SHE WONT TOLERATE IT

Latinos
protest
Hagans
policy
Sen. Hagans stance
on immigration has upset
many Latino residents.
By Elizabeth Matulis
Staff Writer

get a building permit within the next two weeks so

construction can begin on the community house.
Randy Best and Jan Broughton, members of the
Ethical Humanist Society of the Triangle, said their
organization donates to the efforts of the IFC.
Weve been strong supporters of the shelter
for a long time, Broughton said. It will be more
of a home facility for these men.

After Sen. Kay Hagan recently

spoke out against using executive action to stop deportations,
immigrant groups are reaching
out to inform voters of her stance
on immigration.
Immigrant youth, parents
and supporters came together
Thursday in Durham as part of a
rally and press conference to protest her views. The conference took
place in front of a new billboard
criticizing Hagans policies toward
the immigrant community.
The billboard was written in
Spanish and funded by Latino
families in the community.
Elisa Benitez, an organizer for
immigrant advocacy group North
Carolina DREAM Team, said the
purpose of the billboard campaign
was to advise the community about
Hagans immigration stance.
Benitez said Hagans actions were
disappointing because she is liberal.
Hagan is a Democrat, Benitez
said. She is the one who is supposed to be on our side.
The billboard includes the line
La Senadora Hagan no es amiga
de los inmigrantes, which translates to Sen. Hagan is no friend
of immigrants. But the sign does
not provide information on the
viewpoint of her opponent, N.C.
Speaker of the House Thom Tillis.
Ismael Rodriguez, a Latino immigrant living in Durham, was unaware
of Tillis stance on immigration, but
knew of Hagans voting record.
He noted that in 2006 Hagan
voted against providing drivers
licenses to undocumented immigrants in the N.C. General Assembly,
and in 2010 she was one of the
few Democrats to vote against the
DREAM Act.
How (would you feel) without
a license, without a Social Security
card, without opportunities?
Rodriguez said.
The press conference attracted
a diverse population, including
Durham resident Davi Cheshire,
who came to support a friend.
People working just as hard as me
and who are just as smart as me
are denied the same rights as me
because I was born here, she said.
She said she was familiar with
Hagans policies, but said she did not
know Tillis views on immigration.
But things need to change,
Cheshire said.
Durham resident Alma Perez said
her parents immigrated to the U.S.
when she was 2 years old. She said
she was frustrated by the fact that
after going to school, working hard
and reaching her junior year of high
school when most students think
about applying to college she had
to worry about affording tuition.
I want to fight for equality. What
(Hagan) is doing is not fair, she said.
She needs to be held accountable.
Another Durham resident,
Amayrani Calvario, was similarly
frustrated when she was applying to college. She wanted to go
into the medical field but said her
dream has been crushed because
she cannot get licensed professionally in North Carolina because of
her immigration status.
She said she also wanted to
apply to UNC, but knew she
couldnt afford the out-of-state
tuition that undocumented students must pay.
Its not fair for President Obama
to give us something and for
(Hagan) to take it away, she said.
Rodriguez said some of Hagans
policies are positive, but they do
not support the Latino community.
In other areas, Hagan is making
good things and supports schools
and teachers but she does not
support Latinos, Rodriguez said.

Chancellor Carol Folt promised to give disciplinary action to nine employees upon receiving the Wainstein report. The University will not release their names.

Faculty, athletic counselors facing disciplinary action

By Jane Wester
Assistant University Editor

Before students could even

digest the Wainstein report,
Chancellor Carol Folt made a
promise nine UNC employees
will face disciplinary action.
Were being described by a set
of actions that took place in our
history, but Im not going to accept
that, Folt said.
The 136-page report
the
product of former federal prosecutor Kenneth Wainsteins eightmonth long investigation had
enough evidence to warrant at
least four terminations.
The University refused to release
the names of the nine employees,
but a person familiar with the matter confirmed eight of the nine
names of people implicated in the
report who are facing disciplinary
action at UNC-CH.
We take privacy issues very seriously and have worked diligently to

ensure the rights of individuals are

protected during this process. We
will not comment at this time about
the status of individuals whose
employment could be or has been
impacted as a result of the investigation, said Rick White, associate
vice chancellor for communications
and public affairs, in a statement.
Folt said employees can appeal
disciplinary processes, with rules
varying for different types of
employees. Disciplinary actions for
those not terminated will vary, but
even an employee facing termination has the right to appeal.
My hope is that we can get
to the (disciplinary) actions very
quickly, Folt said.
Most people implicated in the
report which found that employees in the Department of African and
Afro-American Studies were creating
bogus classes to keep student-athletes eligible to play had already
left the University, Folt said. She
emphasized how much progress the

University had already made since

2011.
I dont feel I necessarily inherited a culture, she said. I think
Im very fortunate to be part of
creating a culture.
She said communication among
leaders is crucial to the Universitys
culture now, leaving behind the
siloed leadership structure that
allowed the malfeasance of Julius
Nyangoro the former chairman
of the Department of African and
Afro-American Studies and one
of the puppet-masters in the fake
classes scheme to go undetected
for so long.
We just dont have tolerance for
that anymore, Folt said.

Four faculty members named

Four faculty members implicated in the report are facing disciplinary action.
The Board of Trustees gives all
faculty members 14 days to appeal

a personnel action and requires

the employees case to be heard
by a faculty hearings committee.
Chancellor Folt would make the
ultimate decision.
Dramatic art professor Bobbi
Owen is the only person facing
disciplinary action who has tenure.
Owen was senior associate dean
for undergraduate education in the
College of Arts and Sciences from
2005 to 2014.
According to Wainsteins report,
she asked Nyangoro to cut back the
volume of his independent studies.
Despite being aware of issues, Owen
apparently did not mention them to
anybody above her in the administration, the report said.
Jan Boxill, a master lecturer
of philosophy who studies sports
ethics, served as chairwoman of
the faculty from 2011 to 2014 after
spending years as the womens basketball academic counselor.

Hagan urges students to head to polls

The senator campaigned at UNC as
early voting began this week.
By Michael Liguori
Staff Writer

Democratic Sen. Kay Hagans appearance at

Gerrard Hall on Thursday was greeted by more
than 150 student supporters, reporters and a
man in a duck costume.
Hagan encouraged students to head to the polls
as early voting began statewide Thursday, particularly because of the new voting law, which ended
same-day registration and out-of-precinct voting.
And while most students in attendance supported her campaign, one did not.
Standing outside the building with a sign
that read, Why is Kay Hagan ducking the truth
about her stimulus paydays? was a man in a
duck costume. He would not give his name, but

said he represents the N.C. GOP Duck.

Its sort of a fun way for volunteers to represent their political views without harassing
anybody, he said. What the duck focuses on
is Kay Hagans record of attendance in certain
things like the Oct. 21 debate.
Hagan focused on the student loans crisis during
her speech, asking the audience how many of them
had debt from loans nearly everyone, including
the professional reporters, raised their hands.
What Im focused on, obviously being in the
U.S. Senate, is having a mechanism so that students can refinance those loans, she said.
The total amount of student debt in the U.S.
stands at $1.2 trillion. She said the states constitution claims higher education should be as free as
possible, but with an average debt of $23,893 per
student in the state, this is not reality.
Wilson Parker, president of UNC Young
Democrats and director of state and external affairs
for UNC Student Government, said the group was

excited to have Hagan speak on campus.

Parker said her opponent, N.C. Speaker of the
House Thom Tillis, has supported $500 million
in cuts to the states education budget including
tens of millions of dollars from the UNC system.
Sen. Hagan has a long record, both at the
federal level and when she was working in appropriations at the state level, of fighting for quality,
affordable education, he said.
Senior Nat Glynn said he supports Hagan for
her consistent backing of education because its
been a big issue for his hometown of Newton.
He also said foreign policy, specifically the
Islamic State and the Ebola outbreak, were
important issues for him.
I dont believe Tillis is able to conduct
foreign policy, Glynn said. Kay has six years
of experience in the Senate, which is a bigger
stage for foreign policy.

New homeless shelter wont open until summer

The completion date was delayed
due to construction setbacks.
By Kerry Lengyel
Staff Writer

The Inter-Faith Council for Social Service is

behind schedule for construction on its new State
Employees Credit Union Community House.
The community house, located at 1315 Martin
Luther King Jr. Blvd., will offer a transitional
housing program to help men who are homeless
recover and become productive members of the
community.
The project was set to be completed in early
spring of 2015 but is now being pushed back
until summer of 2015.
John Dorward, the executive director of the
IFC, said the project has taken longer to start
because construction costs have gone up.
We all have worked on it on a daily basis until
we got it back down where the budget is doable,
he said during the IFC annual meeting Thursday.
The new shelter will have 52 transitional beds
and 17 emergency beds used for inclement weather.

The town of Chapel Hill owns the current

shelter located on the corner of Rosemary and
North Columbia streets. Town officials havent
decided what to do with the building yet, but
the IFCs community kitchen will continue to
operate there.
Dorward said the capital campaign for the project raised $5.76 million over three and a half years.
The largest donor was the State Employees
Credit Union, which contributed $1 million to
the campaign, he said.
It was beginning to look like we were gonna
have a hard time getting there, he said. But
we got to the final number thanks to a generous
donation from CT Wilson Construction who has
lowered their profit margin slightly.
Dorward said the IFC had to change general
contractors to CT Wilson Construction after the
previous contractor backed out.
Rebecca McCulloh, whose last day as IFC
president was Thursday, said that by the next
annual meeting the shelter should be finished.
The dream will be a reality, she said. Thats
a miracle.
Construction of the building will take approximately 10 months to complete. The IFC expects to

DAILY
DOSE

Rob Ford, without all the crack

From staff and wire reports

oronto, Canada, is quickly winning the title of City with the

Weirdest Mayors. But this time, Rob Ford has been upstaged
by porn star Nikki Benz, a would-have-been mayoral candidate whose Wednesday parody video pokes fun at her failed
May campaign and features her wooing the elderly voting bloc by flirting
and sharing rather lewd campaign speeches with a local grandfather. She
might not have Fords crack experience (a must-have for every Toronto
mayors platform), but Benz definitely has the political goods it takes to
win the mayoral race at least, according to the creepy old geezer who
endorses her in the video. Too bad the adult film actress was denied a
space on the May ballot due to her expired Ontario drivers license. Shes a
candidate who would have had no problem with social media outreach.

NOTED. A bear found perusing the aisles

of an Oregon drugstore is getting sent
straight to rehab but not the kind of
rehab youre all thinking.
The black bear cub, which was probably just searching for a snack as he
scoured the local Rite-Aid, was adorably scooped into a shopping basket by
police officers and will be released into
the wild next year.

QUOTED. It seems a strong message

needs to be sent out to anyone who seeks
to adopt the same tactics in the future.
Judge Paul Thomas, warning potential scammers not to use the same scheme
as Alan Knight, 47, a British man who
faked a coma and other medical ailments
to avoid being charged with fraud. Well
remember that the next time we fake a
coma to get out of our midterms.

Kelsey Weekman found and fed
a wild squirrel as part of The
Daily Tar Heels Bucket List for
UNC students. She documented
her experience here:
If you told me when I woke
up this morning that Id be
adding squirrel advocate to
my resume, I dont think Id
believe you. But here I am.

Dont call me a hero; Im

just a simple woman answering the call of duty to feed a
squirrel on campus.
The first stage of my mission was to find a morsel in
the barren wasteland that is
my post-Fall Break cabinet.
Would squirrels be interested in seasonal frosted cookies,
raw cookie dough or bagels?
I settled on the latter because

I dearly care about the calorie

intake of that tiny, helpless
creature. And because those
other things are mine.
So where them squirrels at?

ONE ARABIAN NIGHT

IN THE UNION

Rural
revamp
of bus
system
The new program
expands service to
rural Orange County.
By Meg Garner
Staff Writer

involved with the YMCA with father-son

and father-daughter events, Veggian said.
Sometimes we will do stream cleanups, things like that events of the environmental nature.
Senior and club president Eric Dean
hopes more people will become interested
in the club.
We do have a handful of members, but
a lot of people dont know about our club.
Dean said.
Sixty-six members are on the clubs
active roster, he said.
The club often holds educational events
including lectures from fishing professionals and UNC faculty. Renowned kayak
fisherman Bob Dainton spoke to the
group Thursday in Hamilton Hall.
Having Dainton speak was for more
than just having a fishing aficionados perspective. Its also about hearing the business side of fishing, Veggian said.
Hes very well known. Hes an excellent
speaker because hes also a teacher, he
said. I want them to see the organization
and business aspect of kayak fishing.
Sophomore Aleks Sandifer enjoyed learning new kayak fishing tips from Dainton.
Its basically a different form of fishing
that you wouldnt get normally from fishing off the bank. It gives you the opportunity to get to deeper places, Sandifer said.
From what he was describing it seems
more fun and hands on because of the
variation of what you can fish for, what
you can fish with and where you can fish.

Eco-friendly Orange
County just got a little
greener after commissioners approved a five-year bus
expansion program to begin
in early spring.
The program, which
was approved at Tuesdays
Orange County Board of
Commissioners meeting, will
offer residents in rural parts
of the county additional bus
services.
Bret Martin, transportation
planner for Orange Public
Transportation, said the commissioners endorsement has
set the programs next step
into action.
Now that the commissioners have endorsed it, were moving forward with the implementation, Martin said. That
will involve marketing, more
detailed service design such as
the exact stop locations, timing
and scheduling.
In addition to providing
more shuttles to senior centers in the county, boosting
the Hillsborough Circulator
Bus and providing more rides
between Hillsborough and
Chapel Hill, the program
will offer new fixed routes
throughout Orange County,
except in the areas already
covered by Chapel Hill
Transit.
Another major portion of
the program will comprise
supplementing Triangle
Transits midday service on
U.S. 70 between Mebane,
Efland and Hillsborough.
The program is expected
to cost the county about $1.1
million over the next five
years.
Martin said the programs
costs would be covered by the
half-cent transit sales tax that
went into effect in the county
in April 2013. The tax was
designed to give money to
the $1.4 billion light rail system, with additional revenue
going to Chapel Hill Transit,
Triangle Transit and Orange
Public Transportation.
It was decided a couple of
years ago that OPT would get
12 percent of that revenue,
Martin said. That revenue is
there, but were just not using
it yet.
In addition to tax revenues,
the programs expenses will
be funded through various
federal grants.
Commissioner Earl McKee,
who lives in rural Orange
County, said the new bus service is important because it is
finally giving back to an underserved area of the county.
Expansion of service is the
most important thing, McKee
said. Weve got a fairly significant number of people
that are underserved, either
because of a lack of dependable transportation of their
own or a lack of the service
thats available.
Commissioner Penny Rich
said she believes the programs success hinges on how
well the county can educate
rural community members
about what the new system
has to offer.
We had a lot of public input
through public meetings, and
folks that are really interested
in public bus service came,
Rich said.
However, its the other
folks that we need to get to.
Its the people who dont think
theyre interested, so you
really need to try and dig into
the community.
Rich said although the program might have some bumps
along the way, she is excited
to see yet another way Orange
County can cut back on its
environmental impact.
I am really happy about
this, because any time we can
get people out of their cars and
onto public transportation is
not only always good for the
environment, but also good
for folks who need extra help
sometimes.

The Persian Cultural Society dance team performs at 1,001 Nights, an event hosted by the society Thursday allowing students to explore Middle Eastern culture.

UNC Persian Cultural Society hosts Middle Eastern celebration

By Rebecca Brickner
Staff Writer

It took 1,001 nights for a fabled

Persian king to tell stories to his
wife, but UNC students only one to
get more acquainted with Middle
Eastern culture.
The UNC Persian Cultural Society
hosted an event called 1,001 Nights
on Thursday night in celebration
of Middle Eastern culture. The
showcase took place in the Great
Hall of the Frank Porter Graham
Student Union and featured the
Afghan Student Association, Turkish
Student Association and Students
for Justice in Palestine.
Hilda Tajalli, co-president of the
Persian Cultural Society, likened the
event to a FallFest for Middle Eastern
student organizations.
Because many of the Middle

Eastern organizations are so small

on campus, we want people to have
the chance to be exposed to them,
she said.
About 150 people explored
the booths lining the Great Hall.
Traditional clothing, books and
other cultural objects were on display alongside a variety of foods,
including Afghan green tea and
dolmeh stuffed grape leaves
provided by the society.
The society held the first and most
recent 1,001 Nights expo in 2012.
Afghan Student Association
member Medina Sadat, a first-generation American who has deep ties
to her Afghan heritage, said UNC
students often get an inaccurate
image of Afghanistan.
The countries represented here
are some of the most misunderstood by Americans, Sadat said. I

hope this event can show a different side that many people dont get
to see.
Layla Quran, president of Students
for Justice in Palestine, said the goal
was to make Middle Eastern culture
accessible to the public in a friendly,
welcoming environment.
The average UNC student
doesnt hear about countries like
Palestine on a daily basis, she said.
Freshman Lana Abutabanja appreciated the way the event incorporated
a lot of different aspects of the cultures
of the countries represented.
The performers showed a lot of
passion for their culture, she said.
The mix of modern and classical
elements was very interesting.
Sociology Ph.D. candidate Ali
Kadivar opened the event with a
performance of the classical Persian
folk song, The Dialogue of Shams

and Rumi. He was followed by a traditional bandari dance performed by

six members of the Persian Cultural
Society, as well as a modern take
on a dabke dance performed by six
members of Students for Justice in
Palestine.
The 1,001 Nights event was free to
attend. It was paid for by the Persian
studies program as well as a benefit
night held at Kipos Greek Taverna on
Franklin Street.
Tajalli said she hopes attendees
left with an enriched perspective of
the Middle East and perhaps even
an interest in joining these organizations or studying the region in the
classroom.
Its important to consider the
cultures that go into the melting pot
that is America, she said.

UNC system to
weigh SATs role
in admissions
A Board of Governors
committee approved
a pilot program.
By Sarah Brown
State & National Editor

A Board of Governors committee on Thursday approved a

pilot program for three UNCsystem schools that would put
less emphasis on SAT scores in
university admissions.
Elizabeth City State
University, Fayetteville State
University and North Carolina
Central University are part of
the pilot, which would launch
in fall 2015.
Karrie Dixon, vice president for academic and student
success, said that General
Administration staff studied
more than 80,000 UNC-system
student records and determined
that high school GPA was a better predictor of college success
than SAT scores which mirrors national research results.
A large number of colleges
and universities nationwide
around 900, Dixon estimated
have moved away from SAT
requirements, either going SAT
optional or telling prospective
students SAT scores wont be
a major factor in admissions
decisions. Critics have argued
that standardized tests disadvantage low-income students
who cant afford test preparation materials or courses.
The minimum admissions
requirements for all UNCsystem schools, approved in
2011, are a 2.5 high school grade
point average and a combined
score of 800 on the reading and
math sections of the SAT.
The pilot would implement
a sliding scale, where students
with an SAT score of 790
could be admitted as long as
they had at least a 2.6 GPA,

and a student with a 750 SAT

would need a 3.0 GPA.
J. Craig Souza, chairman of
the educational planning, policies and programs committee,
said he supports the pilot. The
change is not a direct effort
to increase enrollment on the
campuses, he said.
What were going to trade is
a little lower SATs for substantially higher grade point average to help some of the kids
who dont come from wealthy
school districts, he said.
The program would include
increased academic support
for these students, including
tutoring and counseling.
Board member Joan Perry
said she thought there would be
additional costs associated with
the extra academic advising.
The expanded tutoring could
be seen as remedial education
that should be completed at the
community college level, said
board member Steven Long.
Long said a pilot program
might not be necessary.
I dont know really what the
ultimate aim is, he said. Is it
trying to go to an SAT optional
policy, or what? If thats the
end, lets just cut to the quick.
The pilot will be limited to
100 students per campus each
year and last three years.
Alex Parker, president of the
UNC-system Association of
Student Governments, said the
student body presidents at the
three campuses told him their
universities would benefit a
great deal from the change.
They kind of sold me on
the program, he said.
Still, Long said hed like
to see more North Carolina
students go through the states
community college system as a
path to a degree.
To me, this is going in the
wrong direction.

Speaker Bob Dainton shares tips with the Carolina Fishing Club for its 11th anniversary.

Fishing club prepares for

its faceo against Duke
The club prides itself on doing
more than just fishing.
By Sofia Edelman
Staff Writer

The Carolina Fishing Club is seeking

to reel in a victory Saturday against Duke,
but its more than just competition that
lures students into the organization.
For the competition, which takes place
every semester, the two schools will catch as
many bass as possible and donate the proceeds to a charity of the winners choosing.
But the club also serves as a place for
students to make a positive impact in the
community, be part of a close-knit group of
student fishers, and have fun, said English
professor and club adviser Henry Veggian.
(Its) not only about fishing, but the
environment, wildlife, biology, traveling,
competitive fishing, as well as the simple art
of fishing, said Veggian, who has advised
the club since 2007. Its a low-intensity,
high-reward club, and thats why weve been
successful for as long as we have.
Senior Kenan Courtney said his favorite
part of the club is the community aspect.
Ive been in the fishing club since I was
a freshman, and Im a senior now, and
fishing has always been a family tradition.
Courtney said. Being in the fishing club,
Ive found that same sense of community.
Veggian said the pastime can help community members beyond UNC, too.
Even the fishing has a dual purpose,
so to speak. Over the years, weve been

WAINSTEIN

FROM PAGE 1

Deborah Crowder, a secretary in the African and AfroAmerican studies department and the creator of
paper classes, colluded with
Boxill to fabricate grades to
ensure athletes could play
and subsequently graduate.
Boxill had an extensive
understanding of the paper
classes in which students
had no attendance requirement and had to turn in one
paper that would be leniently graded by Crowder
and Crowders management
of them, according to the
report. Boxill told investigators she thought Nyangoro
did participate in the classes
in some way.
Tim McMillan and
Alphonse Mutima are lec-

turers in the Department of

African, African American
and Diaspora Studies.
Wainsteins report found
that McMillan was close to
Crowder and did not report
numerous red flags from his
interactions with her.
Crowder had created
paper classes and designated
McMillan as a professor,
according to the report. At
least seven times, McMillan
signed the grade sheets for the
bogus classes, the report said.
I dont know why (my signature) is there, but it is there,
McMillan told Wainstein and
his team, the report said.
McMillan refused in-person requests for comment.
Mutima did not share
McMillans close relationship
with Crowder, but he apparently did have some knowledge of the paper classes,

according to the report.

Mutimas involvement
in the scheme was born in
frustration. According to the
report, he was annoyed by
student-athletes apathy in his
Swahili classes and blamed
Crowder for putting the players in his classes.
Faced with the choice of
having a disruptive studentathlete in his class or offloading the behavior problem
to Crowders paper class
Mutima occasionally opted
for the latter, the report said.
During a forum
Wednesday, students from
the recently renamed African,
African American and
Diaspora studies department
looked to Folt for support of
their major.
I did already ask (Provost
Jim Dean) to step in and
work with the African,

The Daily Tar Heel

African American and

Diaspora studies department, Folt said Thursday.

Administrative assistant
Travis Gore assisted
Crowder before her retirement
in 2009, and he took on more
responsibilities after she left.
In the report, Gore said he
understood the nature of paper
classes but unlike Crowder
he never graded papers.
In one suspicious email
exchange reviewed by investigators, Boxill told Gore
she felt a player deserved
an A- or at least a B+ on a
paper. The student eventually
received an A- for the class.
When we pressed Gore
about this exchange, he
denied having assigned the Ahimself, but suggested that he
may well have passed Boxills

suggestion on to Nyangoro,
who was the instructor of
record for that paper class,
the report said.

Athletic counselors
Two employees of the
Academic Support Program
for Student-Athletes are
facing disciplinary action
academic counselor Jaimie
Lee and associate director
Brent Blanton.
Lee was aware of every
irregular aspect of these
paper classes, according to
the Wainstein report.
The report said Lee and
former football counselors
Beth Bridger and Cynthia
Reynolds emailed athletes to
urge them to turn in papers
for Crowder, a non-faculty
member, to grade.
Debbie Crowder is retir-

ing if you would prefer

that she read and grade your

Nyangoro, you will need to
have the paper completed
before the last day of classes,
the email read.
At the time, Blanton was
the womens soccer counselor,
and he knew his players would
travel extensively to play on
national soccer teams. Along
with Coach Anson Dorrance,
he encouraged recruits to
come to UNC and used the
easy paper classes as bait.
Blanton told investigators
he did not know Crowder ran
paper classes without faculty
interaction. But the report said
Blanton was aware of paper
classes and directed some of
his players toward them.
The bogus classes spanned
1993 through 2011
and during that time the
Academic Support Program
for Student-Athletes reported
to the College of Arts and
Sciences.
In an interview Thursday,
Folt said the University
has already spent $5 million to restructure its
advising services to ensure
student-athletes receive
the support they need. The
Academic Support Program
for Student-Athletes now
reports to the Office of the
Provost, a move Folt said
was the first of its kind in
the country.

Department of Athletics
One employee in the athletic department is facing
disciplinary action. As the
associate athletic director
for football operations under
former football coach Butch
Davis, Corey Holliday was
aware of the paper classes
but thought they were similar to independent studies in
any department, according
to the report.
Holliday told investigators
he knew the paper classes
were easy and said players
likely enrolled in the classes
to balance their schedules, the
report said.
He never heard that they
were used specifically to
keep players eligible, the
report said.

North Carolina field hockey coach Karen Shelton became the head coach of the Tar Heels while she was still a player in 1981. Five years later in 1986, she led the team to its first Final Four.

Karen Shelton has national honors as both a eld hockey player and coach
By Danielle Herman
Senior Writer

When Karen Shelton accepted the head

field hockey coach position at North Carolina
in 1981, she was still a player.
And not just any player she was one of
the best in the United States.
Sheltons first three years at UNC overlapped with her time spent with the U.S.
National Team, which she played on from
1977 to 1984.
During that time, Shelton started for the
U.S. team that won bronze at the 1984 Los
Angeles Olympics an unexpected feat.
In 1983, she was the U.S. Field Hockeys
Athlete of the Year. And that same year on
top of it all and in the crux of her 20s she
brought UNC to its first NCAA tournament
appearance.
I had a name in the sport by being on the
national team, so I think it was a great asset
to come into this program and have that credibility to start off, she said. Not necessarily as
a coach, but as a player.
Shelton set an example of excellence for her
team. She was playing at the highest standard,
and she expected the same out of her players.
She was strict with them, but they were up to
the challenge, as their early successes showed.
Now, Shelton cant be as active on the field
with her team. But she has experience, and

she said she is more understanding of the

players. Her coaching style has evolved, but
her standard of excellence is the same.
And it shows.

In love with the game

Shelton grew up in the middle of four
brothers and two sisters, and she tagged
along with her brothers whenever they
played sports, no matter what they were
playing football, kickball, baseball, dodgeball.
I got my athleticism and kind of tomboy mentality from hanging with the boys,
Shelton said.
Shelton started playing field hockey when
a friend asked her to try out in seventh
grade, the first year she could participate in
organized sports.
I just fell in love with the game, she said.
And I was naturally good at it because of my
brothers, and so I just kept playing and stuck
with it.
Her talent and hard work brought her
to West Chester State, now West Chester
University, in West Chester, Pennsylvania,
where she was on three national championship field hockey teams and one national
championship womens lacrosse team.
And she shone individually, recognized as
the national field hockey player of the year

three times a unique achievement unrivaled

in the sport.
Its still a surprise to me how it happened.
I think that I did stand out as an athlete, she
said. Because I had long hair, and I was kind
of fast and quick, and I could read the game
well, so I would have these moments, and I
was just noticeable.
But Shelton didnt always want to be noticed.
You know what was challenging, was
back in those days, I was almost embarrassed to be an athlete. I naturally would be
in the back, she said.
I didnt want to score the goals, because
I wanted other people to score the goals. I
just wanted to step back and be the one to
assist other people instead of being the one
scoring the goal. And I do think there was a
stigma of being a really strong female athlete at the time.

Quite a legacy
Shelton said she hadnt initially planned to
take the head coaching position at UNC.
She spent one year as an assistant coach
at Franklin & Marshall College and was
interviewing for an assistant position at
Northwestern University, which she had serious interest in.
But after colleagues in the field convinced
her to do so, she drove down and scrimmaged

with the North Carolina team. She was

amazed at the facilities and could see herself
building a program here.
I think that was a great turning point in
my life, because I decided to travel down here
to have a look at Carolina, she said. And like
most people, I just fell in love as soon as I
stepped on the campus.
Kathy Krannebitter, now an assistant
womens lacrosse coach at Swarthmore College
and former head field hockey coach at West
Chester University, coached with Shelton for
three years at UNC.
Krannebitter said Shelton brought energy
and passion to the team and truly wanted to
build the program, which she did and did
quickly.
Karen was a great recruiter. She was very
persuasive, she said. She quickly picked up a
couple key players, and then the program just
went nuts.
Shelton said that when she came here, UNC
was successful in North Carolina, but it had
not yet broken out onto the national scene.
In 1983, the team went to the NCAA tournament for the first time. By the end of 1986,
Shelton had brought the team to its first
Final Four.
UNC is currently ranked No. 1 in the nation,
and history backs up the teams success.

WOMENS SOCCER: NORTH CAROLINA 1, FLORIDA STATE 1

Its a tie between 2 of

the nations best teams

North Carolina and

Florida State tied in
double overtime 1-1.
By Ben Salkeld
Staff Writer

No team had ever won

four matches in a row
against North Carolina
womens soccer program
before Florida State did it in
the 2013 season.
On Thursday night, the
No. 5 Tar Heels (10-2-2,
7-0-1 ACC) held the No.
2 Seminoles (14-1-1, 7-0-1
ACC) to a 1-1 tie after double
overtime, preventing them
from extending that streak
to five straight.
That tie doesnt hurt us,
coach Anson Dorrance said.
In fact, I think its indicative
of our progress this year that
we can play a superb team
like Florida State more or
less dead even.
The Tar Heels entered the
game with a nine- game win
streak and had won all seven
ACC matchups. The only
team in the top 25 with a better win streak was FSU, who
had won 10 straight.
UNC started the game

out slowly, tallying just three

shots and failing to find the
net in the first half for the
first time in six games.
Instead, UNC gave up a
goal to the Seminoles in the
32nd minute off of a wellplaced header from Icelandic
senior Dagny Brynjarsdottir
her 10th score of the season.
(Brynjarsdottir) is one of
the best players thats ever
played in the ACC, Dorrance
said. That kid had one sniff
and she finished it.
The Tar Heels have a different weapon their bench.
In the 63rd minute,
freshman midfielder Annie
Kingman evened up the score
with a shot on the ground
across the goalmouth and
into the far corner of the net.
She and the two players
who assisted her entered the
game just 29 seconds earlier.
Its good to see a freshman
like Annie Kingman step up
and score such an important
goal, Dorrance said. If you
look at her progress from
the first week she got here in
August to where she is now,
shes improved dramatically
throughout the season.
Florida State remains the
only other team besides UNC
still unbeaten in the ACC. Its

elite players and calculated

game plan have made it a
constant nemesis for UNC.
The Tar Heels were only
the second ACC team to
score on the Seminoles in
seven conference games.
The whole game was a
physical battle, Kingman
said. It was tough to win in
the air so we really had to try
to find the seams between
them, and they were well
organized so it was hard.
Defender Satara Murray
and the rest of the senior class
have not beaten the Seminoles
since their freshman year.
To tie them tonight
Its a huge weight off of our
shoulders, Murray said. Its
not a loss. Its not a win, but
anything is better than a loss.
Dorrance echoed that sentiment, and said he was satisfied by his formidable defense
and the rest of the teams ability to meet the challenge.
Im incredibly proud of
the kids because if youd seen
us in August, it wasnt that
much of a team, he said.
But now I think were
gonna give anyone a good
game just like we gave
Florida State today.

UNCs depth pays o again

The womens soccer
team played 10 subs
Thursday night.
By Jeremy Vernon
Staff Writer

Against Notre Dame, it was

Kat Nigro. Against Pittsburgh,
it was Emily Bruder.
During the course of the
season, the No. 5 North
Carolina womens soccer team
has received remarkable help
from its bench players, who
have tallied 12 of the teams
23 goals on the year.
Thursday was no different,
as freshman substitute Annie
Kingman converted a scoring

chance in the 63rd minute of

UNCs (10-2-2, 7-0-1 ACC) 1-1
tie against No. 2 Florida State
(14-1-1, 7-0-1 ACC).
Kingman fired a left-footed
strike into the bottom right
corner of the net after receiving a pass from sophomore
Sarah Ashley Firstenburg,
who played a give-and-go
with junior Summer Green
outside the Florida State box.
Firstenburg and Green
were subbed in alongside
Kingman 29 seconds before
the freshman knotted the
score at one a piece. This
instant offense has been the
key for UNC, which is currently undefeated in ACC play.
All of us who dont start
the game, we talk about really

coming on and making a difference, said Kingman, who

scored her second goal of the
season in the tie.
Part of the reason we sub
so much and rotate players
through is to drive at them
and go hard at them all game
and wear them out. We just
try to raise the level a little bit.
And its not just the same
players who have contributed
off of the pine each game.
Green, a regular starter for
UNC, opened Thursdays game
on the sidelines. Once she and
a handful of other players took
the field, a new energy and
charisma took over, something
that Green said the team has

SHELTON

FROM PAGE 5

Under Sheltons leadership, UNC has racked up

six national championships,
nine NCAA second-place
finishes and 31 winning seasons. The team has won the
ACC title 18 times and is one
of the Universitys most successful athletic programs.
Shelton said she was
stricter when she first started
coaching than she is today,
perhaps because she was so
close to the game.
I think Ive come to
understand them a little bit
more, Shelton said. Im
older. I dont want to say mellow, because Im not mellow,

but Im not as strict.

Theres more of an
understanding that kids do
make mistakes, theyre not
bad people, and theyre trying so I guess its just a
better perspective.
But junior midfielder
Emily Wold, who is a member of the national team in
addition to UNCs team, said
she doesnt think Shelton is
too strict.
I guess some might think
the strictness can be an issue
because they dont approve,
she said. But I think a coach
at such a high level, at such a
top program, at a university,
needs to be strict.
They are the coach of it,
and they know whats best,

so they deserve to set the

rules and standards for us as
players.
Wold said Shelton has
always been supportive of
her training.
Ive had a great relationship with Coach Shelton
as a player, especially her
support toward me being
on the national team and on
the UNC field hockey team,
because shes been all for
whatever I wanted to do as a
player, Wold said.
Wold said she thinks
Sheltons own experience
with coaching and being
on the national team helps
her better understand her
situation. But Wold said she
doesnt know much about

her coachs past.

I know she has a pretty
impactful history, but we
dont actually know really
much about it, which is probably bad, she said.
Krannebitter said when
her team played against
Shelton and UNC, she was
always struck by the players
confidence.
They knew that if they
could follow their game
plan, they were going
to come out successful,
Krannebitter said. That has
stayed through with Karens
teams from the start.
Thats quite a legacy to
leave a program.

If we had left out our

Students declare candidacy for congress

Student Congress will
fill 18 vacant seats
with a special election.
By Eric Surber
Staff Writer

Students running for

18 vacant seats in Student
Congress can start collecting
signatures at 5 p.m. today.
About 50 students met
Thursday evening in the
George Watts Hill Alumni
Center to learn about the election process and declare their
candidacy. Candidates will
now have one week to earn a
place on the ballot by collecting 20 different signatures.
Earlier this semester,
Student Congress reported 19
vacant seats, but representatives said Thursday that there
is only one off-campus representative vacancy bringing
the total number to 18.

Maurice Grier, a freshman

who declared candidacy for
District 4, said election rules
might make it hard to collect
enough names.
The biggest challenge will
be getting signatures from
people I dont know already,
Grier said.
Rules set by Student
Congress dictate that candidates cant approach groups
of 15 or more people or collect signatures in classrooms,
libraries, recreation centers
or dining halls. Students
signing petitions can only
sign for one candidate.
After obtaining enough
signatures, candidates will
campaign on a budget of
$15 during the first week in
November.
Board of Elections chairman Alex Piasecki said the
campaigning wont be as
prevalent as during the general election.
You wont see it as much

here in special elections

because your campaigning
only reaches your district,
Piasecki said. Mainly word of
mouth and speaking to peers.
Students will vote Nov. 7 for
their district representatives
on the Unions Student Life
website. The 18 vacant positions cover seven districts, and
12 of the vacancies are from
graduate student districts.
They might feel like we
arent inviting them, said
Brad Dunnagan, the Ethics
Committee chairman.
Because its predominantly undergrads in leadership right now. In fact, the
last two ethics chairs were
grad students.
Piasecki said several
graduate students have
already expressed interest in
running for the special election, and he is hopeful this
election will fill the vacancies. He also said the special
election is an opportunity to

prepare for the campus-wide

spring election.
We do this election, we
learn from this election
and we implement it in our
spring election, Piasecki
said. Thats our big election.
Thats when there will be a lot
of campaigning, disputes and
close races.
Students who did not
attend Thursdays interest
meeting are not eligible to run
on the ballot, but students
can still be elected through a
write-in campaign.
On election day, (voters) write in your name,
Dunnagan said. Ive known a
few people that have done it.
Student Congress also
manages the voting process for UNC Homecoming
Court, so both congressional
and Mr. and Ms. UNC candidates will appear on the
Nov. 7 ballot.

Abuse survivors turn to crafting

By Drew Goins
Senior Writer

For some survivors of

domestic and sexual violence,
all it takes to help heal is a
collage canvas, a string of
beads or a palette of paint.
This healing is what the
staff of the Orange County
Rape Crisis Center hopes to
do with the centers art therapy workshop this Sunday,
a one-time support group
meeting designed to help sexual violence survivors develop
tools for self-care.
Weve had an overwhelming response for the workshop,
especially in the past week,
Bethany Wichman-Buescher,
the centers programs director,
said in an email.
She said Sundays program
will employ artistic mediums
that will be easily accessible
to participants. She said she
wants people who attend the
workshop to be able to express
positivity about their journey to
healing without any barriers.
The center has been using
art therapy for more than 10
years, Wichman-Buescher said.
Last year, the center served
more than 100 people with 20
groups and workshops.
Art is a great tool for
trauma survivors dealing
with their past, WichmanBuescher said.
The way that trauma
is stored in our brains and
bodies can make it difficult
to make sense of, let alone
verbalize, she said. Arts and
crafts have been found to be
an effective mode of expression and processing.
The rape crisis center isnt
the only area organization
that offers art therapy to
local residents.

The N.C. Art Therapy

Institute is a Carrboro-based
nonprofit that offers trainings
and workshops to professionals, as well as art therapy for
groups and individuals.
The institutes specifically
trained art therapists are some
of the best resources for participants, executive director
Kristin Linton said.
Trained art therapists
can help trauma survivors by
helping them navigate and
share their stories, she said in
an email. Often things come
up in the art-making process
that the therapist is trained to
work with, and the therapist
can create a safe space for this
process to unfold.
The University is also
involved in offering art therapy.
ArtHeels is a student-led organization that aims to bring art

into health care settings to help

patients and survivors.
Individuals who have
experienced some sort of
trauma tend to try to forget
their experience, ArtHeels
president Sara Miles said in an
email. Art can serve as a platform to express oneself and
the traumatic experience (one)
endured without actually having to tell anyone anything.
Wichman-Buescher said
she hopes program participants are able to take what
they learned back into their
own lives after the workshop.
It is our hope that the
workshop will alleviate feelings of isolation and that
participants will take home
tools to help in their healing journey, she said.

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR

Flipped
classes
need
scrutiny

Wainstein editorial
was tone-deaf

NEXT

ne of the hardest
undergraduate courses
in the computer science department is Computer
Science 530: Operating Systems.
Its a flipped class. We worked
in groups of four on absurdly
difficult worksheets, watching
video lectures and doing projects outside class. Besides the
professors philosophical opposition to posting answers to these
worksheets (ever), it was a wellexecuted course and likely the
best way to learn the low-level
workings of complex machinery.
I cannot, however, imagine
taking three to five sections
of Operating Systems in a
semester. Imagine organic
chemistry, except computers.
I dont expect all flipped
classes to be like Operating
Systems, but if we are looking
forward to a university where
even 30 percent of classes are
flipped, then about 76 percent of students are going to
have at least one semester in
which they take three or more
flipped classes. The research
doesnt say what happens
then. The University ought
to proceed with caution on
this model, expanding on the
existing research.
Despite claims to the contrary, the research is incomplete in universities, flipped
classes have only been tested
in the context of single courses.
According to both UNC lecturer Kelly Hogan and Student
Body President Andrew Powell,
two of the biggest advocates
of flipped classrooms at UNC,
they were not aware of any
study that measured students
performance in, say, three or
four flipped classes, or whether
performance in other classes
were affected by the time spent
on the flipped class.
While Hogan had surveyed
her Biology 101 students on
how much time they spent on
schoolwork outside of class,
she doubted most other professors asked these questions.
In fact, I could find only one
system that tested multiple
flipped classes: Clintondale
High School in Michigan. The
results were favorable, but
Biology 101 is harder than the
typical Advanced Placement
biology class.
Flipped classrooms are
a good idea, but good ideas
imposed on wider systems
can have unexpected consequences. Im all for using
technology to engage students,
but the buzz shouldnt prevent
incisive questioning of the
model. No Child Left Behind
also sounded great, just as the
10-day drop period must have
to the Board of Governors.
Such innovation is great
for the Chancellors national
op-eds. Back at Dartmouth,
Folt also wanted to eliminate
grades for freshmen.
Im as willing to jump on the
innovation bandwagon as the
next guy, but I want to know a
few things. Am I looking forward
to a semester of three sections of
Computer Science 530, which
took as much time as a graduate course? How much time will
that take, compared to now?
What if a flipped Chemistry 101
section is taught by an apathetic
postdoc who no longer has to
prepare a lecture, rather than a
passionate teacher experimenting with new methods?
I want to know a lot of
things about flipped classes.
Performance in individual
courses is only one of them.

FEATURED ONLINE READER COMMENT

EDITORIAL

Listen up, BOG

Allowing a student
vote would be a
good start.

ere at UNC,
the decision
by the Board
of Governors to cap
the amount of money
that could be used from
student tuition toward
need-based aid provoked
hours of debate, careful
consideration and close
attention from this paper.
But at yesterdays BOG
meeting, the issue was
given mere minutes of
tossed-off attention.
There is a disconnect
between the issues that
matter to students and
those that consume the
attention of the members
of the Board of Governors.
BOG members, while
well-meaning, are too
far removed from student voices to make fully
informed decisions. There
is a vital need for greater
student representation in
their ranks.
To ameliorate this problem, the student representative of the Association
of Student Governments
should be promoted from
an ex-officio member to
full membership, and the
board should consider
giving ex-officio spaces
to representatives of each
school in the UNC system.
Barring this, the BOG

should actively solicit

a wide array of student
voices when making decisions so crucial to the
quality of their education.
The variety of interests
represented among the
states campuses cannot be
sufficiently represented by
one non-voting member.
The boards members
have ties to the Chapel
Hill campus in overwhelming numbers. And
with the states historically black institutions in
particular in danger of
cuts, it seems unfair that
not one voting member of
the Board attended a historically black school, in or
out of North Carolina.
The BOGs decisions
on need-based aid did not
mark the first time they
have fenced decisions in
with little regard for student voices.
Infamously, in August
2013, the BOG unanimously voted to ban
gender-neutral housing
despite overwhelming
support for its creation by
student groups and countless hours of work and
advocacy from passionate,
driven students.
Similarly, the BOG
instituted a policy that
drastically cut the dropadd period for students
from eight weeks to ten
days without consideration of different needs for
different campuses and

without the input of UNC

administrators and students with strong reservations about the change.
These decisions are
emblematic of an unacceptable disregard for student engagement.
The student absence
from the voting body of
the Board of Governors
can largely be explained by
the necessity that voting
members be able to take
the long view. Students,
who are usually in and out
of the University within
four years, might not have
the perspective or institutional know-how to effectively act in the systems
best interests.
But this fact has been
used against students to
pigeonhole their demands
with the hope that those
movements will die down
once the group spearheading them graduates. At
any rate, the risks detailed
above are not sufficient to
deny students at least one
voting representative whose
vote, alongside the 32 nonstudent votes, would not
compromise the boards
ability to govern.
The speak-out organized by the N.C. Student
Power Union tomorrow
for 8 a.m. at the Spangler
Building will be an excellent opportunity for
students to display their
dissatisfaction with the
status quo.

EDITORIAL

The leader we needed

Chancellor Folts
response this week
is refreshing.

fter years of vague

cover-ups and
administrators
ignoring the problems
that existed in the former
Department of African and
Afro-American Studies,
Chancellor Carol Folts
quick and decisive response
to the Wainstein report this
week is refreshing.
Before releasing the
report to the general public,
Folt had already decided to
take disciplinary action
which she said will include
termination for some
against nine employees.
The evidence against
current employees, especially former faculty
chairwoman Jan Boxill, is
incriminating. Anything
less than a promise to take
swift action against the
dozens of faculty members
who failed to report the
bogus paper class scheme
to the proper authorities
would have been pathetic.
Along with the reports
release, the University

launched its new public

records website publicrecords.unc.edu which
has a live list that shows
when a public records
request is submitted, who
submitted the request, a
description of the request
and how long the request
will take to fill it.
This website will make
sure watchdogs can keep
a closer eye on the goingson at the University and,
ideally, have the ability to
raise red flags about suspicious activity much earlier.
If we learned anything
from Kenneth Wainsteins
exhaustive report, its that
leaders on campus must
face stricter scrutiny. The
true test, then, will be
whether the chancellor
can follow through on her
promises to ensure every
faculty and staff member
is reviewed annually.
The fact that Julius
Nyangoro, the chairman
of the African and AfroAmerican studies department, was never reviewed
in the almost 20 years he
worked for the University is
completely unacceptable.
In light of Nyangoros

flagrant abuse of power,

the University must
remain committed to
ensuring there is a clear,
open process for review.
Even the style of the
release of the report
deserves merit. It wasnt
released, like reports of
years past, during a break.
Students were given 48
hours notice of its release,
and Folt scheduled press
conferences separate
from her forums with
students and faculty.
Later on Wednesday, Folt
even hosted meetings
for student-athletes and
football players to air their
concerns with the findings
of the report.
This means the message, as ugly and hard as it
was to hear, wasnt buried.
Students and faculty could
deal with the ensuing
embarrassment together
and rejoice in the ways
UNC has already begun
taking corrective action.
In times of trouble,
students look as they
should for leaders. Folt
has proven herself to be
a capable support system
for students.

TO THE EDITOR:
Yesterdays editorial on
the Wainstein Report was
well-intentioned but missed
the mark and unfortunately
set back the conversation
regarding athletics and academics on this campus.
In order to build a
larger argument, the editorial singled out student
athletes and insinuated
academic inferiority. We
do not believe this reflects
the true views of the editorial board. But this underlying narrative cannot go
unchecked.
The editorial stated that
for better or for worse, student-athletes are not like
most students, especially
those competing in mens
basketball and football.
The line was referring to
the unique and significant
demands of athletics at an
elite university. But such a
focus on student-athletes
unique circumstances
ignores the diversity elsewhere on campus.
Think about the unique
circumstances of those
students who dedicate their
time to performing and
visual arts. Think about the
unique circumstances of
those students who dedicate their time to political
campaigns or student government. What about the
unique circumstances of
those writing and editing
the many articles here in
this paper?
Our differences are what
make us Carolina students,
and we must not define our
peers based on their extracurricular activities.
Many students at Carolina
are not like most students
because there is no category
of most students.
But when we try to
single out student-athletes
for their unique circumstances and then write
about the pretense that
student-athletes admitted on the basis of their
athletic abilities must perform in the classroom at
the same pace as (other)
students, it perpetuates
false and hurtful stereotypes that as a community
we cannot continue.
There are athletes at
UNC at every level of the
academic spectrum. There
are non-athletes at UNC at
every level of the academic
spectrum. We must support
every student at Carolina
in their personal, unique
circumstance and not paint
a broad stroke over any
group on campus.
Let us all remember
in our personal conversations, in our own conception of campus, and in
our writing that generalizations, stereotypes and
falsehoods set us back and
do nothing to move our
campus forward.
