And tonight, the scene will
be set at Carrboros Looking
Glass Cafe. The Doug
Largent Trio will give guests
a combination of music and
casual sophistication at the
coffee shop.
Largent, the organist for
the group, and guitarist Brad
Maiani formed the trio, a
small ensemble specializing
in reinventing jazz standards
from the 1950s and 60s into
a unique and personal sound.
They play with a rotating
drummer tonights will be
Tyler Leak.
The Trio has also taken
inspiration from organist
Big John Patton, whose song
Soul Woman is both a group
and crowd favorite.
Largent said his personal
career has introduced him
to myriad jazz musicians
and taken him from North
Carolina to New York City
and back again.
He said that today he tries
constantly to develop his
craft and further his love of
the genre.
I really like the sound of
(jazz), he said.
You can listen to any-
thing deeply and hear the
texture of the instruments.
Especially with the organ,
theres just so much going
on with the sound of it, you
never get bored.
Carolyn Griggs, owner and
performance organizer at
Looking Glass Cafe, said she
booked the trio after being
approached by Maiani about
the cafes weekly jazz and
game night.
We love to have differ-
ent events in the evenings.
We have such a nice outdoor
space that is well-suited for
jazz in the garden, she said.
Personally, I know the
quality of their music and
know how wonderful it is, so
I am very excited for some
good jazz.
Looking Glass Cafe, a
Carrboro staple, prides itself
both on its fair trade organic
coffees and its friendly, wel-
coming atmosphere.
The trio likewise hold a
coveted spot in the areas
social and music scene as
graduates from UNC and cur-
rent North Carolina residents.
Its something nice to go
out into your community and
hang out in a local spot and
listen to really good quality
music, Griggs said.
(The trio) seem like they
just have such a good time
jamming out together, so it
makes it really entertaining.
Largent said he shares
Griggs excitement for the
Carrboro event and plans
on creating a set list of an
assortment of jazz favorites.
He also wants to add in less-
er-known material the group
discovered on records from
