Board of Governors moves Admissions


lawsuit
moves
forward on strategic plan forward with
SCOTUS ruling

The affirmative action lawsuit, filed


two years ago, was put on pause.
By Felicia Bailey

DTH/ROBERT GOURLEY
The UNC Board of Governors has nearly completed its strategic five-year plan for the UNC system. The plan will be finalized in January.

The plan will refocus the system on five major themes


By Danielle Chemtob
State and National Politics Editor

Soon after UNC-system


President Margaret Spellings
officially took office, the Boston
Consulting Group reported that
many felt the system lacked
a strategic focus in a study of

the UNC system including


administration, faculty, staff
and students.
This report coincided with
the early planning sessions of
a new five-year strategic plan
for the system. After months
of meetings and community forums the UNC-system

Board of Governors drafted


five themes for the new plan
access, affordability and
efficiency, student success, economic impact and community
engagement, and excellent and
diverse institutions.
The UNC-system Board of
Governors will finalize the plan

during a meeting in January, and


the plan will go into effect after
the previous plan expires in 2018.

UNC has been fighting a lawsuit against its


affirmative action practices for two years, but a
precedent-setting Supreme Court ruling from June
indicates that the Universitys prospects are good.
Legal defense foundation Project on Fair
Representation filed the suit in November 2014
on behalf of Students for Fair Admissions, an
organization aimed at helping students who felt
they were wrongfully denied from colleges and
universities due to affirmative action practices.
UNCs case was put on hold to await the June
outcome of a similar case against the University of
Texas at Austin.
The Supreme Court ruled against Abigail
Fisher, a white woman who felt she was wrongfully denied from the University of Texas because
of affirmative action admissions processes.
Since the Fisher case reached a ruling over the
summer, the UNC case is back on track and in the
process of discovery, or fact-finding, Students for
Fair Admissions President Edward Blum said.
Blum, a longtime proponent of fair admissions
processes, accused UNCs admissions policies
of violating students 14th Amendment right to
equal protection under the law.
We allege that that process of treating people
differently by race having their race help them
in some instances and having their race harm
them in some instances is unnecessary, unfair
and unconstitutional, Blum said.

Fisher v. UT Precedence
Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of University of
California, Irvine School of Law, said the Supreme
Courts decision marked affirmative action constitutional and it will remain that way unless the
Fisher precedent is overturned and he believes

Dominquie Green breaks UNC footballs interception drought


UNC didnt have an
interception until
Saturdays 41-7 win.
By David Adler
Senior Writer

There have been plenty of


opportunities for the North
Carolina football teams
defense. But each chance
ended with a drop, a bobble
or a mistimed jump and a
lot of frustration.
When a pass by The
Citadel (10-1) landed near
three defenders for the Tar
Heels (8-3, 5-2 ACC) and
none of them came up with
the interception, quarterback Mitch Trubisky couldnt
believe it.
I think we tipped one
earlier in the game, Trubisky
said. I was just looking on
the sideline and like, Man,
we are cursed.
The curse was a plausible explanation for such an
unusual stat. Going into the
41-7 win over The Citadel, the
Tar Heels were the only team

out of 128 FBS programs


to not have an interception
this season, despite having
an experienced and talented
secondary.
Although Trubisky entertained the idea of a curse,
Head Coach Larry Fedora
wasnt buying it.
Weve emphasized turnovers as much as any team
in the country could, Fedora
said. We just havent created
anything. I had kind of given
up on the thought. Just as
soon as you do, it happens.
Senior free safety
Dominquie Green ended
the infamous streak for
UNC with his interception
in the second quarter on
Saturday. With first-year
Myles Dorn in excellent position, The Citadel quarterback
Dominique Allen had to
make a tough throw over the
top of Dorn. And Green was
there waiting for the overthrown pass.
Green like many defensive backs earlier this season
initially bobbled the pass,
but he was able to gain control and make a run for it.

I was just looking


on the sideline and
like, Man, we are
cursed.
Mitch Trubisky
Redshirt junior quarterback

He then followed a convoy of


defenders-turned-blockers 58
yards to the end zone, where
he was mobbed by his teammates.
It was Greens sixth career
interception the second he
returned for a touchdown.
It felt good, Green said.
Weve been practicing hard
to attack the ball, and I knew
that this was an opportunity
to break this little monkey off
our back.
Heading into the game,
the Tat Heel secondary had
become increasingly aware of
its inability to create an interception. But the frustration
became motivation.
In practice, we were going
after the ball no matter what,

Trump administration aims to change environmental policy


Market changes may
continue to undercut
coal energy use.
By Rebecca Ayers
Staff Writer

The last eight years of


environmental policy will
be challenged in Presidentelect Donald Trumps
administration.
Trump plans to repeal
some of President Barack
Obamas environmental regulations while implementing
policies that would encourage
oil, coal and natural gas pro-

duction.
He also appointed Myron
Ebell, director of the Center
for Energy and Environment
at the Competitive
Enterprise Institute and a
climate change-skeptic, as
head of his environmental
transition team.
Dan Crawford, director of
governmental relations for
the North Carolina League
of Conservation Voters, said
he was worried about Ebells
potential to be appointed as
director of the Environmental
Protection Agency.
The thought of a climate (change) denier being
involved with the EPA is

greatly concerning, and its


something the American people should be paying attention to, he said.
Brian Powell, spokesperson for the North Carolina
Conservation Network, said in
an email he is also troubled by
Trumps potential appointees.
These candidates, if confirmed, are likely to offer
private corporations full
access to regulate to their
own advantage at the expense
of the environment and the
health of the American people, Powell said.
Mitch Kokai, spokesperson for the John Locke
Foundation, said Trumps

environmental policies are


going to align more with
whats best for the economy.
(Trump) seems to be more
along the side of folks who
are interested in limiting government overreach and allowing market forces to play a
larger role in determining the
best environmental policy,
he said.
Victor Flatt, professor of
environmental law at the
UNC School of Law, said
regardless of the next EPA
director, the future for fighting against climate change
will be more difficult.
Im hoping that doesnt
completely derail all the prog-

ress weve made, he said.


Trump has also promised
to repeal the Clean Power
Plan, a policy from the Obama
administration to reduce
carbon pollution from power
plants, if the Supreme Court
doesnt first undo the plan.
Flatt said the Clean Power
Plan would soon be outdated
in four to five years anyway
because the goals for 2032
were too low and some states
had already met them.
He said despite Tumps
promises, the expanding
market for cheaper renewable
resources will block increases
in coal production.
The cost of a lot of renew-

ables and natural gas are just


going to keep undercutting
coal, he said. No one is going
to make a new coal plant and
eventually the market is going
to make coal obsolete.
Powell said he hopes the
American people will defend
the environment.
If we do see attacks to our
environmental and public
health protections, we will
fight those rollbacks as we
fought the numerous rollbacks proposed by the N.C.
legislature and Governor
McCrory over the past four
years, he said.

UNC groups put giving in Thanksgiving


By Jordan Howard
Staff Writer

Whether its the turkey in


the oven, the game on TV or
the family gathered around the
table that defines Thanksgiving
for you, this is a time to be
thankful for what you have.
Carolina Dining Services
wanted to serve UNC students, as well as the Chapel
Hill community, by hosting the second annual
Ramsgiving on Nov. 17.
CDS partnered with Brown
Bag Ministry, an organization
that helps to provide food to
the hungry in the Triangle, for
the event.
With the help of over 700
students, over 1,000 brown
bag meals were made and
approximately 800 were sent
to Durham Rescue Mission.
The other bags were sent
to various places throughout
the community.
Brittany Cook, marketing manager for CDS, said
they wanted to do more than
just serve food to students
with Ramsgiving by serving
people outside the campus
community.
The student response was
amazing, Cook said. Everyone
wanted to participate.
Cook said sending out so
much food to people outside
UNC was a new and rewarding experience.
Ive been in the business
for over 10 years, and Ive

never done anything like this


before, she said.
At Ramsgiving, there were
also different organizations
represented in the lobby area
that offered ways for students
to get involved locally.
One of them was TABLE,
a backpack program established in 2008 that aims to
provide healthy food to hungry kids in Chapel Hill and
Carrboro.
Typically, almost 400 kids
receive a bag of food from
TABLE every Thursday.
But this week, in honor of
Thanksgiving, theyre giving
two extra bags to each kid.
Volunteering, hosting a
food drive and donating food
are all ways that students are
able to be a part of TABLE,
said Ashton Tippins, the
executive director for TABLE.
My experience and time
with TABLE has made me
more aware of the need in our
community, and the different
stories and perspectives that
people have when they are
faced with hunger, she said.
There are also opportunities
for students to get involved
with organizations seeking to
make a difference on campus.
DAngelo Gatewood, a
junior from Wadesboro,
NC, is the vice chairperson
of finances for Carolina
Cupboard, an on-campus
food pantry that provides
food to students in need.
With Thanksgiving

Local groups are helping collect food for families who cannot afford much for the holidays.

approaching, Gatewood said


Carolina Cupboard is going
to have meal packages prepared for students who may
not have any food during
Thanksgiving break.
We want to make sure
that people do know that food
insecurity does exist, even
here at UNC, he said.
Gatewood said he wants
other students and organizations to get involved to help
raise more awareness about
food insecurity.
You cant save the whole
world or even save the whole

town, but you learn to enjoy


the fact that you can service
five people, he said.
Gatewood isnt the only
one who wants to shine a
light on food insecurity issues
in the Chapel Hill area.
Katie Nuccio, co-founder
and president of Food
Recovery Network, said she
was relatively unaware of
how serious food insecurity was before starting the
organization, which gathers leftovers from campus
eateries and takes them to
two facilities for people who

are homeless Community


House and HomeStart.
It was very eye opening
to see the kind of food waste
that we have in our society,
she said.
Open your eyes and
look for ways to give back
to the community this
Thanksgiving, whether its by
volunteering with an organization on campus or in the
local community there is
always a place and need for
you to serve.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

FEATURED ONLINE READER COMMENT

Annie Kiyonaga

fun social experiment:


walk into a Washington
D.C. public school and
mention Michelle Rhee.
Chaos ensues. Local parents
scream in horror; the Teachers
Union immediately materializes with pitchforks.
Rhee, who served as D.C.s
School Chancellor from 2007
to 2010, was initially regarded
as an efficient and visionary
education reformer, promising
to transform embarrassingly
underperforming public schools
by clearing out ineffective teachers and eliminating unsuccessful schools. She resigned after
closing 23 schools and firing at
least 241 teachers with minimal
public input
Being from the D.C. area
myself yes, The Daily Tar
Heel is lucky enough to employ
a REAL D.C. INSIDER I
remember Rhees reign. Her
aggressive purge of D.C. public
schools was hugely unpopular.
Rhee was even more controversial because of her strong
support for the Common Core
standards. Common Core,
developed in 2009 by state leaders from 48 states, was intended
to create a national movement
to better educate American kids
for college and careers, introducing stricter expectations in
English and math.
Much of the motivation
behind Common Core came
from a sense of international
panic. Funding for schools
that adopt the Common Core
standards is available through
Race to the Top grants, a name
that evokes a sense of Space
Race-era competition.
I would assume, given his
desire to make America great
again, that Trump would be in
favor of elevating U.S. education standards to a competitive
international level. Common
Core, though, has become a
partisan issue. Advocates for
states rights, usually conservatives, insist that federal education standards undermine the
voice of local people in their
childrens educations.
Throughout his campaign,
Trump repeatedly blasted
Common Core. He regarded
it as a disaster of an attempt
by the government to take
decisions away from parents
and local school boards. Gov.
Mike Pence made Indiana the
first state to adopt and reject
Common Core. And yet, when
looking for a new Secretary
of Education, Trump recently
met with Michelle Rhee.
Trumps potential appointment of Rhee seems completely
incongruous with his campaign
promises to forgo Washington
insiders and fight against
federal control of education.
Perhaps Trump simply resolved
himself to the inevitable mingling with Washingtonians that
accompanies the presidency, or
perhaps he doesnt understand
the apparent ferocity and magnitude of Rhees will.
Either way, I would love to
see Trump challenge Rhee on
the importance of national
standards for education.
Whether or not Rhees stronghanded version of educational
reform in D.C. was correct, I
believe that we need people
like Rhee in Trumps new government efficient, strongwilled, passionate people who
will, hopefully, fight for their
causes within our strange
new political context, even
if especially if that means
fighting against their new boss.

EDITORIAL

Not surprising to all


Donald Trump is
not the problem, he
only represents it.

ometimes the biggest jokes arent


funny at all, and
honestly no better notion
can sum up the most
recent presidential election cycle than that one.
When Donald Trump
announced his bid for
election, it was rousing.
The businessman-turnedreality-star had slim
chances to win and was
more reminiscent of a
walking meme than a realistic choice for president.
But, ever so gradually,
he rose to power atop a
platform of hate-filled
rhetoric supposedly supported by freedom of
speech. Many questioned
his legitimacy in the race,
and others feared for their
families and safety. Soon
his candidacy was more
reminiscent of a joke gone
way too far than a bid to
be the next president of
the United States.
As a result, on Nov.
9, when the electoral
votes were in and former
Secretary Hillary Clinton
conceded the election,
many Americans were
shocked. The public asked
how we could have taken so
many steps back after years
working towards tolerance.
Initially, there was a

very valid astonishment


felt by many who opposed
his ill-founded promises
of making America great
(see white) again. But
there was also a subgroup
of Americans who knew
his win was so unfortunately logical that it was
almost laughable.
Marginalized communities, to be specific,
are used to these kind of
things happening.
From a young age,
many Black and brown
kids learned histories of
not so happy endings
due to phenomena like
white privilege. Its one
that dates back to the
foundation of the United
States and one that put
Donald Trump in office.
Being used to such events
does not make his victory sting less, but its
just another example of
how white lives and white
voices are prioritized even
when it damages the lives
of marginalized groups.
As such, white
Americas surprise that a
man who spoke so awfully
about anyone who wasnt
a rich, straight, able-bodied, Christian, American
male, acts almost like a
micro-aggression. Its
a micro-aggression not
because its inconvenient,
but rather because the
surprise almost outs
anyone who wasnt paying attention to the racist

institutions that plague


the United States. The fact
is that, to be fair, Trump is
not the problem. Rather,
he is representative of all
of the systematic notions
of white supremacy
that the United States
was built on. Surely, he
exploited that.
For example, ask yourself how likely it is for a
man of any other background to perpetuate hate
against white American
males on a national scale
and still become president of the United States.
Then, ask yourself if even
the mention of that idea
is offensive.
Furthermore, try to
understand why its almost
impossible for an ethnic
minority in a position of
power to speak out against
white society without
repercussions.
When Donald Trump,
a white man can do it and
still become president, its
not something surprising,
its something symptomatic of a bigger issue. Even
today, with such an explicit example, some doubt
the power of white privilege. But in reality, its like
the wind in that although
we cant see it, we can all
feel its effects.
For the next four years
through Trumps presidency, we will be feeling
its effects in some very
explicit ways.

No hate in our state


Now is the time
for all to speak out
against hate.

he Ku Klux Klan is
holding a rally in
our state. The white
nationalist group or
more accurately, white terrorist group was thought
to have been driven into the
dark corners of the internet
and fringes of society. That
is no longer the case.
While the KKK largely
receded from the public,
other white nationalist organizations rose
to take its place, often
adopting a more modern approach to racism,
but it seems the original
is making a comeback.
Racism was omnipresent in American culture,
but the degree to which
it is societally acceptable
to be openly racist has
grown immensely.
Possibly even worse is
the news of known white
nationalists getting positions of power in the
upcoming administration.
This resurgence of
white nationalism needs

to be stopped, but why did


it arise in the first place?
It is probably because we
have tolerated microaggressions and more indirect hate for so long.
For a long time, U.S.
racial discourse essentially
centered on progressing
past a racial society. This
is something conservatives
have been saying for years.
In the past eight years,
the right criticized the left
for essentially grasping at
straws when talking about
racism. This often resulted
in the mocking and denial
of lived experiences of
people alive today, and
often they tried to counter
todays examples of racism
by invoking images of the
1960s as a time filled with
real racism.
Our question for this
group and for all of us is
this: Will you speak up
now?
We are now seeing the
resurgence of the same
organizations and actors
that lynched, killed and
terrorized mostly Black
people, but also Jewish
and other minority
groups, in the past.

They claim to be peaceful Christians, but they


said that in the 1960s too.
The right claims to
support individual liberties. That should extend
to the LGBTQ and Black
communities.
The right claims to support Israel, but will they
come to the aid of JewishAmericans being targeted
by white nationalists?
The history of this
brand of racism should
terrify every American,
including the moderates
who voted for Trump for
economic reasons.
This opinion page published a Quick Hit mocking evangelical Christians
who voted for Donald
Trump and received outcry from people identifying as such. While we still
do not understand how
you can balance a faith
built on love with support
for Trump, now is your
chance to prove us wrong.
Regardless of who you
voted for or why you did,
we have power to reverse
this wave of hatred.
The only question is, do
we care enough to do it?

TO THE EDITOR:
Marshall Wade responded to one of my letters and
asked how I could think
that left humanitarianism was an elite ideology.
He then proceeded to give
examples of people in
power acting against the
ideology but from a very
distinct, past historical
time period.
The answer to his question is simple: Catch up to
history.
Of course left humanitarianism was not always
an elite ideology. It is now.
In fact, it was on its way
to being the dominant ideology since the Progressive
Era in the United States,
and at least since the 90s
We Are the World generation, it has been.
Colonialism, certain
racial ideologies and all
the rest definitely used to
be dominant among certain civilizations at certain
times.
But we need to properly
analyze our CURRENT
conditions and stop
responding to historical
problems.

State Supreme Court


should reflect voters
The Nov. 8 election
for State Supreme Court
reflected the will of North
Carolina voters, when
Justice-elect Mike Morgan
won by about nine percentage points.
Now, state Republicans
want to use a special session on hurricane relief to
pack the court with two
more appointed seats in
order to regain GOP control of the states highest
court (News & Observer,
11/12/16, Packing N.C.s
high court for political
advantage would abuse the
legislative process).
This childish move by
state GOP lawmakers
would go against the very
idea that made our country
unique when it was founded more than 200 years
ago: the peaceful transition
of power.
It seems our GOP
representatives do not
respect this hallmark of
our democracy, and whats
worse, they are willing
to put the livelihoods of
thousands of people who
were affected by Hurricane
Matthew at risk.
This is a dirty political
trick, and one that brings
disgrace to our state.
We need to ensure that
our neighbors in eastern
North Carolina are not
political pawns, and that
the election process
which chose an intelligent,
qualified, responsible and
honorable person to serve
on the State Supreme
Court, fair and square
is protected.
The court should be
allowed to do its job and

uphold the rule of law without Republicans flooding it


with politics. GOP lawmakers should renounce this
plan today and allow the
will of voters to stand.
As our elected representatives, they do us a disservice by staying silent on
this matter.

The new normal after


Trump isnt so new
TO THE EDITOR:
In the upcoming weeks
after the election, we must
make sure that we do not
accept the new normal.
I say new because for
people of color, this has just
been normal.
Many have said what has
transpired in the wake of
the election has been disappointing and is not a reflection of Real America. In a
word, yikes.
Real America is black
lives not mattering.
Real America is ignoring
whats going on in North
Dakota.
Real America is hate
crimes spiking after the
election, but also the fact
that according to the FBI,
hate crimes spiked in 2015
overall, especially against
Muslim Americans.
So, there are two paths
you can take.
A: Not care at all and
continue to ignore oppressive power structures for
the sake of comfort
B: Realize that theres
more to being woke and do
something about it.
We can acknowledge that
we have privilege by being
at Chapel Hill but also realize that its a different world
for many of us.
We need empathy, open
ears and a willingness
to commit to change, as
uncomfortable as it may
be. Theres no time to wait
around for people to come
around.
Fighting the good fight
is more than just a safety
pin. Its putting yourself in
uncomfortable situations,
choosing truth over ease
and realizing that for the
sake of humanity, we have
to do something now.
Good luck.

BOG

chairperson of the Board of


Governors.
Chris Barker, a research
associate professor of genetics at UNC-Chapel Hill who
attended a plan forum at
UNC-CH, said the states lack
of support for the system will
make this goal difficult.
The state does not want to
put the level of support into
higher education anymore,
but they dont want to shoulder the responsibility for the
higher tuition, Barker said.
So whos to blame?

FROM PAGE 1
lays out the systems goal
to increase undergraduate
enrollment by a currentlyundecided number, with a
focus on increasing the percent of low-income students
by a similarly undecided
amount.
In 2015, 40 percent of instate students in the system
came from households with
an annual income of less than
$50,000, and 20 percent
from households making less
than $25,000.
Andrew Kelly, UNCsystem senior vice president
for strategy and policy, said
access for low income students would intersect with
access for other groups.
Youre gonna have a lot
of students from rural areas
in that low-income category,
youre gonna have a lot of
underrepresented minorities
in that low-income category
as well, he said.

Student success
The draft plan emphasizes
timely degree completion as a
way to increase student success.
According to the Pope
Center report, compared to
the whole system, the rate of
students who graduate within
six years was the highest at
UNC-CH over 90 percent
while at several minorityserving institutions the rates
were under 50 percent.
Bissette said changing student populations make four
or six-year graduation metrics
less straightforward.
Now a sizeable percentage
of our student population is
not your standard student,
he said. Theyre adults
theyre working, theyre parttime, and you cant say that
theyve got to get through in
four years.
The plan instead focuses
on degree efficiency, or the
number of undergraduate
degrees awarded per 100 fulltime students, as a metric.

Affordable, efficient
schools
According to a report
from the Pope Center for
Higher Education, tuition
and fees across the system
have increased by 65 percent
in the past 10 years. The
draft plan aims to tie annual
percent increases in undergraduate in-state tuition to
the rate of inflation.
Were trying to peg our
tuition rate increases to
something that people can
identify with the inflation
rate or the wage rate so
that our tuition does not
go up substantially higher
than what people are able
to afford, said Lou Bissette,

Economic impact and


community engagement
The plan would focus on

increasing STEM, health sciences and teaching degrees to


increase the systems impact
on the states economy.
I do think we need to try
to be sure that our university
system is doing the best job
that it can to produce students that go into the workforce where those jobs are
needed, Bissette said.
Barker said universities
should be careful steering
students into certain fields
and should focus on teaching
students how to reason and
solve problems.

Excellent and diverse


institutions
The draft plan encourages
each university to have a specialization.
Robinson said specialization is an efficient use of
resources.
N.C. State has a great
engineering school, it would
be a waste of money and
resources to try and replicate
that on other campuses, she
said.
The plan also places an
emphasis on faculty retention. Barker said the high
number of fixed-term faculty in the system causes low
retention.
In many cases theres no
path forward for fixed-term
faculty, he said.
Bissette said salaries have a
lot to do with retention.
During the recession, I
think there werent a lot of
raises, and so there were concerns that we could have really fantastic faculty members,
fantastic teachers being lured
away by more money from
other institutions, he said.

ACTION

FROM PAGE 1

certain justices would have to


retire from the court for that
to happen.
Fisher was a 4-3 decision
Kennedy, Ginsburg, Breyer
and Sotomayor. Kagan was
disqualified from the case but
everyone believes Kagan will
vote to uphold affirmative
action, he said. So long as
those five justices are present,
affirmative action will survive.
Chemerinsky said another
conservative on the court
could sway the court to overrule Fisher and eliminate
affirmative action.
Now that the Supreme
Court has made it clear that
affirmative action is constitutional, thats how the
lower courts have to rule,
Chemerinsky said. If the
Supreme Court changes its
mind, then the lower courts
will come to a different conclusion. Fisher is quite definitive that affirmative action is
constitutional.
Blum was a part of the
Fisher case and worked closely with attorneys throughout
the case. He believes the
Supreme Court got it wrong.
Sixty-five percent of the
American public believed
that the Supreme Court ruled
incorrectly in the Fisher case,
and its interesting that even a
majority of African-Americans
who were asked about the
use of race in university
admissions believes that the
Supreme Court got it wrong,
Blum said, citing a Gallup poll
done shortly after the ruling.

UNC admissions
Stephen Farmer, vice
provost for enrollment and

undergraduate admissions
at UNC, was unable to talk
about the pending lawsuit
against UNC, but he said the
admissions office looks at
students as individuals and
does not group them or place
labels on them based on race
or any other demographic.
The fact of the matter is
that no two students are the
same, he said. Putting a
label on a student and assuming that the student is the
same as another person who
could bear the same label just
does not make sense to us.
The admissions process is
more than just one person
reading an application and
making a decision, he said.
Theres kind of an internal
dialogue that I think keeps
us honest and also keeps us
pushing forward and trying
to understand students more
effectively, Farmer said.
Another check is students
ability to appeal their decision
if they believe the office got it
wrong, granting the student a
new and separate review.
Farmer estimated there
are between 80 and 120
appeals each year, but most
arent successful because of
the quality control measures
before decisions are sent out.
We know that no student
can fully be represented
through an application for
admission. We know that
every student is capable of
more than we can really know
and maybe in some cases,
capable of more than the
student really knows, Farmer
said. We really believe that
were admitting people to the
University who will benefit
from the experience here and
will be a blessing to others.

FOOTBALL

FROM PAGE 1

Green said. Thats one thing


I was thinking about the
whole week: We were so close
and had so many opportunities to get the ball and we
didnt take advantage of it. I
was thinking the whole week,
Once the ball touches our
hands, we gotta get it.
For a secondary that
boasts one of the better starting cornerback pairs in the
country in Des Lawrence and
M.J. Stewart, it was a humbling experience.
It was a bad feeling,
Green said. We knew it was
all on us. And to see that we
were the only team in college
football that didnt have an
interception, we knew that we
had to make a change.
While North Carolina
didnt overhaul its defense,
Stewart pointed to the little
things the defensive backs did
to better prepare themselves
when passes came their way.
These past three weeks,
weve been on the ball
machine after practice,
Stewart said. We made a big
emphasis on going to get the
ball instead of waiting for it to
come to us.
It would be easy for Green
to come into practice next
week and remind his teammates he was the hero who
broke the curse. But Stewart
would be surprised if that
happened.
Greens pretty mellow,
Stewart said. So its gonna be
the reverse, and were gonna
let him hear about it.
Every time we see him,
were gonna call him pick-six

Farmers market celebrates Thanksgiving with tasty competition


Pie makers used local
ingredients to make
savory and sweet pies.

for visitors of the market to


come and sample the goods
and cast their vote.
Categories included best
sweet, best savory, best use
of market ingredients and
most creative. Winners
of the competition would
receive a market bundle,
which included a t-shirt, a
tote bag and a gift card.
Braedyn Mallard, one of the
market managers, said apart
from the opportunity to taste
delicious pies for free, the best
part of the competition is the
chance to try something new.
People always do things
that maybe youve never
thought of, he said. People
expect sweet pies. But I think
the most surprising thing is
people sometimes come and
they taste savory pies and
they realize Oh I could for
a holiday party or for a meal

By JP Gemborys
Staff Writer

On a crisp November
morning, a procession of
voters lined up to cast their
ballot for the candidate
they thought was best, only
this was a short line and it
involved tiny spoons.
The Chapel Hill Farmers
Market at University Place
held its annual pie competition this year, which boasted
a cornucopia of pastries ranging from sweet to savory.
The competition, which
happens every year in anticipation of Thanksgiving, had
competitors bring their pies

make a savory pie with all


these fresh market ingredients and its amazing.
The market, which provides fresh, local produce
from various farmers and
artisans within a 60-mile
radius of Chapel Hill, encourages competitors to use fresh
ingredients, especially those
from the market.
Claudia Sanders, a frequenter of the market and
past winner of the competition, brought a shepherds pie
this year and discussed the
wide variety of fresh food that
the market provides.
Weve got everything from
milk, cheese, eggs, bread and
everything else under the sun
and coffee, she said.
Sanders shepherds pie
which is made with locally
sourced ingredients has won
at the pie competition before.

I used all the ingredients


from the farmers market so its
roasted root vegetables including kohlrabi, baby turnips,
carrots and then a sweet potato
topping and a ground lamb
I even used some Mystery
Brewing beer, she said.
Competitors included customers of the market as well
as the vendors and farmers
who made up the market.
Margret Mueller of Seeing
Stars Farm brought a kale
and sausage pie to the competition and said the use of
fresh ingredients encourages
bakers to be creative.
We try to use as many market ingredients as we can, she
said. It does encourage people
to do creative things with fresh
ingredients.
Muellers pie also included
a wide variety of ingredients
from the farmers market.

DTH/CALEECE NASH
Chapel Hill Farmers Market held a pie competition on Saturday.
Local residents tasted the pies and voted on their favorite.

It had eggs from here, it


had sausage from here, it had
kale, garlic and onions from
here and it had mozzarella
cheese from here, she said.

Its nappening: Union allows sleeping


The Meditation Room
took away its policy
against sleeping.
By Dhvani Bhatia
Staff Writer

The meditation room in


the Carolina Union will also
function as a napping space
due to recent policy changes
made by the Carolina Union
Board of Directors.
Board of Directors chairperson Boateng Kubi led the
initiative to create a napping
space on campus.
We realized that after
observing it for about a twoweek period, the students
were just not using it as
frequently as we would like,
Kubi said.
The Meditation Room was
established with an $11,000
gift designed to provide a
place for calm and relaxation.
I personally wanted to figure out why students werent
using the room, Kubi said.
So, I posed the question to the
Board to make sure students
know that the room was there
and what it was being used for.
In the Meditation Room,
there are mats and cushions
on the floor where students

can nap. All other policies,


such as no food or photography in the room, will remain
the same. The room will not
be reservable and will remain
open to all students.
I think its a good idea.
People like to take naps
everywhere, Colton Sanders,
a first-year mathematics
major, said.
Taylor Bates, president
of the Resident Housing
Association and member of
the Board of Directors, said
there is a need for a napping
space on campus.
Furniture changes in the
Undergraduate Library have
created a demand for a napping space, Bates said. Were
hoping that the policy change
will increase the usage of the
meditation space.
TJ Tucker, a first-year business and economics major,
said he wasnt aware that
there was a meditation room
in the Union.
I definitely feel that a napping space would be a nice
commodity to have, Tucker
said.
Tucker said he would use
the Meditation Room now
that he knows it exists.
I usually take naps in
the Student Union between
classes now on couches or

DTH/NICK BAFIA
Napping is now allowed in the Meditation Room in the Carolina Underground, which is in the lowest level of the Student Union.

anywhere I can find a place,


Tucker said. I feel that the
napping place would be a lot
more comfortable and a lot
more accessible.
Kubi said the name of the
Meditation Room will stay

the same and the furniture


will not change.
The decision of creating the napping space in the
Union was because theres
currently no place on campus
for students to rejuvenate,

Kubi said.
Kubi and Bates both said
they expect the policy change
will increase the usage of the
room. They said they have
already seen students taking
naps in the room.

Because its in the middle


of campus, especially between
classes, I feel like the space
is a good idea, Sanders said.
Its easily accessible.

First-years outraged by construction at Ehringhaus


Students started
a petition to show
their discontent.
By Allie Mobley
Staff Writer

Roof replacement at
Ehringhaus Residence
Hall has been going on for
more than a month, and the
ruckus of construction is
causing some annoyance for
residents.
First-year Hannah Dove
started a petition to send to
University administrators in
hopes of improving their situ-

ation by raising awareness of


the residents discontent with
the noise and other issues filtering through their windows.
The petition will hopefully
make our voices and concerns
heard, Dove said.
We dont think its fair
for us to be paying the same
amount of money for our
rooms if we cant be in it
Monday through Friday from
eight to sundown.
Dove said she and her
roommate are woken up
early by the sounds of construction on the roof and
cant sleep or study in their
rooms all day.
She said dirt falling from

Nathan Fold, another
Ehringhaus resident, said
he did not sign the petition
because the noise hasnt
affected him living on the
second floor.
It has been noisy sometimes and Ive heard a lot of
complaints from my friends
who live on the sixth floor,

Fold said.
Ehringhaus resident Julia
Slawek said she and her
roommate both signed the
petition.
Ive experienced being
woken up at 8 a.m. to the
sound of hammering after
staying up late doing homework, which is frustrating
because I dont have class
until 11 a.m., so Im losing
sleep, Slawek said. Im on
the fourth floor so I probably have it better than the
people on the sixth floor, but
its still annoying.
Slawek said she wasnt sure
why the construction was not
done over the summer.

First-year Laura Killian


said she also signed the petition because the construction
has been affecting her sleeping and studying.
Killian said she doesnt
keep her blinds open because
she feels she doesnt have privacy with the people going up
and down the ladder outside
her room.
I also prefer studying in
my room, but I have not since
construction started, Killian
said. It is difficult to study
when there is constant banging and drilling until the evening each day.

Field hockey falls short in title game


UNC has
finished in
2nd place
fives times
since 2009
FIELD HOCKEY

DELAWARE3
NORTH CAROLINA 2
By John Bauman and
Will Bryant
Staff Writers

NORFOLK, Virginia The


North Carolina field hockey
team was one goal away.
After falling behind 2-0
against Delaware, the Tar
Heels battled back to tie the
game with 7:24 left. But
less than two minutes later,
the Blue Hens Greta Nauck
scored to put Delaware up for
good, 3-2.
North Carolina fell just
short for the seventh straight
year in its quest to win the
national championship.
It hurts bad, Coach Karen
Shelton said. Because I

love the University of North


Carolina and I am absolutely
driven to try and bring distinction to the University.
And first is a lot different
than second. I hate to say it. It
shouldnt be that big of a difference, but it sure is. And so it
hurts me that we get this close.
North Carolina was playing
in the championship game
Sunday for the 17th time in
school history. The Tar Heels
last won in 2009 and finished
as the NCAA runner-up four
times: 2010, 2011, 2012 and
2015. The team, especially its
senior leaders, wanted nothing more than to win another
one for its coach after so
much heartbreak.
Coach has been unbelievable, redshirt senior Emma
Bozek said. And our whole
team has talked about how
that was one of the people we
wanted to play for today.
She definitely, out of anyone, really deserved this win.
And we all wanted it for her.
Nauck scored a goal less
than 10 minutes into the game
for Delaware to put UNC on
its heels early. With momentum on their side, the Blue
Hens pushed across a second
goal before halftime to put
North Carolina in a 2-0 hole.
At intermission, the Tar
Heels believed they could still
win it led by the passion of
their senior captains: Bozek,

Julia Young and Lauren Moyer.


That was our whole halftime speech, Bozek said.
Youve got to believe. Youve
got to know that we can do
this. And we came back and
we tied up the game.
Moyer stepped up in a big
way, as she had all season
as the Tar Heels emotional
leader. She found the back of
the cage less than three minutes after the break to cut the
Hens lead in half. It was her
24th goal this season, nearly
tripling the total for any of
her teammates.
She knew the Tar Heels
could come back from a twogoal deficit the team had
done it against Louisville two
weeks earlier. The Tar Heels
fell behind 2-0 in that game
and fought back to advance in
the ACC Tournament.
Knowing we can crawl
back, even when were down,
its nice to know we have that
ability, Moyer said after the
win over Louisville.
The title-game comeback
was completed when first-year
Megan DuVernois scored in
the 63rd minute off an assist
from Malin Evert. The game
was tied 2-2, and the Tar
Heels were right back in it.
But Nauck came up big
again for Delaware in the 65th
minute. Her second goal of the
day delivered the Blue Hens a
national championship.

DTH/SARAH DWYER
Seniors Lauren Moyer (2) and Emma Bozek (14) walk off the field after their 3-2 loss to Delaware.

Taylor Lister knocked a


pass from UNC first-year Eef
Andriessen out of the air and
found Nauck in the circle.
The sophomore did the rest,
finding the back of the cage to
put Delaware back on top.
I can see that pretty
clearly, Shelton said. (Lister)
made a great play and I think
it was a big mistake in our
backfield to make a facing
your own goal a backhand
pass like that.
The Tar Heels were chas-

ing redemption all season long. They got some,


defeating then-top-ranked
Syracuse earlier in the season
and beating Connecticut
the team that knocked them
out in 2013 in the national
semifinal.
But they ended up just
short.
I think in the beginning
of the season, we struggled
to play with heart, redshirt
junior Sam Night said. And
I think today, we did play

with heart, and the technical things were maybe what


failed us.
After the game, Shelton sat
with Night and Bozek, whose
careers at UNC had come to
an end. Outside, Delawares
fans and players were celebrating on the field.
The trio, each tired from
battle and teary-eyed after
defeat, shared a hug.

Underclassmen lead UNC womens soccer once again


WOMENS SOCCER

NORTH CAROLINA 1
CLEMSON0
By Jeremy Vernon
Assistant Sports Editor

The North Carolina womens soccer team has relied


on its underclassmen all season long a trend that continued this weekend as the
Tar Heels took down Kansas
and Clemson to advance
to the NCAA Tournament
quarterfinals for the first
time since 2013.
For the majority of the
regular season, first-years
Zoe Redei and Bridgette
Andrzejewski carried North
Carolina, which came into
the season unsure who would
bear the scoring burden.
Redei scored three times in
the Tar Heels first five games
of the season, but she missed
eight games down the stretch
with an ankle injury. Picking

up where her teammate left


off, Andrzejewski tallied
seven goals in conference play
and earned ACC Freshman of
the Year honors.
But in the past three weeks,
its been first-year Madison
Schultz who has stepped
up the most. In UNCs 2-0
win over Kansas on Friday,
the forward from Edmonds,
Washington, tallied the gamewinning goal her fourth in a
six-game stretch to give the
Tar Heels a lead they wouldnt
relinquish.
She took the game
over, Head Coach Anson
Dorrance said. Its probably
the best game shes played as
a Tar Heel.
Schultz started the second
half up top with Andrzejewski
and Redei after a stellar
first-half performance. Just
over seven minutes later, she
lofted a left-footed shot over
the Jayhawk keeper, off the
crossbar and into the back of
the net.
I didnt hit it as cleanly as I

wanted to, and I was quite disappointed with myself, Schultz


said. And then I saw it bounce
back up and hit the upper net,
and then I was kind of relieved
to see that it went in.
North Carolina faced a
tougher test in its 1-0 win
over Clemson on Sunday,
turning to a pair of sophomores to help lead the way.
The Tar Heels tied the
Tigers earlier in the season, as
they struggled to get more than
one goal against first-team AllACC keeper Kailen Sheridan.
UNC knew it would need
something miraculous to beat
the senior Sunday and it got
just that in the 71st minute.
After receiving the ball at
the top of the box, sophomore
midfielder Dorian Bailey took
one dribble and unleashed a
rocket to the upper right-corner. The ball bounced off the
left post and in, giving UNC
a 1-0 lead. Bailey admitted
the shot was a change of pace
from her normal routine.
I cant tell you how many

Cherry gives womens


basketball late spark
WOMENS BASKETBALL

NORTH CAROLINA
65
BUCKNELL50
By Alex Zietlow
Staff Writer

The North Carolina womens basketball team found its spark on Sunday,
even if it didnt come until late.
Bucknell (3-1) proved tough against
the Tar Heels (3-0), not shying away
from playing fast and aggressive on both
sides of the court in UNCs 65-50 win.
The Bison pounced immediately,
snagging five offensive boards in the first
10 minutes. As the game wore on, however, the battle on the boards evened out.
Head Coach Sylvia Hatchell was
satisfied with her teams efforts on the
glass. Coming into Sunday, Bucknell had
out-rebounded opponents by a margin
of 22 per game, and the Bison had the
rebounding advantage against 60 of
their last 66 opponents.
We lost it by four, so thats pretty
good Hatchell said. Rebounding is
heart toughness and heart and I
think we showed a lot of that.
UNC also struggled from the floor.
Stephanie Watts the 2016 ACC
Freshman of the Year and the Tar Heels
leading scorer took a while to come
alive, shooting 2-of-11 in the first half.
It wasnt until the middle of the fourth
quarter when Watts snapped out of her
funk, ending with a team-high 17 points.
My team and my coaches always keep

confidence in me, Watts said. I think


my teammates did a really good job of
finding me, setting screens and getting
to the basket to help me do that.
But junior guard Jamie Cherry was the
steady force for her team early. She played
35 minutes, sitting mainly after she cut her
left arm in the first quarter. She returned
with a bandage, and later a sleeve.
Whenever the Tar Heels needed a
spark, Cherry was the lighter. No matter
what was needed diving on the floor
for a loose ball, taking a charge or finishing over a bigger defender on an important possession she made it happen.
The veteran playmaker from Cove
City, North Carolina, took control of the
offense when her team was struggling to
put the ball in the basket. She finished
second on the team with 15 points and
had a game-high six assists.
Her confidence in North Carolinas
perimeter shooting never wavered,
despite the teams first half troubles.
I trust my teammates to the point that
is unbelievable, she said. And I know
that Steph and them are great shooters,
so it is just a matter of them getting more
shots up, and they will hit them.
The game was played up-tempo
throughout, a style Hatchell has
employed since inheriting the program.
Aided by veteran leadership during a
first-half lull, the game plan worked.
We want to wear the other team down
and control the tempo, Hatchell said.
Because you never know when one of
these guys are going to start lighting it up.

times Ive been in that situation where Im just sitting


there at the top of the box,
one player to beat, and I think
a lot of times I pass it off, she
said. I dont take the opportunity. So I just took a touch
to the left and hit it and was
just hoping for the best.
With a one-goal lead and
19 minutes left to play, it was
up to the Tar Heels defense to
make sure Clemson couldnt
equalize. And thanks to sophomore defender Julia Ashley,
the Tigers didnt find the goal.
Ashley was the most consistent player on the back line
all weekend for UNC. She won
50-50 balls, made key tackles and cleared the ball from
danger time and time again.
It was the type of aggressive
play Dorrance saw from her in
practice last week.
Julias practice on
Thursday was one of the
greatest practices Ive ever
seen a defender have ...
Dorrance said. She was

mering everyone, clearing


balls like 80 yards.
North Carolina has relied
on its underclassmen out of
necessity this season after losing so many players from its
2015 squad. But the younger
players have proved that they

can play well beyond their


level of experience and
they will continued to be
called on as the Tar Heels
work their way toward a 23rd
national title.

Mens soccer fights back in NCAA win


MENS SOCCER

NORTH CAROLINA
3
FLORIDA GULF COAST 2
By David Adler
Senior Writer

The 2016 North Carolina


mens soccer team has never
lacked talent. But it has lacked
toughness.
The Tar Heels have always
been able to play from ahead,
but they have folded when
theyve needed to come back. In
its losses, North Carolina (123-3) presses when down a goal,
often playing in a state of shock
while dwelling on what happened before.
But there was no time to
dwell Sunday night when the
Tar Heels trailed Florida Gulf
Coast (14-4-3) 2-1 with just
under 19 minutes remaining in
the second round of the NCAA
Tournament at Fetzer Field.
After UNC tied the game in
regulation, redshirt senior forward Tucker Hume scored the
golden goal in double overtime
with a header to the near post
off Nico Melos cross. As Hume
ripped his shirt off and dove to
the ground in celebration following the 3-2 victory, a weight was
lifted off the entire team.
It didnt matter that the best
defense in mens collegiate soccer
committed a cardinal sin in the
72nd minute when it fouled the
Eagles in the box when they were

a man down, resulting in a penalty kick that put Florida Gulf


Coast up 2-1.
This was a different team a
composed team.
I think thats part of the
teams evolution this year, Head
Coach Carlos Somoano said. We
havent kept our composure well
and thats one of the things thats
plagued us.
Its been something weve
been talking about all year long,
that it does no good to think
about anything besides the
immediate needs and objectives
in the game.
After falling behind in games
against Virginia and Boston
College, North Carolina had
plenty of opportunities to fight
back. But the Tar Heels could
never find a rhythm, halting any
hopes of a comeback attempt.
But with their backs against
the wall in an elimination game,
they had no choice but to fight.
With less than five minutes
remaining and still down a goal,
North Carolina continued to
patiently attack. There were no
one-man heroics or prayer shots
from well outside the box.
After Alan Winn and Melo
played a nice two-man game,
Winn had a run on the end
line. He could have fired a lowpercentage shot from a bad
angle, but he instead delivered
a pinpoint pass to forward Nils
Bruening, who beat Florida Gulf
Coast goalkeeper Jared Brown to
give the Tar Heels the equalizer.
Even though UNC was min-

I knew that with


enough time we were
going to be able to
get the equalizer.
Tucker Hume
Redshirt senior forward

utes away from a premature


season-ending loss, the team
remained confident in the face of
adversity.
Obviously them getting up
2-1, we knew we were still in the
game, Hume said. We talked
about staying calm whether we
go down a goal or whether we go
up a goal.
We had chances, so I knew
that with enough time we were
going to be able to get the equalizer and eventually get the win.
Following North Carolinas
stunning 1-0 loss to Boston
College in the ACC Tournament
quarterfinals, the team had two
weeks to find out what it was
before it began play in the NCAA
Tournament. As crushing as the
loss was, it gave the team time to
do some soul-searching.
We would have liked to have
won the ACC Tournament, Melo
said. But I think that it was
important for us to get our heads
right because we wouldnt be in
the mental state were in now.
The Tar Heels have always had
the talent. But now, they could
have the toughness to match.
