MENS BASKETBALL: NORTH CAROLINA 67, HARVARD 65

A CLOSE CALL WITH CRIMSON

In the rst round


of NCAA, UNC
beats Harvard
By Aaron Dodson
Senior Writer

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Just a little too far left.


Thats how the ball ricocheted off the rim on the
front end of a one-and-one with 12 seconds left in
the North Carolina mens basketball teams (25-11,
11-7 ACC) gut-wrenching 67-65 win against No. 13
seed Harvard (22-8, 11-3 Ivy League) on Thursday.
With the fourth-seeded Tar Heels clinging onto
their eventual game-winning two-point lead,
Kennedy Meeks had a chance to make it a twopossession game.
Before he toed the line, Coach Roy Williams
rose from his seat on the UNC bench and delivered two punishing claps directed at his 6-foot-9
sophomore forward. On the court, junior J.P.
Tokoto calmly delivered some words of advice.
Just focus, Tokoto told him. Yeah, he missed
the free throw, but I know hes capable of knocking those down. If he had it again, Id guarantee
Id put money on it that he would make it.
Just a little too far left.
I mean, I thought it was good, said Meeks
after the game. It left my hand good. But I guess
God had another plan for us.
That seemed to be the case for most of the second
half Thursday night that the basketball gods had

Dining halls will transition to cage-free eggs


Aramark set a goal of using only
cage-free eggs by 2020.
By Ashlen Renner
Staff Writer

Aramark, UNCs dining service provider,


will transition to using cage-free eggs by
2020, according to an announcement made
March 12.
This is something weve been doing oncampus to some extent since 2008, when we
started using cage-free eggs in the dining
halls. So it isnt something new to UNC, said
Brandon Thomas, spokesman for Carolina
Dining Services.
The majority of the eggs in shells, which
are used in bakery goods, already come from
cage-free sources. Thomas said shell eggs
will be completely cage free by the end of
2015. Whole liquid eggs, used in omelets,
will be cage-free during the current spring
semester.
However, some types of liquid eggs might
take a while to be converted to cage free.
This is something we cant do automatically, Thomas said. We rely a lot on the suppliers of the eggs. There is no cage-free liquid
product available from the suppliers, and for
the suppliers to go cage-free, thats something
that could take several years.
In the U.S., the majority of farms with hens

use battery cages, where five to seven hens can


inhabit the same cage at the same time.
Its not a pretty sight, said sophomore and
animal activist Michael Howell.
One of the main issues is that since the
hens are so close together, they tend to peck
each other, and their cages can actually cause
lesions on their legs, he said. And because
they have been genetically engineered to produce more eggs and have more breast to be
made for food, most of the time they cant even
support their own body weight. They spend all
of their lives on their chest and stacked on top
of each other.
Howell represents animal rights as part
of the Discussion Activism and Youth group,
which he created this semester to provide
safe spaces for students of underrepresented
groups to discuss a variety of issues.
Im happy to see that Aramark is recognizing some of these steps forward, and I
hope this opens up a discussion, he said. I
want this to be an opportunity for our community and larger communities to discuss
these issues.
Howell has been working with CDS to offer
more plant-based meal options for students.
Loren Hart, a UNC alumnus, was part of
the movement that led CDS to offer cage-free
egg options in 2008.
We saw that other universities were making the change (to cage-free), so we asked,
Why cant we? he said. Back in 2008, we
thought that UNC could do better, and I felt

ashamed that we were sourcing all of our eggs


from those cruel conditions.
Hart said the transition to cage-free
eggs by Aramark and other companies like
Compass Group, another food service management company, shows a significant shift in

Ocials eye mandatory redshirt


The discussion hinges on
the academic preparedness
of incoming athletes.
By David Doochin
Staff Writer

Marlon Petty is OK taking a year off


from the sport he loves if it means hell
have a smoother transition into college.
The freshman, who is a linebacker
on UNCs football team, is a voluntary
redshirt this year.
I know that as a redshirt freshman,
I had a lot more time on my hands, so
I was able to study and stuff like that
and was able to see what it will be like
when Im playing next year, he said.
Petty said the policy could end up
being helpful for freshmen trying to
balance athletics and academics.
I like people being able to have
choices, but if it were mandatory, I
dont think it would be all too bad,
Petty said. Its a big adjustment coming from high school to college.
The Big Ten Conference is currently
looking to other NCAA conferences
to begin a national discussion about
mandating this year of readiness for
all freshmen athletes, making them
initially ineligible to play.
Though nothings been put to a

vote, its not unprecedented for freshmen athletes to be forced to wait to


play. Before 1972, football and basketball players were ineligible to play during their first year in college.
UNC Athletic Director Bubba
Cunningham said the discussion aims
to keep the best interests of college
athletes in mind.
A number of conferences are talking about the best things we can do to
enhance the educational experience of
students who participate in a sport,
Cunningham said. I think the real
purpose of the (policy idea) is to foster
dialogue about how we deliver a quality educational experience to students
in todays environment.
Joy Renner, chairwoman of the
Faculty Athletics Committee, said the
policy could raise some controversy
because it assumes all freshman athletes
are unprepared for academics in college.
Most student-athletes are appropriately prepared and ready to handle
both the academics and athletics, and
to force them to delay participating in
the sport they have trained and worked
so hard to perfect seems unfair, she
said. For some students, having their
sport and team support is a major
motivator to do well in academics and
can help them with time management
while they adapt to the new freedoms.
Blake Dodge, a freshman track and

field and cross-country runner, is also


a redshirt during her first season at
UNC. Dodge, a reporter for The Daily
Tar Heel, said redshirting isnt always
positive for an athletes morale.
Theres definitely something to be
said about a lack of focus when youre
redshirted, she said. Its harder to
maintain a high energy level and a level
of commitment that coaches expect.
Dodge said one players or one groups
academic unpreparedness shouldnt dictate policies for other athletes.
I think it should be a case-by-case
basis, even among basketball and football players, she said.
The discussion about mandatory
redshirting, Cunningham said, is
meant to address a statistical history
of academic unpreparedness among
certain freshman athletes.
The football and basketball players
demonstrate the least preparedness,
he said.
Cunningham said either way, its
time to reevaluate athletes experiences.
Theres a lot of discussion about
health and safety. Theres discussion
about initial eligibility standards. As I
mentioned, theyre changing. Theres
discussion about time commitments,
he said. In 2015, what does the collegiate experience look like?

Cheating runs in the family

122 years of editorial freedom


JENNY SURANE
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

The Daily Tar Heel

From staff and wire reports

our parents probably always taught you to not cheat on school


exams. Well, some parents in India are taking the opposite
approach to parenting and are actually helping their children
cheat on exams. Students in Bihar, India, showed up to class
for their secondary school examinations. Meanwhile, friends and family of the students were scaling the walls of the school to pass answers to
the students through the windows. Cheating in India is fairly common
with students smuggling in notes and textbooks to exams, and it seems
to be a fairly accepted practice. Police are known to accept bribes to look
the other way and allow parents to continue helping their children cheat.
This is just taking breaking the Honor Code to a whole new level.

NOTED. Diabetes in a meal. A doughnut


shop in California has created a Pop Tart
donut. The new treat, called Big Poppa
Tart Donut, is a two-inch thick donut filled
with strawberry Pop Tart filling and strawberry jam. Pop Tart pieces are sprinkled on
top of the donut, along with sprinkles and
jam. Talk about a sugar headache.

QUOTED. You cannot determine gender


through simple visual observation.

Chapel Hill
confronts
implicit bias
The Justice in Action
Committee is holding
two discussions.
By Kiana Cole
Staff Writer

As a black man living in


the Chapel Hill community,
implicit bias is not a foreign
concept to David Caldwell.
I have recognized and
seen implicit bias all my life
without understanding that
being white immediately
gives you ten more points
than I have, said Caldwell,
a community organizer in
Chapel Hills historically
black Rogers Road neighborhood. Id like to see Chapel
Hill become what it says it is
in the liberal South: first in
freedom. Freedom for who?
Liberal for who?
Chapel Hills Justice in
Action Committee is in the
middle of its two-part series
on implicit bias at the Rogers
Road Community Center.
The first installment of the
series was presented Thursday
by Keith Payne, a UNC psychology professor.
Implicit bias is one of
Paynes main areas of research
and one of the topics he teaches about at UNC.
During the talk, Payne
defined implicit bias as what
happens when we let automatic associations lead to disparate treatment, even when
we intend to be fair.
People have this idea that
prejudice is a thing of the
past because theyre thinking about a very blatant Jim
Crow type of racism, Payne
said. People often fail to
realize that we are all vulnerable to unintended biases
that have big effects in daily
life, even if we are not trying
to discriminate.

Allison De Marco, an
adjunct professor in the
School of Social Work, said
the idea for a town discussion on implicit bias evolved
from community conversation
spurred by the recent events in
Ferguson, Mo.
We have been talking about
how we might better respond
to those kind of events and
provide services that are more
responsive to communities of
color, De Marco said.
De Marco said UNCs
THINKposium in August was
focused on implicit bias and
fueled a continued conversation on the topic.
We were really interested
in taking that beyond the university and into the community, said De Marco.
At the talk on Thursday,
Payne used interactive and
stimulative activities to prove
that implicit bias exists even
when its hard to recognize.
The experience of empathizing and recognizing individual
people is what brings change,
not just the facts, he said.
Payne clarified knowing
and being aware of implicit
bias is not enough putting
anti-biased measures into
practice is what will get the
best results.
The second discussion on
implicit bias will occur on
Tuesday, April 21 at 7 p.m. at
the Rogers Road Community
Center. It will feature a panel
on ways to combat implicit
bias in everyday life.
What is important about
implicit bias is not whats
wrong with the racist people or
the sexist people, Payne said.
Its about how the normal
workings of the human mind
predispose us all to systematic
biases. Only by learning about
implicit bias do we have a
chance to counteract it.

Students gather in Manning Hall on Thursday evening to hear from a panel of speakers who work within the justice system.

Panel: courts too tough on teens


Campus Ys criminal justice
awareness committee
hosted a panel Thursday.
By Tyler Fleming
Staff Writer

In North Carolina, no one can buy a


lottery ticket, watch an R-rated movie
or vote for a lawmaker at 16 but
courts still prosecute many 16-yearolds as adults.
In the North Carolina system, anyone
older than 16 can be tried as an adult in
court. Many of those arrests are of minority adolescents with criminal histories.
For North Carolina to treat 16-yearolds for nonviolent crimes as adults is
horrendous and immoral, said District
Court Judge Marcia Morey.
Morey and four others spoke in
Manning Hall on Thursday night
to discuss the future of the juvenile
court system.
The panel spoke about the disproportionate number of minority
children in the court system and the
ways the community can help fight the

growing problem.
These are the students that society
has given up on, said John Williams,
principal at Phoenix Academy, which is
an alternative high school for students
in need of extra attention.
You dont need to have kids locked
up in a classroom, he said. You just
have to love them.
Kristi Price, a juvenile court counselor, said year-long suspensions take
the problem beyond the classroom.
They are sitting at home, watching TV, no education, doing nothing,
she said.
Jim Woodall, the district attorney
for Orange and Chatham counties, said
a big problem facing the court system
is an inability to decide which cases
need to be deemed a felony.
We work real hard before some of
these people become felons, he said.
Woodall said that due to limited
resources, it is imperative to help as
much as they can but that not every
case is going to be fixable.
Sending children to court can also
have a negative impact on the childs life.
It may not make it into a newspaper,
but it has an impact, Morey said.

Despite the problems, the panel still


believes that with increased training
and education, leaders in the community can fix the juvenile court system.
If the parents cant do it, we need to
fill in the gap, Williams said.
He said this can be done by helping
individuals without trying to fit students into a mold.
One size does not fit all, he said.
What you need to do is find the individuals needs.
Something that stands in the way
of meeting individuals needs is the
unseen biases of teachers and leaders,
Williams said.
Williams gave an example of when
he showed the teacher at his school a
video of the doll test, in which kids are
shown favoring a white doll as the good
doll and labeling the black doll as bad.
I wanted to plant the seed that we
all were those children, he said.
Eric Zogry, a state juvenile defender,
expressed the importance of acknowledging the problem in order to progress.
If you do not own the issue, you
cannot move forward, he said.

Music, athletics and epidemiology join to honor late professor


Dr. Robert Millikan was tied to the
community in a variety of ways.
By Trevor Lenzmeier
Staff Writer

On the surface, it would not seem that the


UNC mens crew team, the epidemiology department and the Chapel Hill Philharmonia have
anything in common. But these three entities are
teaming up this weekend to honor Dr. Robert
Millikan, who bore a passion for all three.
Tonight, the Chapel Hill Philharmonia will
perform the Millikan Symphony, dedicated to
his memory and composed by Robert Millikans
sister, Ann Millikan. The symphony kicks off a
weekend dedicated to Robert Millikan, who died
in October 2012, that also features a symposium
from the epidemiology department and a regatta
hosted by the mens crew team.

Robert Millikan was the Barbara Sorenson


Hulka Distinguished Professor of Cancer
Epidemiology at UNC, served as a faculty
adviser for the mens crew team and conducted cancer research in Ireland as a Fulbright
scholar. According to Ann Millikan, the symphony and surrounding events are an excellent
way for the community to honor her brother.
He had a positive impact on many people,
and I wanted to honor that, from the students
he mentored to his colleagues in the science
field as well as his musician friends, she said.
UNC music professor Donald Oehler said
the rich history surrounding Robert Millikans
involvement with the CHP which Oehler
conducts makes the symphony even sweeter.
Robert Millikan played chamber music with
Jerry and Barbara Hulka, the latter being the
namesake for his professorship. The Hulkas
were founding members of the philharmonia.
The symphony could have been played by

anyone, but I think this is the most appropriate venue, Oehler said. It is community
engagement for the University, and it brings
together people from the medical school, the
science department and the arts department,
which I think is really special.
Born at UNC over three decades ago and
comprised of local volunteer musicians,
the philharmonia is an example of synergy
between the University and the town of
Chapel Hill according to Oehler. For philharmonia president Rosalind Goodwin,
this involvement within the community is
extremely important.
We want them to consider us their community orchestra, and we want them to come to our
free concerts and hear us play on a regular basis,
Goodwin said.
According to his sister, Robert Millikan was
truly a giant in the Chapel Hill community. She
said giving back was always a priority for him

ATTEND THE CONCERT


Time: 7 p.m. tonight
Location: Hill Hall Auditorium, UNC
Info: http://bit.ly/1DDEbfH

even after he found time for rowing, research


and music.
As a sibling, your brother is just your
brother. But after he died, I went to a memorial site for him, and people were leaving comments about his legacy, and I was blown away
at his impact, Ann Millikan said.
So its about celebrating not only him but
bringing the community together in a positive
way to celebrate that sense of community that
Bob believed in.

A truly extraordinary Kiwi

DTH/HENRY GARGAN
Centerfielder Aquilla Mateen currently leads the North Carolina softball team in both hits and stolen bases. Her athleticism helped her on the way to All-ACC honors during her sophomore campaign.

Junior Aquilla Mateen leads the softball team both on and off the diamond

The mechanics
of setting up a
bunt play
1.
Before the pitch, Mateen
sets up to hit like she
would normally to try to
prevent the defense from
anticipating the bunt and
moving in towards her.

2.

By C Jackson Cowart
Staff Writer

Aquilla Mateen sits in the dugout and


stares onto the field, struggling to find
the words to fit her character.
I dont know how to explain myself,
said Mateen, pausing as she attempts the
arduous task.
Her shy disposition often masked
by her confident approach on the field
takes hold, unwilling to deliver self-praise.
She returns a glance to the diamond,
where her speed and aggression speak
for themselves.
I dont have to talk on the field, she
said. I just have to play.
The juniors superb play, leading
the team in hits and stolen bases for a
second straight year, echoes as loud as
the shouts of Kiwi that fill Anderson
Stadium before every Mateen at-bat.
She haunts pitchers with her
renowned speed put on display with
every bunt she lays down and taunts
batters with her obnoxious dugout
chants, looking for any edge to appease
her ultra-competitive spirit.
But as soon as she steps off the field,
the smile fades and the sounds subside.
Its kind of hard to put words on,
said teammate and best friend Jillian
Ferraro. She knows what she wants, she
knows what she wants to say and she
knows who she is.
Even if others dont.

Always been natural

As the pitcher starts


to throw, Mateen
brings the bat around
and begins to move
her body into a
running motion
towards first base.

By the time shes made
contact, Mateen is
already in great
position to utilize her
above-average speed to
get down the line.

DTH/KAITLYN KELLY

Mateen was destined to be a collegiate


athlete.
Born into a family of athletic success her parents are coaches, and
her younger twin brothers are athletes
Mateen excelled from an early age,
playing four different sports and earning
all-state honors in three.
I was just kind of athletic enough to
do whatever I wanted, Mateen said.
Coaches began reaching out to the
budding athlete for softball, basketball
and even track a sport her mother
starred in at Western Carolina.
I tell everybody, She got her speed
from me, but she did not get her softball
skills from me, said Rahma MateenMason, laughing modestly. Even when
she was little, she was fast.
Its always been natural for her.
Mateens speed was legendary in her
home of Siler City, N.C., with opposing coaches and even umpires telling
her they hadnt seen a faster player in
decades.
Its just not all God-given talent, said
Mateen-Mason, who recalls her daughters tireless work ethic. Aquilla works
hard to be able to do what shes doing.
Her work ethic is just ridiculous.
Her mother remembers Mateens early-morning batting practices while her
peers laid in bed, she was laying down

bunts. But as talented and dedicated


as she was, playing in rural Chatham
County limited her national exposure.
Mateen was determined to change
that.
Around the age of 10, thats when she
told me she wanted to play softball in
college, Mateen-Mason said. You dont
hear a lot of kids going to big Division I
schools from where we are.
Despite being raised by North
Carolina faithful, Mateen had her eyes
on another in-state school one that
didnt even field a softball team and
her mother could only guess as to the
reason why.
I think she was rebellious, said
Mateen-Mason with a bittersweet chuckle, disgusted by her daughters former
Duke affection. I tried my best to make
her love Carolina.
Shes never been a follower, and thats
what I love about her.
But Mateens uncle, who played football at UNC, was determined to continue
the family tradition.
He called Coach (Donna) Papa probably three times a week about Aquilla,
Mateen-Mason said. He was the catalyst
to get her there.
During one call, Papa suggested
Mateen attend her annual softball camp
which her uncle gladly paid for to
see if she might fit into the program.
And once there, Mateen didnt disappoint.
It was probably one of the best weekends Ive ever played in my life, she said.
I guess it was just my calling.
Mateen showcased her signature
speed, legging out triples and making
diving catches including one that
caught the eye of the UNC coach.
Playing out from her natural shortstop
position, Mateen chased down an outfield hit and made a spectacular leaping
attempt, coming up just short of the ball.
But the effort was enough.
It was like ESPN, said Papa, who
thought Mateen completed the catch.
That was what really made me turn the
corner on her.
Following the camp, Papa contacted
Coach Rick McHone of the Carolina
Cardinals a youth softball organization she describes as a farm system for
her squad hoping to expose Mateen to
higher-level competition.
At first, Rick said, Well, I really dont
(have a spot), I have enough outfielders,
Papa said. And I said, Really, youre not
gonna be disappointed.
By the end of the summer, Papa remembers receiving a call from none other than
the previously reluctant McHone.
He said to me, Do you have any more
Aquilla Mateens?

Go the extra mile


For Mateen, its never been about her.
Heavily influenced by their own

upbringings, her parents instilled


the importance of giving back from a
young age.
From age four when she could carry
a bag, she was with us delivering food,
Mateen-Mason said. Its just been a
family tradition.
In high school, Mateen was a part
of groups such as the Peer Educating
Peer Squad and Students Against
Destructive Decisions. In college, she
is involved in Something We Athletes
Got and serves as a Carolina CREED
Mentor with the Richard A. Baddour
Carolina Leadership Academy.
If you dont know her, you might
think that everything she does or says is
extraordinary, Mateen-Mason said. But
people who know her and see her every
day (know) she does this all the time.
Thats just Aquilla to us. Thats what
she does.
Mateens leadership qualities manifest
themselves on the field, where her teammates have elected her to serve as captain.
When shes not here, you definitely
miss her presence, Ferraro said. She was
sick for practice maybe two weeks ago,
and multiple girls were saying, I miss
Kiwi, I want Kiwi to be back out here.
Though Mateens individual impact is
profound both on and off the diamond,
she would never admit as much.
Mateen-Mason remembers finding a
medal as she unpacked her daughters
bag last year. It was an award Mateen
had won six months earlier unbeknownst to her mother.
She puts the team over her personal
accolades, Mateen-Mason said. It
doesnt matter how many triples she has
if her teammates dont have any.
Her willingness to sacrifice for others
is symbolically displayed in her eagerness to bunt, always focusing on the
advancement of others.
But in Mateens case, both with volunteering and bunting, its not a sacrifice
at all.
Shes going to go the extra mile for
people she cares about, Ferraro said.
She cares so hard about everything she
puts her time into, whether its softball
or her friends. She would do anything
for me.
Aliyah Grinage who describes her
older cousin as her best friend, sister and
role model sees the same dedication in
Mateen her teammates do.
She would do anything for somebody, Grinage said. Shes just a caring
person, shed do anything to help you
out.
Shes perfect. I dont know how to
explain it.

Just a special kid


Mateen is truly inexplicable.
Whether shes crashing into the out-

field wall to rob a home run


or gunning down a runner
on a seemingly sure double,
she often leaves spectators in
astonishment.
Theres so many balls
that most of us would stand
there and go, Wow, she just
got to that? said Papa of her
centerfielders defense. Some
balls that you see hit, youre
like, Oh boy, thats a gapper.
And then all of the sudden,
here comes Kiwi.
Mateen thrives on confusing her opponents, sensing
weaknesses and generating
unforced errors.
She is a game-changer
type player like a Marcus
Paige on the basketball team,
Ferraro said. Shes making
those plays that other girls
just dont make.
Its these kinds of plays
that earned her All-ACC
honors as a sophomore. But
its her personality a stark
contrast of brash confidence
and reserved silence that
proves most puzzling.
Its hard to describe somebody who can be super, super
different, said Ferraro, who
was initially scared of Mateen.
She has this strong presence
about her, and shes pretty
shy, so she doesnt say much
to you.
Such a closed-off approach
has people convinced of her
standoffish demeanor.
Im not scary, Im really
nice, pleads Mateen with a
charming smile. (But) its
not me to actually try to make
people like me.
But those that push past
the cold facade uncover a
truly irreplaceable soul.
Shes probably the best
person ever, Grinage said.
If anything, you want be her
friend. Thats the friend that
you should have around.
With all that Mateen contributes on the field, in the
community and for her loved
ones, she remains impossible
to define.
Its just hard to say
just one thing about her,
Mateen-Mason said. I dont
even know how to explain it.
Some things you cant put
in words.

DTH/HALLE SINNOTT
Harvard senior forward Wesley Saunders (23) takes his last shot during Thursdays loss to UNC in Jacksonville, Fla. Saunders led the Crimson in scoring with 26 points.

Saunders last-second miss seals win for Tar Heels


By Grace Raynor
Sports Editor

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
Roy Williams laid everything
out so he was 100 percent
sure they understood.
Im telling you guys, I
watched tape, freshman
guard Theo Pinson remembers Williams telling the
North Carolina mens basketball team earlier this week.
The dude can play.
Williams had his eye
on Wesley Saunders, the
Harvard guard who was the
Crimsons only player this
season to boast a doubledigit scoring average. The one
who, before UNCs eventual
67-65 win over the Crimson
Thursday night in the sec-

ond round of the NCAA


Tournament, accounted for
40 percent of Harvards total
offense. The one who became
just the second player in
Harvard history and the first
since 1982 to earn unanimous
All-Ivy League first-team
honors three years in a row.
Thats who Williams
was concerned about. And
on Thursday night, when
Saunders launched what could
have been Harvards gamewinning 3-pointer, the Harvard
sophomore had validated the
Hall of Fame coachs urgent
message to the Tar Heels.
He was a load, and we
knew that, said Williams
of Saunders, who scored a
game-high 26 of Harvards
65 points. J.P. (Tokoto) did

a pretty doggone good job,


but he was really, really hard
to guard.
Tokoto, as one of UNCs
best defenders, is often
tasked with guarding the
opposing teams most dominant player.
Against N.C. State in
Raleigh he was matched up
with Trevor Lacey. When
Duke came to town, Quinn
Cook was his assignment.
And in the ACC Tournament
semifinals against Virginia,
Williams put his junior forward on Malcolm Brogdon.
Saunders Tokoto said
might have been one of the
hardest to guard.
Hes not as quick as many
Ive guarded, but hes crafty
and he makes tough shots.

Hes definitely top five, Tokoto


said. Hes efficient and hes
one of those guys that can
score and looks for his teammates, which I always admire.
When it came down to
the wire, UNC ahead by two
points with two seconds
left, Tokoto knew exactly
who would have the ball.
Everyone did.
Theyre going to
Saunders, Tokoto said. I
tried to deny him the ball,
and he got it, pulled up from
3.
I thought he was going to
try to drive, so I gave him a
little bit of space, I was ready
for it. But he pulled up and
Im a lengthy guy so it wasnt
hard.
And so UNC advances.

Sophomore forward Kennedy


Meeks was nearly speechless
at one point when he struggled to put into words how
dangerous and how talented
Saunders really is. Thats why
the potential-last second shot
still haunted him in a victorious UNC locker room after
the game.
Praying that it wont go
in, he said of his thoughts
when Saunders launched it.
It was a lot of stuff going
through my head: How are
we going to feel in the locker
room if he hits this shot?
How is coach going to react?
Thankful that the shot did
not go in.
We escaped a close one.

Campus leaders: nd
your niche to succeed
By Victoria Mirian
Staff Writer

When an injury last year


ended his playing career,
senior Jarrod James traded
playing on the football field for
working as an assistant coach.
I went from playing beside
my teammates to coaching
them in a matter of weeks,
he said.
Dealing with nerve damage in one of his shoulders
since birth, James is used to
complications.
I had to work a little harder to be like everybody else,
he said.
Making the best of tough situations was a recurring theme
for the six student speakers at
Priceless Gems 2015, hosted by
the First Year Focus Council on
Thursday night.
We wanted to create an
event where mainly first-years,
but really anybody, could come
and listen to stories of peoples
unique Carolina experience,
said McNair Mitchener, a First
Year Focus Council member
who helped organize the event.
James, Meghan Cabell,
Russel VanZomeren, Shauna

Rust, Zack Kaplan and


Channing Mitzell all spoke at
the event.
VanZomeren said he
wouldnt have always considered himself successful. During
a tumultuous first year, he considered transferring.
Much like Ariel from The
Little Mermaid, the Cs would
follow me wherever I went,
he said.
But, after his first interview with Carolina Fever, he
reevaluated his definition of
success.
Success, he found, was
making people smile.
Im content with being
the goofy oddball I grew up
being, he said. In this, I
found my success.
Campus Y co-president Rust
spoke about the value of learning from past experiences.
I cant tell you how many
times Ive applied for things
I havent received, but its
important to keep trying,
she said.
Rust encouraged freshmen
to follow their interests, just
as she followed her passion
for social justice and service.
Once you find your niche

or your thing, stick with it and


see what happens, she said.
Organizers chose
Cheerwine and Vineyard
Vines to sponsor Priceless
Gems. The two companies
and the Carolina Union
Activities Board provided free
refreshments and prizes.
Sophomore Abby Gay is
the campus representative
for Vineyard Vines and the
co-chairwoman of the First
Year Focus Council. Gay said
Vineyard Vines was more
than willing to sponsor the
event after she reached out to
the company.
Council member Katelyn
Buffett said Gay encouraged
her to ask the Cheerwine
campus representative about
sponsorship.
Mitchener said the council wanted to build upon
past years events. He said
Priceless Gems, now in its
third year, started as a small
event. This year, more than
100 people attended.
Its been improving, and
hopefully, its a fun event for
people who come, he said.

A Chapel Hill man charged


with assault with a deadly
weapon inflicting serious
injury might have his charge
elevated when the Orange
County district attorney next
hears the case on March 27.
Larry Adkins Griffin, 64,
currently faces charges of
assault with a deadly weapon
inflicting serious injury, assault
on a female and resisting a
public officer after his wife
was shot multiple times at a
residence on University Station
Road in the early hours of the
morning on March 9.
Tim Horne, an investigator with the Orange County
Sheriff s Office, said Griffins
charge is likely to be elevated
to assault inflicting serious
injury with intent to kill when
he is indicted.
Horne said Griffins wife
is being treated at Duke
University Hospital and is
expected to survive.
With the injuries she
received, they were certainly
life-threatening injuries,
Horne said. Its going to be
a slow recovery a recovery
like that is day by day.
Officers responded to a call
that a woman had been shot
multiple times at approxi-

mately 3:50 a.m.


on March 9.
Deputies were
able to get the victim to safety and render aid,
the release states.
According to court documents, when an Orange
County deputy sheriff
attempted to arrest him,
Griffin reached for his firearm
and fought the deputy when
the deputy attempted to take
the firearm.
The documents also state
that Griffin was committed to the Central Regional
Psychiatric Hospital in
Butner, N.C., on March 13 for
a mental health evaluation.
According to the documents, Griffin had consumed
a lot of alcohol on the night
of the incident and left a last
will and testament at the
scene of the crime.
The documents state that
the court, state and district
attorney believe Griffin is
homicidal and has indicated a
willingness to kill himself.
Horne said that based on
Griffins history, the incident
was not surprising.
Horne declined to elaborate on his comments.

Even if it takes a $2 million


bridge to do it, the town of
Chapel Hill says its committed to improving pedestrian
and bicyclist safety.
The Town Council
has been working with
the Transportation and
Connectivity Advisory Board
to consider new locations for
pedestrian crosswalks, including a potential crosswalk on
Franklin Street, said David
Bonk, transportation planning manager for the town.
What weve seen is that
properly designed and properly
signed, enhanced crosswalks
increase pedestrian safety
significantly were creating
a community where safety is
enhanced, and were encouraging people to walk and bike
more by virtue of the fact that
they feel safer, he said.
The enhanced crosswalks
would increase bicycle and
pedestrian safety, especially
along U.S. 15-501.

and council. A healthy community includes a community


where people can safely walk
from one place to the other.
The types of improved
crosswalks vary, with options
including pedestrian-activated
walks and pedestrian bridges
and tunnels. The pedestrianactivated walks would include
a button, which crossers press
to activate flashing signage,
alerting oncoming motorists.
The pedestrian bridges and
tunnels, presented before the
board by Iona Thomas associate vice president of Stewart
Engineering, which is working
with the town on the project
would cost anywhere from
$625,000 to $2.7 million each,
depending on the length and
location of the development.
The town is considering
three locations on U.S. 15-501
and one along Franklin
Street, according to a staff
memorandum.
Many of these locations
are places where weve gotten
complaints from pedestrians
about the difficulty in crossing were always evaluating
new locations for crosswalks,
based on feedback we get
from the public and our own
observations about pedestrian
safety, Bonk said.
Palmer said the money for
the project would either come
from the U.S. Department of
Transportation or the town,
depending on whether or not
grants are available.
The town and the board
will consider several factors
when deciding where to place
the crosswalks, including traffic patterns, foot traffic and
the presence of bus stops or
shopping centers, also taking into consideration public
input, said UNC junior David
Marsh, a member of the
transportation board.
The people of Chapel Hill
are conscientious of keeping
the town connected and safe
for cyclists and pedestrians
and are hearing the concerns
of the residents to come up
with the best option, he said.

Immigrant strife told in alumus documentary


By Ryan Schocket
Staff Writer

A 1996 UNC graduate and


director, Ted Roach is returning to Chapel Hill Saturday
for an exclusive, free viewing
of his award-winning documentary, 120 Days, at the
Varsity Theatre.
Roach, who took his first
film class at UNC, said he
wants to use his documentary
to share a personal story that
reveals some of the harsh realities immigrant families face.
Youre going to see a side
of the immigration debate
that youve never seen before,
he said.
120 Days follows the life of
Miguel Cortes and his family,
residents of Raleigh who have
been living as undocumented
immigrants for 12 years.
Sponsored by the Carolina
Latina/o Collaborative and the
Southern Documentary Fund,
the event will begin with a

screening of the film followed


by a question and answer session with Roach and Cortes
lawyer, Marty Rosenbluth,
who will answer immigrationrelated legal questions.
The Cortes family story
begins when Miguel Cortes
was charged for driving without a license and arrested. He
was detained and ultimately
told he had four months 120
days before being deported.
Roach said he filmed the
Cortes family with just one
cameraman to avoid intrusion.
The film chronicles Miguel
Cortes crucial decision to face
deportation requiring him
to say goodbye to his wife and
two daughters or to change
his name and flee to another
U.S. city as a fugitive.
The audience is going to
feel like theyre part of the
Cortes family because they
allowed us to be a part of
theirs, Roach said.
The film ignites the immi-

gration debate further, showcasing the controversy of the


287(g) agreement, part of a
federal immigration law that
authorizes local police to act
as enforcers of immigration.
Some critics have lauded
120 Days for humanizing the
experience of immigration and
giving a voice to families who
are sometimes unable to speak
about their struggles.
The film has won several
awards, including best documentary at the Charleston
and Kansas International
Film Festivals. It also
received best social documentary at Cinevision Fest,
among other honors.
This deportation issue is
one that affects students that
attend UNC as well as families across the United States,
said freshman Mayela Peralta.
Students should take an interest in it because children, families and employers are affected
by deportations caused by a

Josmell Perez, coordinator for the CLC, said the
film brings the immigrant
experience to the screen in a
realistic way.
120 Days personalizes
it. It puts it in our backyard,
he said.
Roach said he aims to get
the film on HBO and Netflix
to reach a larger audience and
that at nearly every screening he has had several people
come up to him with some
version of one message:
You have to get this out
there.

Greensboros Lynch waits for a vote


By Michael Liguori
Staff Writer

Despite considerable qualifications and more than 130


days of waiting, U.S. Attorney
General nominee Loretta
Lynch is still unconfirmed by
the U.S. Senate and her supporters want an explanation.
North Carolina Sens.
Richard Burr and Thom Tillis
voted against Lynch in the 12-8
vote by the Senate Judiciary
Committee to confirm her
nomination. Burr and Tillis
have stated their opposition
stems from Lynchs position on
North Carolinas voter ID law.
Lynch, a Greensboro
native, said in a 2014
speech that the N.C. voter
ID requirements which
will be effective in 2016 and
require a government-issued
photo ID at the polls are
an example of a move against
civil rights.
Im proud to tell you that
the Department of Justice has
looked at these laws, looked at
whats happening in the deep
South, in my home state of
North Carolina, has brought

lawsuits against those voting


rights changes that seek to
limit our ability to stand up
and exercise our rights as citizens, she said.
She also lauded the accomplishments of Nelson Mandela
and Martin Luther King Jr. in
resisting oppression.
We stand in this country
at a time when we see people
trying to take back so much
of what Dr. King fought for,
she said.
Tillis said in a statement
that while he respects Lynch,
he cannot support her given
her stances on the voter ID
law which Tillis helped pass
as N.C. speaker of the house
as well as her agreement with
President Barack Obamas use
of executive action during his
presidency.
Lynch is the current U.S.
Attorney for the Eastern
District of New York and has
undergraduate and law degrees
from Harvard University
and if confirmed, shell be the
first black woman to serve as
attorney general.
Lynchs supporters have
said she is qualified for the job,

while her detractors, including


a long list of Republican lawmakers, have resisted her confirmation due to her support
for Obamas executive actions
including a move to address
illegal immigration last fall.
Lynchs race and gender
have also been brought up during the nomination process. On
Tuesday a group from the N.C.
NAACP, which included the
Rev. William Barber, head of
the states chapter, and Moore
County chapter president
OLinda Gillis, spoke to Tillis
and Burr to express disapproval of their committee votes.
The group shared their
concerns that there could be
race- or gender-based reasons
for why Lynchs confirmation
was being resisted.
While we remain concerned with Ms. Lynchs stated
desire to lead the Department
of Justice in the same manner
as Eric Holder and will not be
supporting her nomination,
we are grateful that the group
came to Washington to talk
about this issue and exchange
ideas, Burr said in a statement
on Tuesday.

Loretta
Lynch is a
Greensboro
native and the
presidents
U.S. Attorney
General
nominee.

something else in store for


UNC. All signs pointed to an
early trip home.
The Tar Heels took a
16-point lead with 15:20 left
in the game. Then came the
Crimson. Then came the play
that everyone wants to forget.
The one that will be hard to
watch on game film come
Friday.
With 1:15 left in the contest,
junior Harvard point guard
Siyani Chambers launched a
3-pointer from the top of the
key. Foul. And-one with the
ensuing made free throw. Just
like that Harvard had its first
lead of the game, 65-63.
Here we go again, sophomore forward Isaiah Hicks says
he and his teammates tried not

to think.
Bad things will happen,
Hicks said. Just know, its not
gonna be easy. Dont nobody
wanna go home. So its like a
fight to the end type of thing.
UNC fought to the end on
the games last three possessions after Chambers miracle
heave. Freshman wing Justin
Jackson immediately buried
his trademark floater to tie
the game at 65-65.
A Harvard miss on the next
play found its way into Tokotos
hands. Off one foot, Tokoto
threw the ball up the court to
junior guard Marcus Paige.
The pass felt like it took forever to get there because I was
gonna lay it up, he said. Then
Justin did a great job of sprinting and giving me an option.
Paige bounce pass, Jackson
dunk to take a 67-65 lead. On

Harvards next possession,


Meeks grabbed a Chambers
miss from long range and was
immediately fouled.
Just a little too far left a
clanked free throw that gave
the Crimson one more chance.
Harvard went to senior
swingman Wesley Saunders,
who finished the night with

ASG

tion serves as a non-voting
member on the Board of
Governors. The current president is Alex Parker.
Pierce said he wants to make
ASG leaner and more responsive to student concerns. The
association is in the midst of
a transition from a legislative
organization to an advocacy
organization, he said and
hed like to focus on ASGs ability to have a collective voice
versus legislative power.
The structure doesnt
really make sense for what
ASG is, he said.
Dawkins-Law, a candidate
for senior vice president,
agreed that the structural
changes to ASG will be a positive move and said King, her

running mate, has helped write


them. She also wants to work
more closely with the states
community college system.
She said she wants ASG to
be more present in the news.
We have seen student voices
largely absent from the national conversations in outlets such
as The New Yorker surrounding BOG policy, she said.
Dawkins-Law said she and
King would bring complementary qualities to the leadership roles. She said shes
attended UNC-CH for three
degrees over eight years.
My tenure here spans
across the major struggles our
university has felt, and I have
been on the front line of representing students through these
turbulent times, she said.
Srednicki said he hopes to

Putting all our words to

Pierce said he also hopes to

the power structure within
North Carolina, and I want to

have a trusted voice to check
that power when necessary
and work with that power
when its in the best interests
of students, he said.

Film incentives

COURTESY OF HERRISON CHICAS


ARTVSM, which combines art and activism, will perform ARTVSM in Performance: Cristo Negro, Diablo Blanco for Process Series.

Performance to mix art, activism


By Christine Bang
Staff Writer

Inspired by a weeklong
trip to Portobelo, Panama,
ARTVSM will perform
ARTVSM in Performance:
Cristo Negro, Diablo Blanco in
the final Process Series performance of the 2014-15 season.
The program, Spanish for
Black Christ, White Devil,
will be performed in Swain
Hall on Saturday.
ARTVSM art and
activism members Pierce
Freelon, Herrison Chicas and
Saul Flores will perform with
Panamanian artists Gustavo
and Jairo Esquina de la
Espada. Gustavo will show art
while Jairo dances and emcees.
The show delves into the
rich history and culture of
Portobelo, which was a stop in
the trans-Atlantic slave trade
and is now home to many
people of African descent.
When Freelon, co-founder of
Chapel Hills Beat Making Lab,

initially visited in 2013, he was


inspired to return with Chicas
and Flores to collaborate with
local artists.
When Im in Portobelo, I
see people who look like me,
but the only difference is that
my ancestors ended up in
North America and not South
America like theirs, said
Freelon, musician and lecturer in the UNC Department
of African, African American
and Diaspora Studies.
Using his experience with
the Beat Making Lab, Freelon
turned his love of hip-hop
music and beats into a means
for activism and expression.
Pan-African solidarity thats what I want
people to come away with,
he said. This story illuminates the extent that African
Americans, Caribbeans and
South Americans were apart
of the same African diaspora
all groups that share similar struggles and experience.
The namesake of the

show is a life-size statue of


Cristo Negro that stands in
the middle of Portobelo that
people from around the world
make pilgrimages to see. The
dark-skinned statue exemplifies a different approach to the
traditional historical depiction
of Jesus Christ as white.
The Diablo Blanco originates in the Festival de Diablos
y Congos, which is Spanish
for Festival of Devils and
Africans. People dress up and
wear white devil masks to represent white slaveholders and
colonizers an old tradition
that was created decades ago.
Its a story of resistance
against slavery and colonialism and that was interesting
as an African-American and a
beat-maker, Freelon said.
Chicas, a 2013 graduate of
UNC and a founding member
of the UNC Wordsmiths, is a
traveling spoken word artist.
Chicas will perform La
Lluvia, which is Spanish for
the rain. He said he had just

arrived and started exploring the Portobelo community


when the rain started pouring
down. Through experiences
with locals, he said he was
able to see the world and the
rain in a different perspective.
A 2012 N.C. State graduate, Flores is a well-traveled
photojournalist who has
a special interest in Latin
America. While abroad for
the trip, Flores said he took
photographs that contrasted
with his usual work, which
will be used in the show.
To reflect the title of the
performance, Cristo Negro,
Diablo Blanco, Flores took
black and white photographs
to capture a different feel.
I hope that through my
images, people can take a little bit of Portobelo, Panama,
with them, Flores said.
Storytelling is one of the
most captivating ways to
bring issues to the forefront.

When the state let its tax


incentive program for movie
production expire at the start
this year, the North Carolina
film industry suffered.
A law passed last summer
gutted the previous program
and replaced it with a $10
million stopgap program for
the first half of 2015.
But on March 9, lawmakers introduced a bill to reinstate the previous incentives
program and fund it to the
tune of $66 million per year.
Under the bill, production
companies that spend more
than $250,000 for a project in North Carolina could
receive a 25 percent refund on
some film-related spending in
the state. The previous incentive program was capped at
$20 million per project.
Johnny Griffin, director of
the Wilmington Regional Film
Commission, said the area has
been particularly hurt since
the end of the program.
Just in the Wilmington
region, last year film productions here spent $170
million locally thats
wages, goods and services
purchased and rented from
local vendors, he said. This
year, 2015, we will probably
do $40 to $50 million.
The state has a long tradition of film production,
including classics like Dirty
Dancing and The Color
Purple. Recent films that
benefited from the expired tax
credits include The Hunger
Games series and Iron Man
3, as well as the popular television series Homeland.
Griffin said film production
in the state has been severely
curtailed. He said there are
only about three or four productions currently filming,
and he does not expect it to
improve unless lawmakers act.
He said the change was felt
right away in the industry.
2014 was one of our more
productive years. The incentives were doing exactly what

they were designed to do, he


said. In 2015, which is when
the new grants-based program
began, we saw an immediate
reduction in filming.
Griffin and proponents of
the incentives say productions
in the state stimulate the local
economy. Film companies
shop locally for supplies, and
employees spend their wages in
the communities in which they
work. The industry lost about
4,000 permanent jobs when
the benefits program expired.
Sleepy Hollow, a Fox
series, has moved production
to Georgia for its third season,
where they will receive a 20
percent tax credit on expenses
over $500,000, and an additional 10 percent credit if they
include the states promotional
logo in the credits.
State Rep. Susi Hamilton,
D-New Hanover, has led the
charge to revitalize the film
incentive program.
Hamilton said she worried
that as competitive programs
were eliminated, the losses
would continue or accelerate.
Since it closed down on
Dec. 31, weve seen an 80
percent reduction in calls to
consider North Carolina as a
place to do business, and weve
had several announcements of
existing productions leaving
the state, Hamilton said in a
February news conference.
The large sucking sound
you heard from the film and
television industry over the last
several weeks since the credit
ended would be the example.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

More guns is just a temporary (if not shoddy


and ineffective) solution to a very deeply
rooted problem with our society as a whole.

Matt Leming

h Harry, dont
you see?
Hermione
breathed. If she could have
done one thing to make absolutely sure that every single person in this school will read your
interview, it was banning it!
Thats the reason I downloaded Yik Yak, an anonymous,
location-based social media app
targeted toward college students. Id heard about it, thinking, until last month, that the
app was some initiative related
to Student Affairs. But when I
heard that people wanted to ban
it, I crawled out from the rock I
live under to check it out.
Yik Yak has had its share
of controversy. According to
The New York Times, Yik Yaks
owners have banned it in about
90 percent of U.S. middle and
high schools in response to
administrators complaints
that students were using it to
bully one another. At UNC, it
was famously used for a bomb
threat. Like any worthy new
technology, its been followed
by a string of newspaper articles that echo the tone of a nun
condemning short skirts.
Yik Yak, however, should
not be banned, and while I
dont think the administration
at UNC is seriously considering it, it is generally an oftechoed sentiment.
The internet is like everyone
having a sharpie, and Yik Yak
(among other anonymous message boards) is like a bathroom
stall in Phillips Hall; when
everyone has a Sharpie, many
will decorate bathroom walls
with nonsense. When internet
anonymity goes awry, a lot of
pundits pop up and argue that
the best solution is to remove
bathroom walls entirely. Every
time Anonymous harasses
someone, the first thing some
blogger shouts is to shut down
4chan.
That never works even
if the tool goes away, the idea
is still present (see: Napster).
There are a number of problems in society school bullying, binge drinking, internet
anonymity that cannot be
solved with a bludgeon. But,
whenever problems arise, out
the bludgeon comes. For years,
the music industry tried to
kill illegal downloading, much
like Elmer Fudd chasing Bugs
Bunny. But it only made progress with nuanced, compromising solutions, like Spotify.
Yik Yak can spread sexism,
racism, whatever Im not
arguing that it cant but
anonymity on the internet can
be an outlet for what people
are really thinking.
Yik Yaks problems are a
symptom of deeper issues that
wont go away very easily. The
thoughts that are posted are
thoughts that users would have
had even without Yik Yak.
Internet anonymity is an idea
that will not go away, and Yik
Yak does try to compromise on
those grounds. On Yik Yak, for
example, authorities can catch
people who write bomb threats.
That shouldnt be taken for
granted. You cant guarantee
compromise with a forum on
a .onion site or an anonymous
internet relay chat that doesnt
log anything. If those end up
taking the place of a banned Yik
Yak, then, well, good luck.
So, when dealing with a
hydras head like internet
anonymity, think twice before
trying to cut it off. The idea is
simply not going away.

The Daily Tar Heel

EDITORIAL

A square deal
UNC should study
the life outcomes
of its athletes.

arlier this month,


The New York
Times published
a feature on former UNC
football player Ryan
Hoffman, detailing his
struggles with homelessness and probable mental
illness following the end of
his athletic career at UNC.
The article rightfully
prompted active responses
from Hoffmans former
teammates, who set up a
fund for Hoffman, according to reporting by The
(Raleigh) News & Observer.
On Wednesday, Hoffman
was pictured at UNC, but
UNC officials declined to
confirm if he had been
brought to campus for evaluation and treatment.
The compassionate reactions of Hoffmans teammates and coaches should
be applauded. It is an
example of UNC at its best.
Yet it would be shortsighted to reduce Hoffmans
story to a tale of bad luck.
Hoffmans case is illustrative of how easy it is to lose
track of the many athletes
who pass through UNC.
If UNC is to hold up the
example of The Carolina

Way through its athletic


teams with moral authority,
it must find out more about
how athletes lives unfold
after they leave UNC.
Hoffman has struggled
with employment, and he
and his family believe his
mental health issues could
be a result of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a
kind of brain injury caused
by repeated hits to the
head which can cause
depression, aggression and
memory loss, among other
symptoms. CTE has been
shown to occur at high
rates in football players.
UNCs Kevin Guskiewicz
has led national research on
CTE and closely monitors
the hits the UNC football
teams players receive in
practice and in games. This
work is valuable, but UNC
should find out more about
the health of its graduated
athletes. Football is hardly
the only sport that can
cause serious head injury
womens soccer has been
shown to be highly dangerous in this regard.
And that an athlete could
struggle finding a place in
the workforce after school
is not surprising given the
incredible difficulty of juggling the equivalent of a
full-time job with UNCs
demanding academic

standards. It is not hard to


imagine situations where
academics take a backseat
to athletic performance.
As long as UNC holds
up its athletics program
as a model for balancing
academic and athletic
excellence, it should offer
comprehensive, publicly
available data on athletes
employment and health
outcomes after graduation. Reporting graduation rates alone does not
give a full picture.
A few positive anecdotes
are not representative of
the life outcomes for all
athletes who pass through
the University.
Too little is known to
jump to sure conclusions.
Hopefully, Hoffmans case
is an isolated one.
But if it is not, this community must know and
then do more to make sure
its athletes are prepared for
life after school.
UNCs athletics once had
a reputation for promoting outstanding ethical
behavior and intense loyalty
for all the many people
who passed through its
programs. To carry on this
tradition, UNC should look
seriously at whether it is
offering a square deal to the
athletes who give so much
for their school.

EDITORIAL

All turn to dust again


An obituary for
UNCs beloved
satire publication.

his week, UNC bids


goodbye to The
Minor, its online
satirical publication. Since
2013, The Minors staff has
published content focusing
on life at the university.
Occasionally existential,
frequently absurd and
relentlessly iconoclastic,
they honed an inimitable,
authorial voice that was
incisive, creative and funny.
This is no mean feat for any
publication, especially one
staffed by unpaid students.
The Minor never developed the mass following
of sites like Overheard at
Carolina, UNC Memes or
Yik Yak. In part this was
because it trafficked in
jokes that required a more
substantial time investment than reading a quick
tweet, though also because
many of its topics full
merit scholars and student
government politics, for
example simply did not
interest everyone.
Yet on many occasions
during the last two years, it
felt as if the publication was
doing more than making us
laugh: It was shaping what

students believed about


pressing university issues.
With articles like Yall
Should be Ashamed of
Yourselves by P.J. Hairston
and New Evidence Reveals
Air Bud Took Only Paper
Classes During 2009
Championship Season,
The Minor staked out a
far more critical stance on
student athletics than that
adopted by the University.
During the 2015 student body president
campaign, The Minor
was quick to point out the
weaknesses of the field.
Not content to stop its
critique there, it pilloried
liberal activists on campus
its primary readership
for failing to run a candidate of their own.
Perhaps it was in its critical coverage of Greek affairs
that The Minor did its best
work. Its authors broke
stories on a Vietnam War
party at DKE and a racially
tinged pledge task at Delta
Upsilon.
One of their first hits,
Phi Mu Sacrifices Virginal
Pledge in Macabre Derby
Daze Gambit, perfectly
matched a ludicrous premise with a trenchant critique
of the social dependence of
sororities upon fraternities.
In a brilliant final week

of publication, The Minor


offered its readers one
last taste of their unique
brand: tackling campus
race relations and the
Carrboro music scene
while taking one last shot
at the Greek system before
concluding with a wonderfully strange article
on loneliness, alienation,
a boat propeller and a
decapitated brain.
To a humor magazine
that styled itself as UNCs
only trustworthy news
source: Goodbye. You will
be missed.
Well leave you with five
indispensable Minor articles you may have missed:
An unflinching look
at your parents: Dad
Wishes His Roommate
Were That Excited To Live
With Him.
A critique of study
abroad culture: Hey,
Check Out My Study
Abroad Blog.
Some context for common student complaints:
The Struggle is Real,
Agrees Homeless Man on
Franklin Street.
And a playful takedown
of campus most visible
do-gooders: Campus Y
Partners With Equestrian
Team to Provide High
Horse Lessons.

TO THE EDITOR:
This weekend is the
17th annual UNC Dance
Marathon, hosted by the
Carolina For The Kids
Foundation. Since 1999,
the marathon has been
run entirely by students
and is the culmination of a
year of fundraising for the
patients and families of N.C.
Childrens Hospital.
From 8 p.m. on Friday to
8 p.m. on Saturday, 2,000
UNC students have pledged
to participate in the 24-hour
no-sitting, no-sleeping event
in honor of the families who
face exhaustion while their
child is in the hospital.
We would like to extend
the invitation to all members
of the UNC community to
stop by the marathon to visit
at any point during the event
to see what it is all about. If
you would like to learn more
about the event or the cause,
visit carolinaftk.org. Wish
us luck!

Students shouldnt
celebrate Israel
TO THE EDITOR:
On March 26, UNC Hillel
will host Israel Fest to celebrate Israel. The event offers
participants an opportunity
to learn about Israeli culture
and society. I urge students
to consider the history of
systemic violence and Israels
continuing history of theft,
segregation and aggression.
The creation of Israel
as a homeland for Jewish
people in Palestine was
the direct result of the
systemic displacement of
Palestinian people and
theft of Palestinian land.
The idea that Palestine was
a land without a people for
a people without a land is
at the heart of Zionism, the
belief that Jewish people
have the God-given right to
settle in Palestine.
While UNC Hillel claims
to inspire social justice and
intellectual growth within
its members, the organization plays an active role in
the unjust oppression of the
Palestinian people. Every
year, UNC Hillel offers
Jewish students 100 percent free birthright trips
to Israel. While 7 million
Palestinian refugees remain
excluded from returning to
their lands by discriminatory
Israeli policies, a Jewish student born in North Carolina
can immigrate to Israel and
acquire automatic citizenship under Israels Law of
Return. There is nothing to
celebrate about an organization that participates in an
ongoing colonial project.
To celebrate Israel is
to celebrate a history of
violence, land theft and displacement, and a continued
system of oppression and
discrimination against the
Palestinian people.

A moment of silence and
reflection for The Minor.
Thanks for the laughs and
trustworthiness.
RIP The Minor, landslide
winner of the 2015 SBP
elections.
Spring break was great
until I got back and found
out The Minor was ending.
Now I need an extra few
days to mourn.
More men with guns on
campus? Thanks, yall, us
women feel so much safer
now.
So wait, if The Minor stops,
does that mean I have to
rely on kvetches for my
weekly humor? Uh, oh.
Between Stewart and Colbert leaving and The Minor
ending, this school year
is becoming the death of
humor. Hang in there, Tina
Fey and Amy Poehler.
Shout out to my biology
professor, who played Another One Bites The Dust
before our midterm exam.
Last week has me feeling
like I should change my
LinkedIn headline to Duke
Ticket Consultant.
The definition of white

Hey, UNC, hope you
enjoyed your snow days!

Thanks for letting us have
this one, Harvard. Its been
a tough year, and youll all
end up doctors anyway.
Next year Im just going
to set my bracket on fire
myself and save some midmajor the trouble.
Today, we are all Robert
Morris. Whoever that is.
March: That wonderful
time of year when the
entire country joins us in
rooting against Duke.
Ill give Carol Folt this: She
sends one hell of an email.
But thats about it.
Its equal parts sad and
hilarious that Top This!
was more or less daring
someone to replace it. And
they did.
