Students can apply to live in LGBTQ community

Morgan McLaughlin (left), Brennan Lewis, Nupur Jain, Olive Fadale and Brady
Gilliam (not pictured) worked together to create the curriculum for Pride Place.

I think everyone at Carolina

deserves for it to feel like their
home, sophomore Nupur Jain said.
Jain is one of five student committee members who helped start
Pride Place, the first living place specifically designed for LGBTQ students at UNC. The new Residential
Learning Program will open in Cobb
Residence Hall in fall 2016.
The housing application for
Pride Place is now live on the
UNC Department of Housing and
Residential Education website.
Stacey Parker, assistant director
of academic initiatives and leadership development for the housing
department, described the initiative
as a huge, historic step.
None of this would have happened unless students had come

forward and said, This is something

we really wanted, said Parker, who
worked with the students.

Steps toward gender-neutral

Rick Bradley, associate director for the housing department,
said past efforts to establish housing options for LGBTQ students
were primarily focused around
gender-nonspecific housing, which
was struck down by the Board of
Governors in 2013.
Junior Morgan McLaughlin, one
of the leaders of the student committee, said she knew the first version
of Pride Place would not be gendernonspecific because of the decision.
I knew, as a sophomore trying to
start Pride Place, we werent going
to get gender-nonspecific housing.
We werent going to get that decision
reversed anytime soon. And if we

had gotten it reversed, the General

Assembly probably would have
stepped in and created a law, she said.
McLaughlin said Pride Place will
be a gender-affirming space and will
be the first step in very long process
toward gender-nonspecific housing.
Marty Kotis, a member of the
UNC-system Board of Governors,
said gender-nonspecific housing has
not come up with the current board
and that its something to learn
more about.
When you start getting into who
can be a part of a dorm and who cant,
you dont want people discriminated
against, he said. Its a very slippery
slope to go from creating a separate
space for someone versus corralling
people into a certain area.
That isnt to say Im against
people creating groups choosing

Endowment bill aims to lower US tuition

The bill would apply
to colleges with billion
dollar endowments.
By Lauren Hong
Staff Writer

Congress is looking to lower the

cost of college for middle- to lowincome families this time through
a proposed bill that might compel
universities to dedicate more money
to financial aid.
The bill, drafted by Rep. Tom Reed,
R-New York, would require universi-

ties with endowments larger than $1

billion, such as UNC-Chapel Hill, to
use 25 percent of their annual returns
on endowment investments to reduce
tuition costs for students from families below the federal poverty level.
Congress is trying to signal that
they are concerned about higher
costs and want universities to do
more to lower these costs, said
Shirley Ort, associate provost and
director of scholarships and student
aid for UNC.
An endowment fund is created
when a donor gives money to a university to be invested, and the money
generated by the investment is spent

on programs specified by the donor

such as scholarships, fellowships,
library acquisitions, faculty research
and undergraduate advising.
Eric Johnson, spokesperson for
the UNC Office of Scholarships and
Student Aid, said the bill targets
schools with large endowments and
less-generous financial aid policies
than UNC.
Schools are in very different
circumstances when it comes to
endowment wealth and how they
choose to use it, he said. I think
a single solution for all of them is
unlikely to work well.
UNC, for example, is already

meeting full financial need, doing

so overwhelmingly through the use
of grants. During the 2015-16 academic year, UNCs endowment fund
provided more than $7 million in
funding for scholarships, said Janet
Kelly-Scholle, spokesperson for
UNC Finance and Accounting.
Forty-three percent of students
at UNC receive financial aid, and 74
percent of undergraduate aid comes
in the form of grants and scholarships, Johnson said.
There is a lot of angst nationwide
especially about the cost of pri-

Taking action a focus at MLK lecture NC innocence lawyer

The keynote speaker
asked people to speak
truth to end injustice.
By Piper Anderson
Staff Writer

The journey to achieve Martin

Luther King Jr.s dream isnt over
and the time to act is now.
Hundreds of people packed
Memorial Hall to celebrate
Kings life Monday evening.
The Office of Diversity and
Multicultural Affairs, Carolina
Union Activities Board and a
student-led MLK celebration
committee were all partners in
planning UNCs 35th annual
Martin Luther King Jr. Keynote
Lecture, delivered by author and
activist Marc Lamont Hill.
I was on the MLK planning committee, but Ive heard
about (Hills) work and I
thought it would be interesting
to talk about diversity and a
really great conversation about
adding to the movement for
further diversity, said Princess
Onuorah, a first-year biology

major.
Hill talked about three things
people need to do in order to correct problems such as poverty,
mass incarceration and inequality:
deep listening, asking questions
and taking courageous action in
the form of speaking truth.
There are moments where
truth will make you marginalized, where truth will make you
silent, where truth will make
you hated. King died because
he was willing to speak the
truth even though it was bitter,
Hill said.
He said that by taking action
we can better exact change on
the world.
The biggest problem in the
world is that there are too many
people who dont do anything,
Hill said.
We must collectively act, but
we must act as an organized
body, he said.
Hill discussed the importance
of focusing on public investment
and not criminalizing social
dilemmas.

For more than a decade, Christine Mumma has

fought for the wrongfully imprisoned. But this
past week she fought a different battle.
Mumma, executive director of the North
Carolina Center on Actual Innocence and a professor in the UNC School of Law, faced charges
from the North Carolina State Bar for acting
dishonestly during an investigation to exonerate
Joseph Sledge, who was convicted for two counts
of second degree murder in 1978.
In October 2013, Mumma went to Marie
Andrus house to request a DNA sample which
Andrus denied in an attempt to link Andrus
two brothers to the crime and exonerate Sledge,
according to the Bars complaint. Mumma left
with a water bottle from Andrus home, which
she DNA tested without Andrus knowledge or
consent.
According to the Bar, Mumma infringed on
Andrus right to privacy.

Khushi brings salad to Franklin Street

New nonprofit brewery in Chapel Hill

Mobile boutique transforms weddings

Khushi, a new salad restaurant on Franklin Street, is

working to provide UNC students, and the Chapel Hill
community, fresh food with an Indian twist at a modest
price.
The restaurant offers fresh salads, rice bowls and
wraps on their menu. They also offer a variety of homemade sauces for customers to mix and match with
entrees.
Raj Khanal and his wife Pam are the owners of
Khushi, which opened Friday.
The restaurant occupies the previous location of
Hummus Caf.
Khanal said they chose their location so they could be
close to the university students. He also said there are
not any salad places nearby on Franklin Street.
You have to go all the way to Whole Foods to find a
salad place, Khanal said.
Khanal said he wants to promote fresh food and the
benefits of drinking water rather than soda.
We dont have a soda machine, Khanal said. For
every meal, we give out a bottle of water for free.

Dingo Dog Brewing Co. is saving animal lives one beer at

a time. Dingo Dog is a nonprofit, small-scale craft brewery
opening in spring at Plowgirl Farm in Chapel Hill.
Dingo, a rescued St. Bernard mix, is the brewerys
co-founder, and has started the brewery along with his
owner, Tim Schwarzauer.
Dingo takes a fairly paws off approach to running
the business, as long as he gets a warm place to sleep,
Schwarzauer said.
Schwarzauer and brewer Billy Gagon are working to
set up Dingo Dog Charitable Trust, which will eventually
become the sole owner of the brewery and provide funds
to local, independent no kill animal shelters.
Schwarzauer said he partnered with a sustainable
organic farm like Plowgirl since many of Dingo Dogs
products will be brewed with produce grown at the farm.
It is not uncommon to see people, and their furry
friends, sitting outside one of (North Carolinas) breweries on beautiful days, Schwarzauer said. It seemed
like a natural fit to create a brewery built around our
drinking buddies.

Ida Lou Weddings offers a unique alternative to the

traditional wedding preparation experience.
Ida Lous services include bringing gowns to customers
in an intimate setting, hosting parties at the location that
best suits the customer, creating a private dressing room
and unique setting for parties and photo shoots.
Owner Ashley Morra operates Ida Lou Weddings from
a converted 1976 Argosy Airstream, furnished with 1950s
style seating, curtains, two gown racks, accessory area
and a full length mirror.
Morra said the idea for Ida Lou developed after she
witnessed the popularity of food trucks and in-home
trunk shows in the ready-to-wear industry.
It dawned on me, Morra said. Why not create a
mobile gown boutique that allows me to work with local
stores and offer at-home gown parties?
Morra said she provides a variety of special products,
including period brooches, fur wraps and purses. Morra
said she has training in jewelry design, so every once in a
while customers should expect some custom accessories
that add a shimmer or sparkle to the ensemble.

MC Escher art exhibit extended due to popular demand

By Trevor Lenzmeier
Staff Writer

A poster of Three Worlds

next to David Steels desk in
high school spurred his appreciation for Dutch artist M.C.
Escher that has lasted decades.
That appreciation is on
display in The Worlds of
M.C. Escher: Nature, Science
and Imagination, which Steel
curated for the N.C. Museum
of Art in Raleigh.
The collection, an artistic
menagerie on loan from vari-

for Mummas organization,
said District Attorney Jon
David brought the complaint
against Mumma.

ous collectors, includes Escher

classics such as Drawing
Hands, as well as lesserknown prints and lithographs.
Steel said asking curators
to select their favorite pieces
is akin to asking a parent to
choose a favorite child, but the
universal appeal of his exhibit
has been very gratifying.
The great thing about
Escher is that he will appeal
to viewers from grandkids to
grandparents, Steel said. On
Friday, we had our 100,000th
visitor. It was a grandmother,

a mother and a kid.

Popular demand led the
museum to extend the exhibit
until Jan. 24, but Steel suggested those who have yet to
stop by should do so before
the final throngs of fans
attend this weekend.
Mark McCombs, a
senior lecturer in the UNC
Department of Mathematics,
teaches a first-year seminar
called Mathematics, Art and
the Human Experience, which
examines the mathematical
aspects of Eschers tessellations

and artistic optical illusions.

He said he plans to take his
class to view the exhibit.
One of the aspects of his
work thats interesting in a
mathematical setting is how,
with his use of symmetry, hes
able to create images that are
almost like puzzles, McCombs
said. Some of his pieces look
almost impossible. Its like
visual paradox. You see things
that because of his use of perspective leave you wondering
How could that possibly be?
Steel said Eschers perfec-

tionist tendencies and ability

to utilize sketches from across
his career in later prints set
the artist apart. But Steel said
he particularly appreciates
that Escher rewards those
who pay close attention.
Escher wants you to look at
his prints hard and think about
them. The longer you spend
with them and the more closely
you look at them he rewards
that kind of attention, he said.
Junior mathematics and
physics major Josh Horowitz
visited the exhibit over break

with his family. He said seeing the pieces in person

allowed him an appreciation
even for familiar prints he
had seen before in pictures.
Seeing the Escher pieces
at the exhibit, as opposed to
in pictures, lets you see a lot
more detail, Horowitz said.
It also makes you feel
much closer to the artist
knowing the artist touched
these pieces and worked on
them themselves.

It is disturbing that they

are going after somebody who
has spent her life both trying to free the innocent and
actually freeing the innocent,
Rosen said.
He said David represented
the district where Sledge was

convicted.
According to Mummas
response to the complaint,
Mumma felt that David
in bringing the complaint
against her sought to
undermine evidence of
Sledges innocence.
Ms. Mumma had been
begging him for months to
look into the case. He did not
even take the time to look at
the evidence she sent him,
Rosen said.
Rosen said David did
not meet with the deputy
director of the State Bureau
of Investigation to file the
complaint against Mumma
until after she sent him an
email saying she had the
water bottle tested for DNA
and that the results were
negative.
He said minor disciplinary
infractions like Mummas are
usually handled by a lowlevel committee and resolved
quickly but her case was
referred to a different disciplinary committee.
She received four charges

three related to the water

bottle incident and the other
for giving an uncertified
transcript to a journalist,
who then used it to write
an article. Rosen said the
Bar panel dismissed all of
the charges except one. For
the remaining charge, she
received only the lowest
level disciplinary action for a
minor sanction.
Basically, we had a fourday hearing, which shouldnt
have happened at all, Rosen
said.
Mumma said the hearing
turned her week into a difficult one, but she is already
working on new cases.
Im a little shell-shocked,
she said.
I think itll take me a little
while to regain my footing,
but we have some very good
cases. Im just looking forward to being dedicated to
our mission and not having
to be sidetracked with this
anymore.

to live together who share a

common concept.
Bradley said Pride Place
does not resemble a gendernonspecific dorm and will
follow the same regulations
as other coed dorms and residential learning programs,
which establish communities
that center around a common
theme or goal. As in any coed
dorm, roommates must be
the same sex.

Building on community
Bradley said Pride Places
pillars are community development, public service and
advocacy, identity exploration
and broad multiculturalism.
Olive Fadale, a first-year
who served on the student
committee, said she is most
looking forward to a sense of
community.
One of the things that has
helped me in the transition
process and coming out is
people: the people around me,
the people who have affirmed
my gender, people who have
encouraged me to explore my
gender and to explore issues
related to that, she said. I
think the community will be
the most helpful aspect for me
and for a lot of others.
The committee said they
expect around 20 students
will live in Pride Place when
it opens in the fall, but expansion is possible if more people
are interested. Residents will
be chosen based on their interest in and need for a genderaffirming space.
The committee also stressed
that LGBTQ students who

is another area where we are
obviously not the target of a
proposal like this, he said.
If passed, universities must
comply for three consecutive
years or they risk losing tax
exempt status, said Brandy
Brown, Reeds spokesperson.
We care about helping
these kids and their families
and want to make sure that
there is a fair and transparent
way to keep the cost of higher
education in check, Reed said
in an email. This proposal
is about holding universities
accountable to the students
and families who are continuing to pay higher and higher
tuition costs year after year
without explanation.

A safe space
Committee members like
first-year Brennan Lewis
recounted times when a space
like Pride Place would have
offered sanctuary from uncomfortable living situations.
Ive had many experiences in my life where Ive felt
unsafe in bathroom situations
and living situations, so I really want to have a space where
I feel affirmed, Lewis said.
Parker said the initiative
represents a major step forward from her undergraduate
years in the late 80s.
I just wish there was something like this when I was in
undergrad. You couldnt tell
anyone you were queer, she
said. You had to hide on so
many different levels. I kind of
get choked up about it because
this is going to be a place where
people dont have to hide.
Brady Gilliam, a sophomore
member of the student committee, said a randomly paired
roommate once requested not
to room with Gilliam after discovering Gilliam was gay.
I think Pride Place will
be able to solve a lot of those
problems, he said.
For McLaughlin, the new
residential community stands
for a freedom to express her
identity.
I lived in a dorm my first
year where I didnt feel safe,
McLaughlin said. And now
theres going to be a place for
people. And thats just like my

tive think-tank, said he thinks
decisions about endowment
spending should be determined by the state.
Politicians should not mess
around with decisions that
rightfully belong to the university, he said. States have
authority over the spending of
their universities and private
schools are entitled to set their
priorities for spending.
The bill is currently a preliminary discussion draft,
and is expected to change as
it moves forward. Gregory
Brown, a Kenan-Flagler
Business School professor,
said he does not know how
financially viable the bill is.
It seems like a one-sizefits-all solution for a problem
that may not exist, Brown said.
There are astronomical odds
that a single spending policy
or constraint would be optimal
for every school on that list.

Cornelio Campos
will speak about his
artwork at the Union.
By Elizabeth Barbour
Staff Writer

A new art exhibit is

coming to the halls of
the Frank Porter Graham
Student Union.
Cornelio Campos
collection, La Esperanza
y El Sacrificio, which
translates to Hope and
Sacrifice, shows the local
artists perspective on the
life and experiences of
immigrants.
He will be speaking about
his artwork at 6:30 p.m.
Thursday in the Union.
Campos himself came
to America from Chern,
Mexico, after he finished
high school at age 18, not

knowing a word of English.

Though he struggled to
learn a new language and
adapt to living in a different
country, Campos has turned
his trials into an opportunity
to share the hopes and
struggles of immigrants with
people who have never had
to face that challenge.
Jessica Head met Campos
during her first-year seminar and has been working
closely with him to bring his
art to campus.
Head said she was
so inspired by Campos
message and artwork that
she collaborated with him
and contacted the school
over break to set up the
exhibit.
Campos said Head is
helping portray the strife of
immigrants.
She wants to share the
struggles of immigrants, he
said.
I think the purpose of
this exhibit is to begin a
dialogue.
Carolina Hispanic
Association has been
advertising the event on its
Facebook page in an effort
to draw students to the
exhibit.

This show provides

pieces that can serve to
start a conversation about
many current events, and
also garner an emotional
response from those who
have had similar journeys,
the page said.
Campos also had praise for
UNCs support of the arts.
I believe they support
locals artists local art hardly anybody knows, he said.
Head praised the bright
colors and unique imagery
of Campos paintings.
These aspects are unique
because Campos said he
draws inspiration from his
home of Mexico and other
Spanish-speaking regions.
Campos said he never
received formal painting
lessons, but a person in his
hometown was taking art
lessons and was willing to
share what he was learning
with the young artist.
First-year student
Eddy Fernandez said he is
impressed by how creative
Campos has been in sharing
his story and his heritage.
I know with a lot of
Hispanics, its kind of like
they try to get their story
out there to try to make a

difference in policy here

in the United States,
Fernandez said.
He said many Hispanics
will become politically active
or write in newspapers. But
he has never seen someone
use art to get the message
across.
He is impressed by
Campos success in arriving
in a new country and
building himself a life and a
career.
I think his story is a pretty
good example of what the
American Dream is, he said.
Students should expect to
see unique, vivid artwork that
tells the story of building a
new life in the United States.
The pieces include
imagery of the Statue of
Liberty, the American flag,
skeletons from Da de los
Muertos and Hispanic
immigrants working
alongside famous American
landmarks.
Campos currently lives in
Durham and said he is glad
local art galleries offer the
opportunity to exhibit his art.
Im going back to where I
started to get known.

Dont just do the talk, walk the walk

MLK Day
rally draws
community
together
By Brooke Fisher
Staff Writer

What are you gonna do? What

are you gonna do to change this
country? Tyler Swanson, a recent
North Carolina A&T graduate,
asked a crowd of nearly 100 gathered outside the Franklin Street
post office at 9 a.m. Monday.
We can come together each
year to commemorate a legacy, but
if youre not putting that legacy
into action, we are wasting time.
And ladies and gentlemen, we have
no time to waste, said Swanson.
The Chapel Hill-Carrboro
NAACP came together for its
annual celebration of Martin
Luther King Jr. Day. The festivities
included a rally, march and service.
The rally included spoken word by
UNC first-year Madrid DannerSmith, songs by the UNC Gospel
Choir and an address by Swanson.
The rally ended in a march to First
Baptist Church of Chapel Hill for a
special service.
Several prominent community
leaders spoke at the service,
including keynote speaker Reginald
Hildebrand, an associate professor at
UNC. Hildebrand spoke about Kings
last day before being assassinated in
Memphis, Tenn., in 1968.
Rather than make a speech, I
would like to think out loud with
you what Martin Luther King Jr.
had on his mind that day, the day
before his death, Hildebrand said.
Hildebrand highlighted how

DTH/ALEX KORMANN
Members of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro NAACP participate in a march on Franklin Street as a part of their annual celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Kings last days included many

hardships for the leader, as King
had vocally criticized the war in
Vietnam and declared more should
be done to help those in poverty.
Kings views on each were
unpopular among his dissenters and supporters, but he still
delivered his Ive Been to the
Mountaintop speech to a group
gathered at the Mason Temple.
Hildebrand said any normal person

would decline the offer to speak

and rest for the days ahead, but
King went and spoke to the crowd
to inspire them to keep fighting.
The service also included the
presentation of the Martin Luther
King Jr. Community Service Award
to Ruth Zalph, an active member
of the civil rights movement. Zalph
said she was a part of the civil rights
movement for those who did not
have the same opportunities because

of the color of their skin.

The Rev. Robert Campbell,
president of the Chapel HillCarrboro NAACP, said he became
active in the community after his
service in the military where he
saw problems abroad.
I knew that in order for change
to occur, I had to do something
at home, Campbell said. (King)
said, Dont just do the talk, walk
the walk.

Eugene Farrar, program

chairperson for the Chapel HillCarrboro NAACP, said there was
still a lot of work to be done.
The more things change, the
more they remain the same. Thats
why we come back year after year
after year to honor and respect
the legacy and life of the late Dr.
Martin Luther King.

Beloved class Congress sets goals, talks GPSF split

Larry Goldbergs seminar series is

memorable long after graduation.
By Anna Freeman
Staff Writer

A group of alumni is proving academic discussion forms some of the strongest bonds in college.
Larry Goldberg, a lecturer in the English
department, has taught Elements of Politics
through the honors program to scores of UNC
students since 1992.
During Martin Luther King Jr. weekend,
Goldbergs former Elements of Politics students
attended three academic seminars and social
events, where they discussed philosophical
questions through historical works.
Rachel Gurvich, a visiting professor in the
UNC School of Law and a former student of
Goldbergs, spearheaded organizing the event.
We have 70 or more people traveling from
all over the country. Weve actually got some
folks coming in internationally from London
and Jerusalem that are alums of this class to get
together for three academic seminars where well
be discussing philosophy and literature, she said.
Gurvich said the symposium is held during the
middle of January because it started as a 75th
birthday celebration for Goldberg.
A group of us that were still in touch with him
were actually doing reading groups via Skype, she
said. He led reading groups on Friday nights
and Thursday nights, so we would get together
with people from all over the country and talk
about The Tempest or some work of literature.
Gurvich said the class itself is formatted as a
seminar, with desks in a circle. She said everyone
is addressed by their last name, and students
learn through conversation instead of lecture.
Geoffrey Wessel, a 2003 graduate, said he took
four semesters with Goldberg.
Its really true my whole sense of morality,
of how to live, what is the best way to live, how
I should live my life grew out of mostly this
class, Wessel said.
Ben Lundin, a 2007 graduate and organizer of
the symposium, said the event was a testament to
the hundreds, if not thousands, of UNC students
who have felt the impact of Goldbergs class.
As were all old and crotchety now with real
jobs, its nice for a time to get back to the roots of
liberal education in reading and conversation on the
most important topics, and I think that the symposium is an opportunity to do that, Lundin said.
Goldberg said he is thrilled to see his former
students enjoying themselves and continuing
their readings into adulthood.
What you really want when youre teaching
is that people will continue, not just sort of learn
some stuff and move on, but they become thinkers
and readers, Goldberg said. This is evidence that
they have and that gives me a big thrill.
Goldberg said he hoped hed made better
people through his teaching.
There are seeds that are planted in the souls
of these people, and thats one of the reasons they
come back, Goldberg said. And it enriches their
lives and theyll be better parents, and better
friends, and better citizens because of this.

Members of Student
Congress discussed the
proposed split between the
Graduate and Professional
Student Federation and
undergraduate student
government at its semester
planning meeting on Saturday.
This is us losing authority,
Student Congress Speaker David
Joyner said.
Student Congress met in a sixhour open session to set goals for
the upcoming semester.
The group discussed GPSF
as part of a policy information
session about representation and
the student constitution. Other
information sessions covered
student government finances
and campus climate.
My worry with a
split government is that

undergraduates and graduates

wouldnt be interacting much
at all, said Cole Simons,
chairperson of the Oversight
and Advocacy Committee.
Simons questioned what
would happen to student
representation on the Board of
Trustees if there were separate
graduate and undergraduate
student governments.
Currently, the student body
president sits on the Board of
Trustees.
We dont need to be
diminishing that voice any
more, Simons said.
Joyner said more meetings
will be held to discuss the
proposed GPSF split before the
policy change would be brought
to a full student body vote.
Representative Sarah Hudak
said it is important for students
to understand the benefits of
either option.
I really want the students
to be informed because at the
end of the day, its not (Student
Congresss) vote, Hudak said.
In other portions of the
meeting, Student Congress

STORY SO FAR

Agitation in GPSF became

public when the president and
secretary resigned Nov. 12.

On Nov. 23, GPSF leaders

sent UNC administrators a letter asking for autonomy.

In December, GPSF elected a

new president, Dylan Russell.
On Jan. 12, GPSF discussed
two alternatives for how to
move forward.

members wrote a vision

statement for the semester and
discussed how to reach the
student body more effectively.
When we leave office in 80
days, which I promise will fly
by, what are three things that
we can use to say if we were
successful? Joyner asked.
Ethics Committee
Chairperson Samantha
Yarborough said Student
Congress members should
go above and beyond what
is required of them to better

engage constituents.
I think we need a holistic
image of what congress is, and
having the vision statement is
really going to help with that,
Yarborough said.
Dale Bass, speaker protempore of Student Congress,
told members to think about
goals for their respective
districts for the semester.
Its really important to
advocate for issues that really hit
home for you, Bass said.
Members had a shared goal
to have students run from every
district. Student Congress has
struggled with vacancy issues for
several semesters.
I think that congress should
become even more representative,
said Priyesh Krishnan, Finance
committee chairperson.
Hudak said it is important
for members to hold
themselves accountable.
I want to make sure that
our resolutions do not stop on
paper, Hudak said. We need to
be measuring progress.

Seniors startup rents scooters for speedy trips

Students can rent a scooter and
equipment each semester.
By Maria Prokopowicz
Staff Writer

Students at UNC, Duke University

and N.C. State University now have the
opportunity to rent scooters through a new
startup called Carolina Scoots, a business
founded and managed by UNC senior
Brent Armstrong.
I had a lot of friends that had scooters my
freshman year, and they bought the cheap,
unreliable ones, and they were really unhappy
with them, Armstrong said. So kind of where
I started was Okay, whats the good stuff? And
the good stuff was the Honda and the Yamaha.
He took out a loan from his father and
bought scooters he could rent out to his
friends.
Renting is simple, he said. Students can
contact him through email, his website or
by phone. He estimated students pay about
$500 per semester.
You tell me which type of model, which
scooter you want, you tell me where you
want it delivered, and I deliver it to you and
charge ... no extra cost, Armstrong said.
He also provides his renters with a
helmet, locks, security cable, license plates
and registration. He said next year all the
scooters will also be insured.
(You get) access to backup scooters in
case you cant start your scooter or it breaks
down or anything like that, and I think thats
the biggest thing that people pay for, he said.
If you rent a scooter from me, you basically
ensure that youre always going to have a ride.
Randy Young, spokesperson for the UNC
Department of Public Safety, said he has
seen the number of scooters and mopeds
on campus rise in recent years to the

DTH/CHICHI ZHU
UNC senior Brent Armstrong founded and currently manages the business Carolina Scoots.

hundreds. He said this is likely due to their

cost effectiveness and the ease of parking
them compared to cars.
A few years ago we saw a large increase,
Young said. I think its just continued to
be an option recognized by more and more
students and faculty.
DPS Sgt. James David said the main
issue with mopeds on campus is ensuring
that the public understands mopeds are
considered motor vehicles.
An issue we pushed last semester was
educating the public that mopeds are
considered vehicles and have to abide by the
same laws as motor vehicles, David said.
Armstrong said he believes scooters are
the best ways to get around campus by
providing freedom to students who do not

have a car.
Once you get on a scooter, its tough to go
back really because you can zip pretty much
right up to your classroom, and its just super
convenient, he said.
He said he has received interest from students at Duke and N.C. State and has already
gotten commitments from students at Duke.
Although the business is only run by
Armstrong now, he said he plans to continue
and expand it next year.
Its all me right now, but next year Ill
have one of my friends manage it for me,
he said. Im thinking about taking it other
places, so Ill have somebody managing the
Chapel Hill location for me.

The Daily Tar Heel

Mens tennis dominates in season opener

MENS TENNIS

NORTH CAROLINA 6
GEORGETOWN0
By Christian Phillips
Staff Writer

The No. 9 North Carolina

mens tennis team opened its
season on Saturday with high
expectations in a doubleheader
against Georgetown and North
Carolina A&T.
And in their first step
toward what they hope will
be a National Championship
season, the Tar Heels swept
the Hoyas 6-0 and cruised
past the Aggies 6-1.
While the Tar Heels put
a dominant performance
together in their opening
contest, Coach Sam Paul

knows his team has a long way

to go if it wants to win the ACC
and NCAA championships.
Our expectations are very
high, he said. We know we
have the talent, but we have
to get better from that.
UNC comes into the spring
season with lots of tools to
help it accomplish its goals.
Senior Brett Clark and
sophomore Robert Kelly are
the top-ranked doubles team
in the country, and Clark
said he hopes the ranking
will give the duo a slight edge
heading into matches.
Hopefully, that confidence
that we are definitely the best
team, or one of the best teams
in the country, will help us,
he said. Maybe give us a little
intimidation factor going
onto the court against teams
that can see that.

The team also returns its

top-ranked singles player,
junior Ronnie Schneider, who
came into Saturday ranked
No. 13 in the country.
Schneider is coming back
from a fibula injury that has
kept him out of competition
since early October, and he
only competed in the early
matches against Georgetown
to ensure he would be able to
compete in UNCs next match.
You can play all the sets
in practice that you want,
Schneider said. But you cant
replicate playing a match in
an event like (Saturday).
Saturday was also the
debut of the newly installed
Smart Court technology at
the Cone-Kenfield Tennis
Center. This technology uses
four fully automatic cameras
to view the courts.

The system can give realtime action reviews and

provide auto stats as well as
bio-mechanical analysis of
players movements on the
court. It allows players and
coaches to review what players
are doing right and what they
need to improve on.
Were still trying to work
out some of the kinks, but its
a great teaching tool for our
guys, Paul said.
Paul said he hopes this
technology will help the players keep their focus on a pointto-point basis and help them
maintain the patterns they
want to run during matches.
The players will need to
maintain their focus in every
match this season if they want
to end their season with a title.
UNC will have to make its
way through an ACC slate

where 10 of the 12 teams

in the conference made the
NCAA Tournament a year ago.
The Tar Heels have made
the Elite Eight in each of
the past two seasons, and

they hope these tools will

help them take the next
step toward a third straight
quarterfinal and beyond.

Young athletes lift UNC track and eld to sweep

The Tar Heel men and
women placed first in
the season opener.
By James Tatter
Staff Writer

The North Carolina track

and field athletes got off to
a red-hot start to the 2016
season, as both the mens
and womens teams took
home first place trophies
at the Dick Taylor Carolina
Cup on Friday.
The meet, which took
place at the Eddie Smith
Field House in Chapel Hill,
saw UNC take down in-state

competitors Duke, N.C.

State and East Carolina.
And for the Tar Heels, the
best might be yet to come.
The Tar Heels managed
to pick up both team wins
while holding out some
of their most experienced
veterans. This gave the
younger runners a chance to
demonstrate what they can
do at the collegiate level.
While some of the more
seasoned runners got a
day off, the team was still
determined to show its
strength and depth in the first
few weeks of the season.
Even though its early season, its fun to get the competitive juices going for the kids,

Coach Harlis Meaders said.

The young runners seized
the opportunity and set some
notable early season marks.
First-year Nicole Greene
hit 1.81 meters in the high
jump, a height that has her
ranked fourth in the nation.
Despite the high mark,
Greene was not immune
to the jitters that can come
along with proving yourself
as a new runner.
The key was making
sure my nerves were calm
and performing my best
and being really calm in the
situation, Greene said.
Natisha Dixon, a
sophomore, also stood out
as an underclassman. She

Even though its

early season, its fun
to get the competitive juices going.
Harlis Meaders
UNC track and field coach

put up a personal record in

the 60-meter hurdles at 8.42
seconds, which places her at
the top of the current ACC
rankings.
The Tar Heels got
production out of several
other young runners,
including first-year Katlin
Sherman who threw down
an ACC-best 24.24 second

200-meter dash.
Despite a prevalence of
youth for the Tar Heels, the
veterans who were competing
got off to a great start, too.
A.J. Hicks, a redshirt senior,
opened the season with a throw
of 21.16 meters, 18 centimeters
farther than he threw at the
start of the 2015 season, in the
weight throw. The throw was
also four feet farther than any
other competitors.
Even though A.J. is seasoned, hes still working out
the bugs, Meaders said. But
its very good to see that he is
on the right path.
Hicks agreed with that
sentiment and has some
ambitious goals that he feels

are within reach.

First-team All-America
would be nice, Hicks said.
The Indoor weight record
would also be nice.
The Tar Heels might have
the recipe for success with a
very potent young lineup that
could improve even further
when the more experienced
veterans are added in.
Weve got a number of
young kids that are continuing to improve and get better,
and its exciting to have young
kids that talented, Meaders
said. It makes the future
of both programs, men and
women, look good.

Skywatchers view starry night at Jordan Lake

By Janna Childers
Staff Writer

Amateur astronomers,
families and students gathered at the Ebenezer Church
Recreation Area at Jordan
Lake Saturday night for a
skywatching session hosted
by Morehead Planetarium
and Science Center.
The Morehead
Planetarium opened to the
public in 1949 as the first
planetarium in the southern
United States.
Amy Sayle, an educator at
the Morehead Planetarium,
said the planetarium hosts a
skywatching session almost
every month and has been
doing so for many years.
The skywatching sessions
are co-sponsored by the
Morehead Planetarium and
Jordan Lake, a state park in
Apex.
I cant give you the
starting date because nobody
knows anymore, but its
decades that weve been out
here, Sayle said.
The skywatching session
lasted two hours, and people
of all ages and astronomy
backgrounds were able to
look through telescopes
provided by the Morehead
Planetarium, Chapel
Hill Astronomical and
Observational Society and

I just like to do this on the weekends

because its just too fun.
Elizabeth Martinez
Part-time employee of Morehead Planetarium

Raleigh Astronomy Club

to see stars, nebulae and
galaxies.
We typically attract two or
three hundred or more each
time, Sayle said.
In terms of who comes,
its everybody. Its all ages
and youll hear multiple
languages spoken.
Students from UNCs
BeAM Makerspace debuted
their handmade telescope
decorated to look like Van
Goghs Starry Night.
Its the first time the
telescopes been here,
displaying the beautiful
Starry Night, Jewell Brey,
an organizer of the build said.
The original idea was way less
cool, so they came up with the
idea to paint it like that.
The telescope build, led
by about 16 students, took
place during fall semester
over four building sessions
on Monday nights.
Frank Westmoreland, an
amateur astronomer with the
Raleigh Astronomy Club, said
he has been participating in
the skywatching sessions for
more than 12 years.

Westmoreland has been

interested in astronomy
since the third grade and
had set up indoor observing
models of the moon and
photos of Pluto from the
New Horizon Space Craft for
people attending the event
to observe.
Actually it goes all the
way back to the third grade,
but it didnt really pick
up until the late 1990s up
at Pilot Mountain during
a solar observation,
Westmoreland said.
Elizabeth Martinez, a parttime employee of Morehead
Planetarium, said she enjoys
working the skywatching
sessions. Martinez has
worked for the planetarium
since she transferred to UNC
as a junior in 2012.
I just like to do this on
the weekends because its just
too fun, Martinez said. Next
month we are going to have a
meteor shower.
The next skywatching
session will take place on Feb.
13 at 7 p.m.

Kennedy Meeks had four

holes in his white knee brace.
Some were big oblong, about
the size of a quarter and some
were small. Some were a little
bloody, and some were clean cut.
He picked at them all the same.
He was frustrated, after all. That
tends to happen when Coach Roy
Williams calls someone out.
Kennedy, what exactly did
Coach say to you at halftime?
To me? Just to stop pouting
when he takes me out, Meeks
said. Ive got to still work my way
into the game and all those types
of things, which is true. Me as a
player, of course I wanna stay in
as long as I can, but its being part
of the team. Its about the team.
Right, the team. The thenNo. 5 North Carolina mens

crosstown rival, N.C. State, 67-55

But at halftime, the game was
far from decided. Tied at 29, the
Tar Heels (16-2, 5-0 ACC) were
struggling. Marcus Paiges shots,
for the second straight game,
werent falling. Brice Johnson,
UNCs leading scorer, had two
fouls and just four points.
And Meeks? Doing as his
coach said: pouting.
The first half, he didnt deserve
to play any more, Williams said.

more minutes.
So Kennedy, play better. Five
points in 12 minutes? Not good
enough the team needs you.
In the second half, Kennedy
was playing, Williams said.
Playing is one thing carrying
a team almost single-handedly is
another. Joel Berry finished the
game with 14 points, but he only
had eight in the second half.
After the break, Meeks went
8-for-10 from the floor en route
to his team-high 23 points.
Dont forget the six rebounds
and three blocks, too.
But it was the way Meeks
played, more than his final
figures, that helped the Tar
Heels pull away from the
Wolfpack (10-8, 0-5 ACC).
In the second half, you didnt

see him fading away at all,

Paige said. He was going right
at them, even if he got his shot
blocked he was gathering
himself, going strong, posting
stronger and getting the ball
closer to the basket.
He was a man in the
second half, and he was the big
difference for us.
When his team needed him
most, Meeks responded. The
6-foot-10 junior in his first serious minutes in over a month
buoyed a UNC offense that otherwise could seemingly do nothing.
He drained fadeaway jumpers, dove for loose balls and even
slammed a breakaway dunk for
good measure. Not even a late
knee injury could slow him down.
And then, with just under a

minute left, Meeks stepped to

the free throw line. The game
was already out of hand two
points would push UNCs lead
to double digits but there was
still more to be done.
So the ball left his grasp,
but he kept his arms in the air,
wrists bent as they were.
It flew through the air and
bounced off the rim. And then,
as it had all game, it dropped
through the hoop. Meeks bent
over, hands on his knees, and he
stuck out his tongue.
He was tired. After all, he
had done it all for UNC in the
second half.
Then he picked at the holes in
his knee brace again.

30 years of hoops at the Smith Center

On March 6,
2005, the North
Carolina mens
basketball team
overcame a nine-point
deficit with three minutes
left to beat Duke 75-73.
Marvin Williams cemented
the comeback by converting
a 3-point play off a missed
free throw with less than 20
seconds left.

This is one of the better teams weve had in

recent years in terms of talent. But the teams we
have fenced so far have more experienced so
we just have to play a little catch-up game.
Miller on his teams performance.

Notable

The North Carolina fencing teams had bright

spots in their performances in Saturdays Penn
State Dual Meets, but neither could consistently
close out bouts against top teams.
The women finished 2-4 on the day, including
a narrow 15-12 loss to No. 8 Penn State, while
the men finished 1-4.
The best performance on the day by any
fencer, male or female, was by Sydney Persing,
Coach Ron Miller said.
The first-year Persing was the rock for the Tar
Heels, finishing 11-6 in the womens foil. She has
had strong performances so far this season, and
this was no exception.
Persing pulled out two of her three wins
against Penn State by scores of 5-4, establishing
herself as a clutch performer on a day where
multiple bouts were decided by one touch.
She also helped the womens team in its two
victories, one a tough, 14-13 match against
Yale, and the other a dominating 22-5 win
over Haverford.
The mens team could not find the same
level of consistency as the women Tar Heels,
though. They finished 1-4, with the only
victory coming in a 20-7 win over Haverford.
A sizable portion of the mens bouts were
decided by one stroke, which could have
swung some matches the other way.
As the day progressed, the men did manage
to improve on the close bouts, finishing strong
on a frustrating day.
In the teams first dual meet since Nov.
21, it faced a competitive field that included
Columbia, the reigning national champion.
Also, the men received a boost in their lineup
after the return of senior Harry Adams. The Tar
Heel foil was studying abroad in Ireland this
past semester and was not available all fall.

Quotable

The field of teams in this event was

particularly strong. Four of the six schools the
womens team competed against were in the top
10 in the country. As for the men, three of the
five competing teams were ranked in the top 10.

With his team

up by 12 with
17.5 seconds left
against Duke, Tyler
Hansborough received
an elbow to the face from
the Blue Devils Gerald
Henderson. The ordeal
left Hansboroughs face
bloodied and enticed a wave
of boos from the crowd.
In 2000, an
abundance of snow
led to a mostly
student-filled
Smith Center in a win
against Maryland. In 2014,
snow delayed the Duke
home game eight days and
raised tensions. UNC went
on to claim a 74-66 victory
over No. 5 Duke.

The Smith Center prepares for a basketball game. Monday marked the 30-year anniversary of the Smith Center.

On Jan. 18, 1986, No. 1 UNC played its first

game in the Smith Center against No. 3 Duke.
The game lived up to the hype, as Steve Hale
tallied 28 points, and Brad Daugherty picked
up a double-double in a 95-92 Tar Heels win.

During its 1993 championship season, UNC

trailed Florida State by 21 with nine minutes
left during a January home game. After cutting
the deficit to one, a George Lynch steal and
dunk with 1:39 left gave UNC the lead for good.

By Evan Chronis
Staff Writer

This season hasnt gone the way

Coach Sylvia Hatchell planned,
but the play of North Carolina
first-year Stephanie Watts has
surpassed all expectations.
Although UNC (12-8, 2-3 ACC)
fell short against No. 21 Miami (17-2,
5-1 ACC) on Sunday, Watts shined,
tallying 19 points, nine rebounds and
four assists in the 76-61 loss.
I think shes the best freshman
in the country to be honest with
you, Hatchell said.
In the Tar Heels first five conference games, Watts leads the team
with 14 points and 4.4 assists per
game. The guard is also second on
the team with 7.4 rebounds per
game during that span.

Despite losing to an ACC opponent for the third consecutive contest, Hatchell takes positives away
from the experiences she is sharing
with players like Watts and senior
guard NDea Bryant.
I dont enjoy losing, but Im
enjoying these kids, Hatchell said.
(Watts) is in the gym all the time,
and (Bryant) plays really good.

wasnt a surprise for Hatchell, who
has been continually impressed by
the first-years dedication.
Kids come in here all the time
as I come and go, Hatchell said.
It doesnt matter what time it is,
(Watts) is always in here shooting.
She is just going to continue to get
better and better because shes fearless and wants to learn to be great.
Being great was always a part of
Watts plans when she became a Tar
Heel, but her hand has been forced
due to the injuries UNC has faced.
Those injuries culminated with
Sundays news that the Tar Heels
will be without senior forward

Xylina McDaniel for the rest of the

season. She suffered a tear in her
meniscus and ACL in her right knee
on Thursday against Georgia Tech.
Injuries have forced young players
like Watts to see extended minutes.
Watts played all 40 minutes against
Miami, as UNC played just six players.
When a first-year player is
playing the entirety of a game,
fatigue can be a definite factor.
When it gets to end of the game,
Coach Hatchell tells us that its a
mindset to not be tired, Watts said.
But fatigue was unavoidable
against the Hurricanes, as UNC was
outrebounded 14-7 and outscored by
nine points in the second half.
Watts has seen an increased role
for the Tar Heels considering the
team currently boasts a light roster
in the midst of conference play.
In ACC play, the teams are better
and the games are a lot faster, she
said. They will have three big post
players on the floor and it may be just
me and (first-year guard) Destinee
(Walker) going against them.

From this point on, no game will

be easy for Watts and the Tar Heels.
Everyone in the ACC wants to
beat us, Bryant said.
But while the season has not been
going the way Hatchell expected,

she is excited to see the growth and

development of her young players.
You improve and get stronger and
better through adversity, she said.
