Robbery raises
safety concerns
University police chose not to
use Alert Carolina siren, texts
by C. Ryan Barber
University Editor
More than 48 hours after
an armed robbery in Morrison
Residence Hall, police have yet to
arrest one of the two men involved.
And as the search and investiga-
tion continues, University officials
said Tuesday that siren and mass-
text notification systems were not
used because police deemed the
incident as isolated to the victims
— and found that the 26-year-
old suspect, Michael DeAngelo
Williamson, had already left the
campus area.
Responding to claims that the
University’s response was insuffi-
cient, Randy Young, spokesman for
the Department of Public Safety,
reiterated Tuesday that police could
not confirm that Williamson had a
gun as he fled from the scene early
Monday morning, nor did they

take government reigns

Cooper to downsize cabinet for sake of e∞ciency
by AARON MOORE
staff writer
After emerging as the unscathed winner
in a contentious election and waiting for
more than a month to be inaugurated, Mary
Cooper stepped up to the Great Hall’s podium
at the Student Union with one goal in mind:
efficiency.
Joined onstage by her executive officers,
Cooper began her administration with a short
speech, voicing her willingness to get to work.
“We had ideas, and now it’s time to imple-
ment them,” she said. “We’re ready to hit the
ground running.”
Her short speech prefaced a year that will
feature up to 20 fewer cabinet members.
In an effort to streamline student govern-
ment, Cooper said in an interview that she will
downsize positions, committees and special
projects.
“We’ll be able to have more collaboration,
more interaction,” she said. “It will allow us
to get more things done with more opinions
involved.”
Cooper’s executives said the office’s cabinet
has been downsizing in recent years — and they
believe merging some overlapping committees
and projects will do away with inefficiencies.
“When there are a lot of committees work-
ing on things, it can be difficult to figure out
what goal you’re actually trying to work on,”
said Olivia Hammill, Cooper’s chief of staff.
“When too many students get involved, it
gets a little too out of control.”
Monique Hardin, chief of staff under
the administration of former Student Body
President Hogan Medlin, said Medlin’s ten-
ure featured 45 cabinet positions, 10 fewer
than the year before. Cooper said she will have
between 25 and 30 cabinet members.
Hardin expressed concern about Cooper’s
plan, saying efficiency could come at the cost
of student representation because a smaller
group will offer fewer student voices.
“Limiting things can limit representation,”
she said. “It could be harmful, we never know.
“There might be some backlash, but at the
end of the day, I think she’ll have a smooth
transition.”
Cooper said her administration will still be
representative in spite of her plans to down-
size. Because she will only combine commit-
tees that share functions, student needs will
simply be met more efficiently, she said.
“You might not see a reduction of people in
student government, you might see a reduc-
tion in people going to cabinet meetings,”
Cooper said.
But Hardin said former committee mem-
bers who will lose their legacies in student
government might criticize the plan.
Cooper said she hopes former committee

million to student athletes
T h e Jo h n W i l l i a m Po p e
Foundation of Raleigh has donated
$3 million to upgrade facilities that
provide academic support to UNC’s
student athletes.
The gift was announced
Tuesday and provides for new
location for the John W. Pope
Student-Athlete Academic
Support Center as part of the
Kenan Stadium renovation.
The foundation also funded the
original center, which was located
in the stadium’s previous field
house, in 1986.
The center is named for Pope
Foundation founder and UNC
class of 1947 alumni John W. Pope
Sr., who died in 2006.
The new center will serve UNC’s
nearly 800 student athletes, who
participate in 28 sports, and will
include classrooms, computer and
writing labs, reading rooms and
office space.
It will be 29,000 square feet —
more than three times the size of
the old center — and will be the
largest facility of its kind in the
Atlantic Coast Conference. It will
also be one of the largest student-
athlete support centers in the
nation.
Faculty athletics reviews
athlete academic options
In its April meeting Tuesday, the
Faculty Athletics Committee dis-
cussed ways to help varsity athletes
meet their academic goals.
The priority registration policy
for athletes, passed in 2007, will be
up for review in the fall and may be
tweaked at that time, said Robert
Mercer, director of academic sup-
port for student athletes.
The committee also discussed
adjusting course timing for ath-
November ballot.
The referendum will allow
county residents to vote “yes” or
“no” on the tax increase, which was
narrowly rejected by voters when
the county tried the measure in
November 2010.
The referendum will appear on
the municipal elections ballot later
this year rather than the primary
elections ballot in 2012 — a plan that
caused concern among some resi-
dents because voter turnout could

But commissioners said tax rev-

“The further we put it off, the
longer it takes us to realize the rev-
enues,” said commissioner Valerie
Foushee.
Commissioner Barry Jacobs said
revenue from the tax increase will
go primarily to education and eco-
nomic development.
He said the sales tax increase,
if approved by voters, will provide
commissioners with an alternative
vote for this, and why now?”
In other business, commission-
ers delayed making a decision on

New concerns of
security breaches
by lauren russell
senior writer
Not many months go by for
junior Mike Mistarz without a
doctor visit. He’s had a jaw pain
that’s taken him to seven different
specialists without a diagnosis.
While physicians haven’t eased
all of Mistarz’s physical pains, they
have improved the consultation
process through digitizing check-
ups.
Electronic health records have
also made bouncing from one doc-
tor’s office to another a simpler
process for Mistarz.
“I’ve had to be referred so many
times from doctor to doctor, and
it’s so much easier to have them
sent online than have them faxed
over,” he said.
He a l t h p r o f e s s i o n a l s a r e
increasingly storing medical
records in the virtual cloud rather
than file cabinets.
UNC Hospitals recently set up a
health information exchange with
IBM that connects all its medi-
cal centers. It is expected to be an
example for other large medical
facilities.
Dr. Glenn Withrow, who runs
the private practice The Family
Doctor in Rams Plaza, put in an
electronic health record system
in 2009 and said having inter-
connected charts online has also
helped his work on the back end.
“Primary care’s not dealing with
just one body part but the whole
body, and we have to coordinate
stuff between us and other special-

letes.
Deborah Eaker-Rich, assistant
dean of the School of Education,
said athletes majoring in educa-
tion face obstacles because student
teaching and sequential course
scheduling conflict with their ath-
letic schedules.
Medical track majors also pose
problems to athletes, said Dana
Gelin, associate director for ath-
letic communications at UNC.
The committee is looking into
a new Athletes in Medicine pro-
gram to help with the problem,
Gelin said.
This program would use previ-
ous UNC athletes as mentors for
current students.

the Taste of Hope water assistance
program.
Jeff Brubaker, the town’s trans-
portation planner, informed the
board of upcoming deadlines to
submit priorities for the Statewide
Transportation Improvement
Program, developed every two years
by the North Carolina Department
of Transportation.
Brubaker said Carrboro can
submit three new highway proj-
ects, six new or existing pedes-
trian projects and six bicycle
projects to the Metropolitan
Planning Organization, which
covers Durham, Chapel Hill and
Carrboro.
Alderman Jacquie Gist expressed
concern about whether the town’s
projects, which must be submitted
by May 16, will actually be consid-
ered at the state level.
“We’re going through this pro-
cess, but is there going to be money
to do anything?” she said. “I’m
seeing a lot of important projects
delayed already.”

-From staff and wire reports
by Keren Goldshlager
staff writer
Alexa Gellman was fast asleep
in her room at the Delta Delta
Delta sorority house early Tuesday
morning when the walls suddenly
began to shake.
After rising from bed and look-
ing out the window, she found that
raindrops weren’t all that was falling
during a rainstorm with wind gust-
ing up to 51 mph in Chapel Hill.
“I woke up at 3:30 a.m. to my
room shaking because a giant
branch had fallen on the Tri Delt
roof right next to our window,” she
said.
The falling branch also woke
freshman Jessi Tremayne, who lives
in the room beside Gellman’s.
“We didn’t realize what had hap-
pened at first,” Tremayne said. “The
house was shaking and there was
a lot of loud noise. Only when we
looked outside did we see the tree.”
The storm also toppled trees
near Jackson Hall and Battle Hall,
forcing the University to remove
the fallen foliage and surrounding
debris.
While the trees that fell on-
campus did not harm surround-
ing buildings or people, the tree
that fell onto the Franklin Street
sorority house caused damage to
the roof and outside stairs.
The most noticeable fallen tree
on campus crashed to the ground
near Jackson Hall at 9 a.m.,
said Tom Bythell, the University
arborist.
He said the fallen oak tree was
60 to 70 years old, which is rela-
tively young.
A large tree limb fell onto the steps of the Tri Delta sorority house,
puncturing a part of the roof, during a storm early Tuesday morning.
Bythell said the large tree fell on
top of three or four smaller trees,
but didn’t harm any students or
campus buildings.
“Most of the time there isn’t
damage,” he said. “It’s actually
fairly rare for that to happen.”
An elm tree also fell by Battle,
Vance and Pettigrew halls. The tree
fell onto another tree and needed
to be disentangled, but it too left
students and nearby buildings
unscathed.
By 1:30 p.m., Bythell said both
areas were cleaned.
Although Bythell and his crew
monitor the University’s trees regu-
larly to prevent damages like those
at the sorority house, he said pre-
dicting a fall is not always easy.
“It depends on whether there’s
dth/duncan culbreth
leaves on the trees, whether there’s
root damage, how soft the ground
is,” he said.
“There’s too many variables.”
Such unpredictable factors
caused two on-campus oak trees
to collapse in November 2009.
The first tree, which Bythell said
was old and rotting, hit two stu-
dents and inflicted minor injuries.
The second tree fell onto
Saunders Hall, breaking a window
and triggering the first-floor flood-
lights. Bythell said it fell because of
strong winds and saturated soil.
But Kirk Pelland, then-director
of grounds services, said at the
time that falling trees should not
be feared.

The winds of more than 60 miles
per hour that hit the Triangle on
Tuesday morning proved to be too
much for many local trees, downing
power lines and leaving hundreds
of homes without electricity.
More than 225 Orange County
residences had no electricity as of
4:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to
Duke Energy’s website. As of 10:15
p.m. Tuesday, there were 2 outages.
The storm, which reached North
Carolina at 3:30 a.m., left more
than 225,000 homes in the state
without power. But Chapel Hill
saw some of the worst damage,
said Betsy Conway, spokeswoman
for Duke Energy.
Much of the damage was to
power lines, which utility compa-
nies are responsible for repairing.
Duke Energy has secured more
than 900 crew members from
other service areas to help with the
process. Crews began assessing the
damage and making minor repairs
Tuesday morning.
“It does still continue as more
folks call in, as the day progresses
and more damage is found out,”
Conway said.
Conway said major repairs
would take multiple days. She did
not have an estimated cost of the
storm’s damage to the utilities.
Students at East Chapel Hill
High School spent three hours
without electricity, although all
schools in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro
City Schools district remained open,
said Robin Nucilli, publications
assistant at the system’s office.
Though the area’s power lines
saw some of the worst damage
in the state, the other impact
to Chapel Hill was small, said
Richard Terrell, operations man-
ager for the Chapel Hill Public
Works Department.
The storm brought about an
inch of rain to the area.
“We have some problems, but it
hasn’t been that extensive,” he said.
“This is very little cost to the town.”
A fallen oak tree temporarily
closed Erwin Road and put out
traffic lights on a section of Weaver
Dairy Road. Another tree brought
down a power line in the area south
of Westwood, including Dawes and
Monroe streets.
Terrell said street sweepers will
clean debris downtown, and waste
management will pick up vegetation
waste as people move it to the curb.
“Roughly speaking, this is not a
major event,” he said. “There will
be more of an impact on utilities.”
Gail Hartfield, meteorologist
for the National Weather Service
Forecast Office in Raleigh, said the
storm’s impact was in line with what
the weather service anticipated and
was comparable to damage in the
rest of the Southeast.
“We got just about what every-
where else got,” she said. “It basi-
cally plowed eastward across the
entire state.”

St. Petersburg stuns with epic evening

Ensemble gives captivating concert
By Andy Thomason
Senior Writer
Russian giants arrived in Chapel
Hill on Tuesday night, as the
St. Petersburg Philharmonic —
Russia’s oldest symphonic ensem-
ble — had a packed Memorial Hall
transfixed from the first note to the
encore’s conclusion.
The ensemble offered a per-
formance that was thoroughly
Russian in character, and power-
ful — unthinkably powerful — in
execution.
Conducted by the stately Yuri
Temirkanov and featuring the
talented American cellist Alisa
Weilerstein, the orchestra offered
lively interpretations of Nikolai
Rimsky-Korsakov’s Russian Easter
Overture, Dmitri Shostakovich’s
Cello Concerto No. 1 and Johannes
Brahms’ Symphony No. 4.
The first piece confirmed the
high hopes of the audience.
Hordes of violins created musical
mist from which a solo by violinist
and concertmaster Lev Klychkov —
the image of Beethoven, but more
imposing — emerged upright.
Temirkanov, too, was masterful
— conducting with sweeping turns,
demanding looks and small flicks
of the hand.
Weilerstein’s entrance for the
Shostakovich concerto was almost
as stunning as the piece itself.
Clad in a fiery red dress with
lipstick to match, the young cellist
was the focus of the piece.
Weilerstein slashed at the instru-
ment, wielding her bow to conclude
a long run like an exhausted swords-
man — her face expressing torture,
sadness and extreme strain.
Coughs from the audi-
ence appropriately colored the
eerie cadenza, during which
Weilerstein softly plucked single
notes, jammed her bow in violent
sets and then accelerated into a
mind-bending run that left the
remainder of the concerto pale
in comparison.
The symphony was a fine post-
intermission choice, showing off
the ensemble’s depth.
The orchestra’s investment in
the performance was solidified at
the end of the first movement, with
members swaying in a musical
tempest that left the audience to
recover during the ominous horn
solo starting the second move-
ment.
The second movement show-
cased touching support by the cello
section, now without Weilerstein,
but it was the third and fourth
movements that proved the group’s
explosive power, especially from
the brass.
Minutes of applause called
for a brief encore — a piece that
sounded suspiciously like Edward
Elgar’s Nimrod from the Enigma
Variations.
The slow, tender tune was deep-
ly affecting, the audience now sus-

pended in its disbelief.
A roaring ovation greeted

More than 100 shed their shoes in one-mile walk

by Florence Bryan
staff writer
Eight-year-old Madison
Montgomery paraded barefoot
down a sidewalk Tuesday night
with her father, little sister and
about 125 other children, parents
and residents.
The participants of the one-
mile walk from the Chapel Hill-
Carrboro YMCA to the Chapel
Hill Police Department and back
joined thousands worldwide who
shed their shoes to raise awareness
of children in developing countries
without shoes.
The walk ended the YMCA’s first
participation in the fourth annual
One Day Without Shoes event,
sponsored by TOMS Shoes, a com-
pany that donates one pair of shoes
to impoverished children for every
pair sold.
Madison, who is enrolled in the
YMCA’s after-school program, said
she walked for fun.
“(I walked) for people who have
no shoes,” she said.
During the past month at the
YMCA, she said she learned about

“We talked about how people
can get diseases,” she said.
Greg Lee, senior membership
and marketing director of the
Chapel Hill-Carrboro YMCA, said
TOMS’ mission aligns well with the
YMCA’s goal of social responsibil-
ity.
“The message that we want
to share — TOMS’ message — is
there’s still a lot of things we take
for granted everyday that other
people in the world don’t have,”
he said. “Shoes are like a luxury
for them — the stuff we have in
our closet that we don’t even wear
anymore.”
The local YMCA branch has col-
lected 621 pairs of shoes during the
past three weeks, and together the
Triangle-area branches have col-
lected almost 10,000 pairs.
The shoes will be sent to

Kleinschmidt, who also partici-
pated in the walk, said he was
impressed with the support and
enthusiasm, which reflects Chapel
Hill’s philanthropic spirit.
“It’s one of the things we’re
known for, and I love to be a part
of it,” he said.
Meghan Walker, 15, a member of
the YMCA’s Leaders Club, said the
walk opened her eyes.
“When you’re barefoot, your feet
are really sensitive so you actually
look down and realize what you’re
stepping on more often,” she said.
“It’s kind of cool to see what other
people have to go through.”

Radioactivity 7.5 million times limit
TOKYO (MCT) — The opera-
tor of Japan’s stricken Fukushima
nuclear plant said Tuesday that it
had found radioactive iodine at
7.5 million times the legal limit
in a seawater sample taken near
the facility, and government offi-
cials imposed a new health limit
for radioactivity in fish.
The reading of iodine-131
was recorded Saturday, Tokyo
Electric Power Co. said. Another
sample taken Monday found the
level to be 5 million times the
legal limit. The Monday samples
also were found to contain radio-
active cesium at 1.1 million times
the legal limit.
The exact source of the radia-
tion was not immediately clear,
though Tepco has said that high-
ly contaminated water has been
leaking from a pit near the No.
2 reactor.
The utility initially believed
that the leak was coming from
a crack, but several attempts to
seal the crack failed.
On Tuesday the company said
the leak instead might be coming
from a faulty joint where the pit

White House budget meeting ends
in no deal, only ‘good discussion’
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT)
— An Oval Office meeting
Tuesday morning yielded no deal
on a final budget resolution, rais-
ing the specter of a government
shutdown at week’s end.
President Obama had called
Tuesday’s meeting in an effort
to finalize a deal that Democrats
have said was within reach but
Republicans had yet to coalesce
around.
Participants included Vice
President Joe Biden; House
Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio;
Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid, D-Nev.; and the chair-
men of the House and Senate
Appropriations Committees,
Rep. Hal Rogers, R-Ky., and Sen.
Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii.
In a s tatemen t r el eased
after leaving the White House,
Boehner’s office said there was
a “good discussion” but that
Republicans would not accept
a deal “that fails to make real
spending cuts.”
The most recent stopgap
spending plan expires Friday
meets a duct, allowing radioac-
tive water to seep into a layer of
gravel underneath.
The utility said it would inject
“liquid glass” into gravel in an
effort to stop further leakage.
Meanwhile, Tepco continued
releasing what it described as
water contaminated with low
levels of radiation into the sea
to make room in on-site storage
tanks for more highly contami-
nated water.
In all, the company said it
planned to release 11,500 tons of
the water, but by Tuesday morn-
ing it had released less than 25
percent of that amount.
Although the government
authorized the release of the
11,500 tons and has said that
any radiation would be quickly
diluted and dispersed in the
ocean, fish with high readings
of iodine are being found.
On Monday, officials detected
more than 4,000 bequerels of
iodine-131 per kilogram in a type
of fish called a sand lance caught
less than three miles offshore of
the town of Kita-Ibaraki.

night, and failure to pass a new
bill by then would result in the
first government shutdown since
President Bill Clinton battled
with congressional Republicans
in the mid-1990s.
House rules require any pro-
posed legislation to be posted
online 72 hours before a vote,
which means a deal must come
by day’s end.
House Republicans say their
preference is to move legislation
funding the government for the
remainder of the 2011 fiscal year,
but they have offered yet another
short-term extension — this time
just one week — to avoid a shut-
down.
That plan would accelerate
the rate of cuts for domestic
programs that lawmakers have
agreed to in past extensions —
from $2 billion per week to $12
billion.
Democrats are unlikely to
support such a measure, how-
ever, and the White House was
noncommittal Tuesday morn-
ing.
Americans think
US military action
in Libya lacks goal
LOS ANGELES (MCT) —
Despite President Barack Obama’s
national address on his Libya pol-
icy, an increasing percentage of
Americans say the military action
lacks a clear goal, according to a
Pew poll released Tuesday.
The national survey, by the Pew
Research Center for the People &
the Press, found that 57 percent
of Americans said the U.S. policy
lacked a clear goal, up from 50
percent who said the same thing a
week earlier, before the president
formally addressed the nation
but while the administration was
making its position known.
The latest poll was conducted
March 30 to April 3 and involved
interviews with 1,507 adults.
Obama took to the airwaves on
March 28 to explain his Libya pol-
icy, which includes using U.S. air
power as part of an international
effort to protect civilians caught
between rebels and strongman

T he loud ding of Patrick
Gamblin’s bat connecting with the
ball in the top of the first inning
meant a multitude of things.
It not only meant that Gamblin
earned his 10th RBI of the season
and a run for his Winthrop Eagles,
but it also meant that for the eighth
consecutive game, North Carolina
would begin its offense from
behind.
Though Winthrop took the early

and emerge
with a 12-6 victory.
“It’s always good to get start-
ed early and it really helped for
momentum, always putting up
a big inning,” right fielder Seth
Baldwin said. “Four runs in one
inning is pretty good. I think that
really helped us.”
The Tar Heels opened the mid-
week tilt unconvincingly as start-
ing righthander Cody Stiles gave
up a run and third baseman Colin
Moran committed a fielding error.
UNC may have escaped with
a win, but the trend of giving up
early runs is one the team would
like to shake.
“Coach said he was getting a lit-
tle sick of that,” UNC junior Jacob
Stallings said. “I guess it’s some-

have a mature team, so we don’t
freak out if we get behind … but

Health
reform
is still a
hot issue
W
ait … you thought the
health care debate was
over? Not quite. The
Pit will soon be overtaken again
by excited students waving peti-
tions and campaign signs. That’s
right — President Barack Obama
confirmed Monday morning that
he will be seeking re-election for
2012.
And you can bet that an
important part of his cam-
paign will be championing the
Affordable Care Act he signed
in March last year, and which is
now under attack.
In a speech in late February
of this year, Obama praised the
act, quoting the nonpartisan
Congressional Budget Office as
saying that the act has already
saved a trillion dollars in health
care costs.
Although some parts of the
act have already been put into
action, it has been met with con-
troversy, most recently this past
January when a Florida court
ruled it unconstitutional. There
will be an appeal on the court’s
ruling this June.
If allowed to continue, imple-
menting the act would cost a net
$788 billion over 10 years, but
would reduce the budget deficit
by $143 billion by 2019 by tack-
ling insurance waste, fraud and
abuse.
The plan would provide insur-
ance coverage to 32 million
uninsured Americans by provid-
ing subsidies for low-income
individuals and families, expand-
ing Medicare and Medicaid and
preventing insurance companies
from refusing to cover preexist-
ing conditions or from dropping
people who become sick.
Of special interest to college
students is that under the plan,
young adults would be able to
stay on their parents’ health
insurance plans until they are
26. As of now, many insurance
companies drop dependents
when they turn 19 or finish col-
lege.
To appease opponents of the
act, Obama has signaled recently
that he is willing to be flexible
with the plan — if states can
come up with a better plan than
his by 2017, they will be allowed
to implement that plan instead.
While this plan is certainly
not perfect, it is better than the
system we have now — a record
50 million American adults 18 to
64 years old were uninsured in
2010, according to a Centers for
Disease Control report.
As a developed nation, it
would make sense that all of the
people in our country have access
to health care — in most devel-
oped nations this is the case.
Of course, these health care
systems are usually paid for by
tax dollars. The Affordable Care
Act is no different. Families
with an income above $250,000
would have to pay an additional
3.8 percent on their income to
contribute to Medicare costs.
Regardless of our party affili-
ations, we can all agree that 50
million uninsured Americans is
unacceptable.
What we need is a plan that
will ensure that all Americans
have access to health care. The
Affordable Care Act would help
achieve that goal by cutting the
deficit while providing health care
to 32 million more Americans.
As college students, we are the
future policy makers, health care
providers and health care users
and we have the responsibility to
make sure that we do not deny
any one the basic human right of
health care.

Alarming response
Whenever there is reason to believe a gunman is
loose on campus, students must be alerted
T
he way in which a recent
armed robbery on cam-
pus was handled by safe-
ty officials seems disturbingly
negligent. The decision not to
utilize the Alert Carolina sirens
or text messaging system meant
an armed gunman was at large
without student knowledge.
That’s simply unacceptable.
At around midnight Monday,
students in Morrison Residence
Hall suddenly found them-
selves with a gun pointed at
them. While at gunpoint, they
were robbed, campus police
reports state. The Department
of Public Safety responded and
arrested one of the men, but
the other fled on foot and no
guns were found.
The protocol for Alert
Carolina states that alarms
will be sounded and text mes-
sages will be sent if there is “an
Missed connections
Local governments deserve broadband opportunity
A
bill making its way
through the General
Assembly that would
make it difficult for munici-
palities to provide and charge
residents for broadband ser-
vices would hobble the type of
information infrastructure that
would greatly benefit a town
like Chapel Hill.
The bill, which has passed the
House and now awaits a vote in
the Senate, is designed to keep
the government out of “the
private sector.” The legislation
rests on the idea that broad-
band access is a plain dollars-
and-cents, bottom line service
that should be treated like any
other private enterprise.
This is simply not true.
Widespread broadband access
is a public good. By facilitat-
ing communication between
different members of the com-
A sign of the times
Commercial sign flexibility should favor businesses
T
he town has thus far
wavered on how to
revise a restriction that
regulates signage at town com-
mercial centers. It should avail
itself of the opportunity to eas-
ily boost commerce by loosen-
ing restrictions.
The restrictions outlined in
the Land Use Management
Ordinance easily stand to be
relaxed without risking distrac-
tion or compromising commu-
nity aesthetic.
Changing the Land Use
Management Ordinance to
allow larger signs will help
Chapel Hill businesses adver-
tise more effectively. Any rea-
sonable allowance that might
help local commerce should be
embraced. This revision can be
such a change.

armed and dangerous person
on or near campus.”
The actual response was dis-
proportionate and disconcert-
ing. Students in Morrison were
told to lock their doors and a
notification was posted on the
Alert Carolina website — which
few are likely to regularly check
unless prompted.
This is the response when
students tell police they have
guns pointed in their face.
Precaution didn’t seem to
be DPS’ primary concern. It
should have been. While offi-
cials may not have been com-
pletely certain that an armed
gunman was still at large, there
was sufficient evidence that
campus safety was threatened,
if not compromised.
Not all situations are clear-
cut. But the principle with safety
should always be to err on the
munity, broadband cuts down
on transaction costs and infor-
mation problems that inhibit
an efficient economy. Job
opportunities become easier to
find and competition increases
as businesses’ investment is
attracted by a strong network.
The whole economy benefits.
The nature of installing
and maintaining a broadband
network is such that even in
a “free” market, the industry
won’t be competitive, with only
a small number of firms oper-
ating in an area.
In this respect, a city-run
broadband system would be
very similar to a municipal
water authority or infrastruc-
ture such as roads.
Moreover, there’s a role for
government in ensuring equity.
The economic logic of a private
company — maximizing profits
On March 28, the Council
discussed an increase in com-
mercial sign size for businesses
with more than 50,000 square
feet of floor area. If approved,
the maximum height allowed
for commercial signs could
increase from 8 feet to as high
as 14 feet.
We also support the town
staff ’s recommendation of
looser restrictions on font
and color use on trademarked
logos. Businesses should
be able to display their own
trademarks. It’s an important
way for businesses to signal
their brand.
We’re not saying that town
officials should let business
owners run wild by eliminat-
ing all sign regulations. It is
fitting to loosely control signs

side of caution. Fortunately, the
incident seems isolated and the
danger abated. But one can easily
imagine a worse scenario having
played out —and students would
not have seen it coming.
No one wants to cause a
panic. But students deserve to
be made aware when there is
exceptional risk they are in dan-
ger. If safety officials are wary of
utilizing both the sirens and text
messaging system in the absence
of absolute certainty, then they
should consider at the very least
decoupling them and utilizing
text messaging. The website
alone is simply not enough.
The Alert Carolina system
was a great investment. It is
periodically tested so that it is
ready to go when it is needed.
It’s baffling, then, why safety
officials seem so reticent to
use it.
— necessitates refusing access to
certain potential customers.
It is clear that information
and communication ability are
more important than ever to
economic opportunity. Those
who don’t have reliable inter-
net access lack the same oppor-
tunities as those who do.
A government-run service can
alleviate this issue to the benefit
of the whole community.
Chapel Hill is installing fiber
optics anyway to update traffic
signals, and it would be a shame
if the town was banned from
using it to its full potential.
Obviously, such a program
isn’t right for every municipal-
ity. But the General Assembly
shouldn’t take away the option
from local governments who
would benefit.
That would just be anti-
competitive.
that businesses put up —
sometimes businesses can go
too far with display signs that
are incredibly distracting to
drivers.
We also think there’s value to
upholding a certain aesthetic
in the community that signs
can distract from.
The regulations just need to
be a little more accommodat-
ing regarding the liberty busi-
nesses can take with their com-
mercial signs.
If Chapel Hill wants to sup-
port its local businesses and
encourage commerce, it ought
to amend the current commer-
cial sign regulations.
No business should have to
suffer potentially missing cus-
tomers because it cannot prop-
erly advertise.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Armed robbery reinforces
need for guns on campus
TO THE EDITOR:
Yesterday, five students were
robbed at gunpoint in their
suite.
This is a terrifying occur-
rence. With leg touchers at Mill
Creek and armed robberies on
Franklin Street, I felt that at
least our campus was safe, with
its high population density and
security systems and all. I didn’t
think it was as necessary to carry
a concealed weapon on campus
for protection. But now, I’m in
steadfast agreement with the
pro-gun group.
The suspected robbers were
not even students. Banning con-
cealed weapons on campus did
nothing to prevent this, and in
the future it won’t by the very
nature that they are concealed.
I am sure people, when think-
ing logically, are entirely more
afraid of non-students breaking
into their dorm and pointing
a (probably stolen or unregis-
tered) gun at them than they are
of their intelligent and generally
law-abiding peers possibly carry-
ing a concealed weapon for the
purpose of defense.
It’s a logical situation: If con-
cealed weapons are against the
law, a criminal intending to
use one clearly isn’t going to be
deterred by another law; at the
same time, law-abiding citizens,
who would use their guns for
good, would not carry their con-
cealed weapons on campus so
long as they are illegal.
This seems like the law has an
effect opposite of its intention,
doesn’t it?
Benjamin Keilman
Senior
Political Science
Alert Carolina failed to
notify students of gunman
TO THE EDITOR:
I think that the recent armed
robbery on campus sheds a whole
new light on arguments which
argue for stricter gun control.
First, this incident reveals that
determined criminals will sneak
guns onto campus, well-inten-
tioned laws notwithstanding.
Others and I have argued that
criminals, by definition, have no
regard for the law and will bring
guns into so-called “Gun Free
Zones.”
Monday’s robbery reveals
several serious flaws in the
University’s own response to a
gunman on campus.
After pouring in untold
amounts of money in Alert
Carolina and other response
systems, the University failed
to send out so much as a text
message informing the campus
community about the gunman
running around campus.
Apparently, we only have
Alert Carolina so we can enjoy
the sound of its test siren once
a semester and never intend to
actually use the system for what
it was built for.
For these reasons, it is impor-
tant for students to be able to
protect themselves and others,
as the University is clearly inca-
pable of doing so.
Arming students in accor-
dance with the law would even
the odds when a student is con-
fronted with a gunman in his
dorm and allow him to take his
safety into his own hands.
Fortunately, no one was

TO THE EDITOR:
As a member of the Morrison
Community and Alert Carolina
network, I must say I was sur-
prised when Alert Carolina did
not send me a text regarding
the “perhaps” armed pair who
robbed several Morrison resi-
dents.
That was, at least, until I
found out they were let into the
dorm by residents. Thank God,
we’re saved! My fears subsided
even more when I saw signs tell-
ing me to keep my room locked,
because that was good advice.
I went straight to my home
page, Aler t Carolina, and
checked to see what was going
on. In fact, we all went on Alert
Carolina and read it together
while hiding under the bed with
the lights off.

Budget cuts shouldn’t hit
public education system
TO THE EDITOR:
As a parent and someone who
feels our main responsibility to
our future is to provide a future
for our children regardless of
their socioeconomic level, I am
just floored by the GOP agenda
to devastate our education sys-
tem with drastic cuts. Our public
schools, which the vast majority
of children attend, are crucial to
their ability to learn and to have
bright futures.
Our public schools are already
struggling with not enough
funding to be able to have suf-
ficient supplies, and most teach-
ers do not really make that great
of a salary in comparison to the
amount of work and time they
put into their jobs.
My sister-in-law has 25 special
needs children in her classroom
to teach by herself. They laid off
her assistant due to the budget.
That is crazy.
To close the Frank Porter
Graham Child Care Center
because of budget problems is
just another example of where
we are going. People, you need
to really think hard about what is
more important: your children,
or funding a huge military bud-
get and giving tax breaks to cor-
porations and the top 2 percent
of the richest people.
This is the wrong way to trim
a budget.
This is a very self-destructive
and heartless move.
