Hicks headlines in UNC win Trans rights

case sent
back to
appeals
Title IX implications are unclear
without Obama-era guidance.
By Hanna Grimm
Staff Writer

The U.S. Supreme Court sent a case

dealing with bathroom protections back to
a lower court Monday after the Donald
Trump administration rescinded protec-
tions for transgender students last month.
The case, G.G. v. Gloucester County
School Board, will now be reheard by the
U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Gavin Grimm, a transgender student
from Virginia and the plaintiff of the case,
was denied access to the bathroom match-
ing his gender identity in a public school in
2014.
Before guidance from the Obama
administration which extended Title IX
protections to include transgender students
was removed by the Trump presidency,
Grimms case was a slam dunk, said
Maxine Eichner, a UNC law professor.
Essentially what the G.G. case had
said is that courts have to defer to the
Department of Educations interpretation
of Title IX, and that interpretation clearly
said that trans youth have to be allowed
access to the bathroom that comports with
their gender identity, she said.
DTH/ALEX KORMANN The question now becomes whether
North Carolina forward Isaiah Hicks (4) works on a Miami defender in the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament in Brooklyn on Thursday. Title IX protections against sex discrimi-
nation extend to transgender students,

The senior scored 19 points Thursday against Miami Eichner said.

BROOKLYN Spin the ball.
Dribble once. Twice. A third
time. One more spin for good
measure. Then let it go.
Theres not much concern with
Isaiah Hicks free-throw routine,
but it didnt used to be this way.
In his first two seasons with the
North Carolina mens basketball
team, he shot a combined 61.3
percent from the charity stripe.
But now those makes and
misses dont matter. Or, rather, it
helps to not pay much attention
to them. Now its about the spins
and dribbles. The process.
Against Miami in the ACC
Tournament quarterfinals
Thursday, the senior forward ran
through his routine nine times.
And nine times the ball swished
through the net. He carried the
mindset over to the rest of his
game, too, scoring a team-high 19
points and leading the Tar Heels
to a 78-53 win.
Tonight he clearly wasnt
thinking, Nate Britt said. I think
throughout the season hes had
some games where hes think-
ing about what hes doing too
much. And we just need him to be
aggressive.
Not long ago, Hicks thought
his way into a bad slump. In his
first five games back on the court
after injuring his hamstring on
Feb. 8, he averaged 5.4 points per
contest. He was also constantly in

The issue is whether the language of
the prohibition on sex discrimination in
fact guarantees trans youth the right to
bathrooms that comport with their gender
identity, she said.
A memo sent by the Trump administra-
tion said the letter was rescinded because
of conflicting legal rulings in the lower
courts and not because of re-evaluation of
their policies, said Joshua Block, Grimms
lead attorney, in a letter to the court.

Elections today with two candidates and multiple write-ins

Candidates are relieved to
have the election today,
some students unsure.
By Brinley Lowe
Senior Writer
After eight complaints, two
injunctions, seven hearings and
two candidate disqualifications, the
student body president election will
happen today, almost a month after
the original election day Feb. 14.
Maurice Grier and Elizabeth
Adkins are the two candidates on
the ballot, and several people are
running write-in campaigns.
UNC Board of Elections chair-
person Paul Kushner said the board
met Wednesday night and decided it
would be better to have the election
before spring break.
It was supposed to have already
happened twice, he said. I think
the overriding notion was it was
supposed to have already happened,
so we should do our best to get this
done as close to when it was sup-
posed to happen as possible.
Adkins said she was relieved
when she found out the election
would be held Friday.
I think that I speak for a lot of
people when I say that were ready to
get this show on the road and ready
to get the ball rolling and ready to
finally have an election that is about
a month overdue, she said.
Adkins said she will be in Chapel
Hill to hear the election results.
I think even if I did have spring
break plans, I would probably
have to postpone them, because I
wouldnt want to miss hearing those
long, long awaited election results,
she said.
Grier said he will also be in
Chapel Hill for the election.
(The election) is definitely hap-
pening at a time that none of us
expected it to, so Im just rolling
with the punches, he said.
He said he is a little nervous that
the election is so soon.
Theres nothing I can do but just
hope that the rest of campus and the
student body understand and really
want to move forward with this con-
cept of LOVE, he said.
Cara Pugh, a junior public policy
major, said she decided to run as a
write-in candidate Thursday morn-
ing.
Pugh, who is running on a plat-
form of transparency, said she sees
the opportunity to give power to
the student voice with the write-in
option. DTH FILE/RYAN HERRON

Economic terrorism bill would increase penalties for protest

The proposal aims
to lessen protests
business impacts.
By Natalie Short
Staff Writer
A bill introduced by
Republicans in the N.C.
General Assembly would enact
stricter penalties on protesters
disrupting the economic activ-
ity of businesses in the state.
The bill creates the crime
of economic terrorism,
which is defined as an act
obstructing regular business
if the obstruction causes more
than $1,000 in damages and
is intended to influence gov-
ernment officials.
The proposal comes in
the wake of protests nation-
wide and in North Carolina,
including the Womens March
on Raleigh and the Charlotte
protests after the Keith
Lamont Scott shooting.
Mitch Kokai, senior politi-
cal analyst at the conserva-
tive John Locke Foundation,
pointed to the violent offend-
ers in the Charlotte protests as
a demonstration of the need
for additional restrictions.
These were folks who
went to the protest with the
intent of wreaking havoc and
causing damage, he said.
And so they took what was
initially a very emotional but
focused and lawful protest
and turned it into a riot.
Mike Meno, communica-
tions director for the N.C.
ACLU, said he questioned the
need for more legislation, as
there are already laws in place
to discourage violent protests.
It leads to some real ques-
tions about what the true
intent is here, Meno said.
Kokai said economic and
traffic disruption are separate
issues to address legally.
This is addressing some-
thing that has a negative
impact on other peoples lib-
erty and freedom, but doesnt
rise to the level of vandalism,
he said.

I saw a pop-punk show by Waterparks
By Karyn Hladik-Brown
Staff Writer
I consider myself to be the
biggest Waterparks fan at
UNC, if not the Triangle.
This was proven Monday,
March 6, at Waterparks sold-
out show at Local 506.
(By the way, Im not talking
about a theme park here
Waterparks is a three-person
pop-punk outfit based in
Houston.)
To introduce the song
Mad All The Time, lead
singer and guitarist of
Waterparks, Awsten Knight,
told the crowd that he wrote
that song after he dropped
out of college.
After yelling fuck school,
he noticed that I was one of
the two college students in
the crowd (the other one was
my best friend).
Youll do great, or what-
ever, Knight said.
Awsten, I now hold you
entirely responsible for my
GPA for the next three years.
The show opened with a
Durham-based band, The

We must
stand
with our
schools
M
any people in
America are unhap-
py with the direction
that public education has taken
over the last two decades. As
one of these Americans, I knew
that education would take a
nose dive with the appointment
of Betsy DeVos as Secretary
of Education earlier this year.
I did not, however, think that
the first education bill under
President Agent Orange would
be this insidious.
First introduced in late
January by Republican Rep.
Steve King of Iowa, House Bill
610, tentatively titled Choices
in Education Act of 2017,
comes straight out of a Ronald
Reagan dream world. In short,
it effectively begins the process
of defunding public schools
completely.
To start, the bill repeals the
Elementary and Secondary
Education Act of 1965, the
most far-reaching education
act ever passed by Congress.
ESEA funds primary and
secondary schools and empha-
sizes equal access and oppor-
tunity among historically
underrepresented and disad-
vantaged groups such as racial
minorities and children with
disabilities, among others.
The bill would also repeal
a specific rule that establishes
certain nutritional require-
ments for school breakfast and
lunch. This ignores the simple
fact that hungry kids cannot
learn. Taking basic nutritional
requirements out of school
breakfast and lunch does little
for their overall well-being,
much less to create a better
school environment.
If the two previous sections
of this bill werent bad enough,
part three is even worse. The
bill would create a school
voucher program that would
allow parents to take public
school funds to provide private
school tuition to their stu-
dents. Under the bill, parents
would also have the choice
to use the voucher to provide
homeschooling.
The bill would limit the
authority of the Department of
Education to distribute grants
to state governments. Under
HR 610, the DOE would only
be authorized to distribute
grants to qualifying states.
These states would have to
agree to all terms of the vouch-
er system to qualify.
To be blunt, I am sickened by
the thought of this bill passing.
Let me be clear: I have no prob-
lem with private or parochial
schools, nor do I have an issue
with homeschooling. I am, how-
ever, wholeheartedly against
the idea that it is okay to strip
funding from already struggling
public schools to give students
and parents choice in where
they attend school.
The idea of school choice,
especially as it relates to driv-
ing competition, made no sense
whatsoever. The idea that taking
money from public schools will
somehow make them better or
push them to become better as
a means of retaining students is
not only implausible but simply
a stupid assertion to make.
Neither our public schools
nor our students can compete
academically with other global
leaders if we take away basic
necessities like nutritional
lunches and proper funding.
Until we as a nation realize
that, we will continue the
downward spiral we have been
in for decades.
NEXT
IT IS SPRING BREAK! Be safe
and have fun!

HB2, locked in politics

public statements, its not
hard to see why.
On the one hand, you

Speaker Tim Moore, who

rooms. On Feb. 15 of this

how wrap my mind around

It reminds me that, if we

But that line reminds me
that our democracy needs
more than information to
stay alive.
This line and all of that
text plants little seeds of
doubt in the faith I place in
social sciences to both model

more just world.
Rousseau weaves a theory
that compassion is as foun-
dational as reason to being
human.
It suggests that no
amount of information, no
clarity of logic, no purity
of calculations could make
people act justly if we lack
the ability to deeply identify
with one anothers pain and
happiness.
In this scheme, the unnat-

into courses in international

my own statistical models
to predict political behavior.
And I know that the experts
in the social sciences are
wielding these statistical
tools with much more wis-

But they are powerful,
change-affecting tools; in
the pop science world of
big data, the non-experts
wielding them may lead us
down paths that may be
neither elucidating nor pre-
scriptive.
I love these tools.
But I have to remind
myself sometimes that
they are tools we wield to
approximate sometimes
very well the motivations
and actions of the world
around us.
It is with some prodding
that I remember that they
are incredibly powerful and
useful tools, but they do
not always illuminate the
most human, most just path
ahead.
From the injunction that
if I have not love then Im a
clanging symbol to the age-
old call for guiding wisdom,
history urges us to wield
big data with caution and
empathy.
What if I can use statis-
tics to dissect and describe
a phenomenon of hate, but
cannot model anything
that will inspire someone
to empathize with their
victim?
I admit that I am worried
about how to study politics
in a way that can actively
preserve our liberal democ-
racy; Im not sure if my tools
are right or that my direction
is always wise.
But what I do know is that
the moment I forget that
an injustice against another
citizen is an injustice against
myself, thats where Id fail.

Nicole Greenes confidence never in doubt
Sophomore
standout
succeeds
on and off
the track
By James Tatter
Staff Writer

A few cautious bounds,

a skip and a hop, a full on
sprint and then shes off the
ground. There goes Nicole
Greene, repeating her ritual-
istic run-up to the high jump.
She hangs suspended,
manipulating every muscle in
her body to turn over onto her
back in mid-air, as she glides
a few inches over the bar. She
lands softly on the foam pit
and bounces immediately up.
Looking to her coach, she sig-
nals: Raise the bar.
Nicole will clear that next
height, and then another.
She believes she can, and you
should, too.
She has the perfect balance
between cocky and confident,
teammate Tish Dixon said.
Nicole, a sophomore, has
warranted that confidence
with her resume. The two-time
NCAA championship-qualifier
has also made Deans List in
each of her three semesters at
the University. North Carolina
sports psychologist Elizabeth
Hedgpeth sees an intersection
between Nicoles convictions as
an athlete and as an academic.
Surgeons are not always
right, Hedgpeth said, but
theyre never in doubt.
She has that mentality.
The analogy is apt, as
Nicole is studying with plans
to go to medical school.
Jumps assistant coach
Nicole Hudson, a former UNC
high jumper herself, was the
first at the University to clear
the six-foot mark there had
only been six ever in school
history. Now Nicole is the
seventh.
Hudson first noticed the
assuredness in a meet Nicoles
first year.
The race organizers had
recruited Olympic talent to
bolster the competition. Nicole
still kept pace with Olympic
bronze-medalist heptathlete
Brianne Theisen Eaton.
For you to duke it out with
an Olympic medalist, to me
that showed that this girl is

fearless, Hudson said.
That caliber of competition
is exactly who Nicole wants to
face but shes not content
with losing to anyone.
This year she went up
against another Olympian at
Clemson, Hudson said.
And beat her.
***
On Friday night, Nicole
will represent UNC as the
track and field teams only
competitor at the indoor
national championships in
College Station, Texas. But on
Thursday morning, Nicoles
mind was far from jumping.
Before she could vie for a
national title, she had to take
her analytical chemistry and
calculus midterms.
This weekend is a perfect
example of how Nicoles
career marries academic and
athletic excellence.
I wanted to be a doctor
so badly, Nicole said. I was
looking for a school that was
good at academics and athlet-
ics, and I think Carolina was
the best place for that.
Nicole could see the big pic-
ture. On her official recruiting
visit, Hudson sent Nicole and
her parents themselves both
medical doctors on a tour of
UNC hospitals with a depart-
ment chair and a surgeon.
The family was impressed.
Most of the coaches who
ran into Nicole were more
concerned about the things
they could do to make her
jump higher, Nicoles father, transition to college. Hudson
Trevor, said. Coach Hudson
was more concerned with her
as a person.
Coach Hudson has fulfilled
the promise to accommodate
Nicoles ambition as a student
at a prestigious university
and as a world-class athlete.
This past summer, Hudson
set Nicole up with a summer
internship shadowing a doctor
while also training her for the
USATF Junior Championships.
Shes living her dream,
Trevor said.
***
People think that I just do
this, Nicole said. But I dont
think anyone sees all of the
sacrifices that I had to make.
Dont think the transition
of balancing both halves of
being a student-athlete is easy
for Nicole. She graduated
high school as a four-year 4.0
student, but also with two
high school national titles.
Coach Hudson had seen
athletes with piles of high
school accolades who couldnt
weather the inevitable back-
slide that comes with the
knows its possible because
shes seen it happen before
and for as high of a flier as
Nicole was in high school, she
was still at risk of crash land-
ing her first year at UNC.
Youre dealing with a
young lady who, her whole
senior year (of high school),
she never lost, Hudson said.
Then she goes through her
whole freshman year and she
doesnt (hardly) win a meet.
But (Nicole) said, Im
learning, its going to get bet-
ter. Im going to believe in the
process.
That process enveloped
much of her life from then
on, forcing her to manage her
time and make sacrifices.
Shes probably the only
person I know who never goes
out, Dixon said. She goes out
maybe twice per semester
Nicole meticulously sched-
uled her days, skipped social
opportunities and split her
spare time between the class-
room and the weight room.
But it was worth it the
process worked. She quali-
fied individually for indoor
nationals as a first-year.
And then in the summer,
Nicole got back to dominating.
She was the highest jumper
at the 2016 USATF Junior
National Championships. The
win qualified her to represent
Team USA at the junior world
championships in Poland.
That was a very seminal
moment for her, Trevor said.
One of the defining moments
of her jumping career.
***
McKinley McNeill said. We
A high jumpers work can
be solitary.
Honestly for high jump,
its only you and the bar,
Nicole said. You cant help
what anyone else does.
Again and again, those
around Nicole identify her
biggest strength as her focus.
DTH/GABRIELLE THOMPSON
She goes into herself, into a
zone, and handles whatever
task is at hand.
What goes on in that zone
is a puzzle those around her
cannot solve. Maintaining her
competitive edge often requires
focus that leads Nicole to
remoteness.
If you are superior, youre
always going to be isolated,
Hedgpeth said. Her passions
are her studies and her jump-
ing. She doesnt really need
anything else.
The moments of intensity
dont mean Nicole isnt still an
integral part of her team. After
all, she was still named one of
the teams captains this year
as a sophomore.
Every time she comes to
practice, she knows exactly
what she wants to get out
of the workout, teammate
just all follow.
She consistently establishes
new heights, both academi-
cally and athletically.
And every time she lands,
expect her to look over, daring
you: Raise the bar.

Pinson accidentally gets back on track Tar Heels prepare for

The junior made his first
3-pointer in weeks trying
to throw an alley-oop.
By C Jackson Cowart
Sports Editor
BROOKLYN Theo Pinson
swears he didnt mean to.
His first try was too low, an
errant alley-oop attempt that nearly
sent forward Isaiah Hicks out of
bounds to retrieve the loose ball.
But the seniors return volley was
too high, forcing Pinson into the air
and over a Miami defender.
Twenty feet away, 6-foot-11 Tony
Bradley stood under the basket, eyes
locked on Pinson. The North Carolina
bench saw it, too. If Hicks couldnt
corral one, surely Bradley could.
With those two, I know I can
throw it up at any point and theyre
gonna go get it, Pinson said.
So the moment his feet touched
the floor, Pinson hurtled the ball
straight toward the hoop. Too
straight. The ball stopped short of
Bradleys outstretched arms and
swished through the nylon.
Nobody else could do it except
Theo, head coach Roy Williams said.
Three points later, No. 6 UNC
held its largest lead yet with just
over eight minutes to go in its 78-53
win over Miami in Thursdays
ACC Tournament semifinal. As the
Barclays Center erupted with laugh-
ter and applause, the junior wing
stood with his hands at his side.
It was that kind of night for top-
seeded UNC (27-6, 14-4 ACC), whose
21 assists picked apart the zone
defense the ninth-seeded Hurricanes
North Carolina wing Theo Pinson (1) throws a pass over Miami defenders in
the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament in Brooklyn, N.Y. on Thursday.
(21-11, 10-8 ACC) employed.
It worked in January, when
North Carolina couldnt crack the
Miami zone in a 77-62 loss. But that
team was without Pinson, who suf-
fered his second injury of the season
two days before the game against
Virginia Tech.
On Thursday, the 6-foot-6 wing
was at full strength, picking apart
the Hurricanes zone with a team-
high six dimes to lead UNC in assists
for the seventh time in 14 games.
There was a big hole in the
middle, Pinson said. And I tried, as
much as I can, to just get it in there.
He could have had a seventh assist,
if his pass to Bradley was a touch
lower or his dish to Hicks a few inch-
es higher. But he split the difference
notching his first 3-pointer since
Feb. 25 in a win at Pittsburgh.
It definitely wasnt a good pass
DTH/ALEX KORMANN
if it went in the basket, Justin
Jackson said.
Minutes later, UNCs per-game
assists leader tested his newfound
3-point touch. After catching a pass
from Joel Berry on wing, Pinson set
his feet just behind the line.
It could have been Berrys sixth
assist. Instead, it missed the rim.
I said, Coach, that was the bas-
ketball gods telling me: We gave you
a lucky one, Pinson said. You gotta
suffer for that one.
In the end, it didnt matter.
Pinson broke a two-game score-
less streak and fell one assist shy of
tying his season high.
If it was somebody else, I would
have tried to strangle him, Williams
said. But Theo you just say, Well,
youve gotta understand its him.

third bout with Duke
UNC will play Duke at 7
p.m. in the semifinal of
ACC Tournament Friday.
By Jeremy Vernon
Assistant Sports Editor
The North Carolina mens basket-
ball team takes on Duke in the ACC
Tournament semifinals tonight at
7 p.m. in Brooklyn. The Tar Heels
and Blue Devils have already played
twice this year the first game an
86-78 Duke win in Durham on Feb.
9 and the second a 90-83 UNC vic-
tory at the Smith Center on March
4.
Here are three things to look for
in the third meeting between two of
the top teams in the ACC.
Tatum v. Hicks II
North Carolina senior forward
Isaiah Hicks didnt play in the first
matchup between the two teams.
In his absence, Blue Devil first-year
Jayson Tatum who Hicks would
have been matched up with
scored 19 second-half points to help
Duke secure a win.
The second meeting saw Tatum
limited to just 13 points on 4-of-13
shooting. Hicks, in his last game in
the Smith Center, tallied 21 points
and nine rebounds.
It will be interesting to see who
gets the better of the other Friday.
Both players are coming off great
performances Hicks scored 19
against Miami on Thursday and
Tatum had 25 in Dukes quarterfi-
nal win over Louisville.
Back on track
UNC junior wing and ACC
Player of the Year Justin Jackson
has had a rough stretch shoot-
ing from beyond the arc as of
late. He made just two of his last
13 attempts to end the regular
season, and went 2-for-7 from
three against the Hurricanes on
Thursday.
North Carolina was able to
weather Jacksons 1-for-7 perfor-
mance against Duke on March 4
thanks to the play of Joel Berry,
but the Tar Heels will likely need
him to tighten things up a bit if
they hope to advance past the Blue
Devils and into Saturdays final.
Containing Kennard
The Tar Heels and Blue Devils
have split the season series, but Duke
guard Luke Kennard has shown in
both games that he could be the best
player on the floor at all times.
In the first contest, Kennard
overcame a slow start to put up 20
points on UNC. In the second, he
led all scorers with 28 points on
9-of-17 shooting.
Kennard should be motivated by
his teams loss on Saturday, as well
as by the fact he finished fourth in
voting for ACC Player of the Year
an award a lot of people thought
he deserved over Jackson.
