ACADEMIC SCANDAL

Slow-going STARTS WITH THE SIREN


search sees
Gil agree to
stay to 2016
Karen Gils replacement has
not yet been found, and she
will stay until January.
By Hannah Smoot
Assistant University Editor

In November, Karen Gil, dean of the


College of Arts and Sciences, said she
would step down from the position in
May of this year but as classes start
Tuesday, Gil is still at the helm.
Gil will stay on as dean until January,
which will give a search committee time
to consider a wide range of candidates,
said Ron Strauss, the chairman of the
committee.
Its been a process of being open to
input and not trying
to be in any haste,
Strauss said.
Gil was not available for comment on
the search.
Strauss said the

committee broke up
over the summer and current dean of
will meet Thursday to the College of Arts
and Sciences. She

planned to step
candidates who will
visit the campus in
down in May.
September.
According to the Wainstein report
on academic improprieties at the
University, Gil, who has served as
dean since 2009, wasnt aware of the
fraudulent paper classes within the
former Department of African and
Afro-American Studies before a meeting with former department chairman Julius Nyangoro and Jonathan

On Aug. 10, the Department of Public Safety held an emergency response drill after being criticized for a slow reaction to an armed robbery over the summer.

Communication failure to blame for Julys alert problems


By Acy Jackson
Assistant University Editor

College students might face the threat of


sexual assault, armed robberies, gun violence
and other crimes. Alert systems, like Alert
Carolina at UNC, are designed to keep students safe.
Alert Carolina relies on different University
offices, including Information Technology
Services and the Department of Public Safety,
working together to respond to crises. In a lifethreatening emergency, DPS can activate sirens
across campus.

SEE GIL, PAGE 5

Then theres a cascading chain of communications that follow that, but it starts with
the siren. The timely notification starts with a
text message. The informational starts with the
email, DPS Chief Jeff McCracken said.
To send out text and email notifications, DPS
must communicate with ITS. Its this handoff
that went wrong after the armed robberies on
campus on July 22.
That night, information distributed through
Alert Carolina left students unsure of what was
going on or what to do.
There was a communication issue, said
Susan Kellogg, the associate vice chancellor

for ITS.
These tend to be complicated situations.
But Kellogg said work is being done to fix the
problem, and ITS is not ignoring the issues in
the system.
We sit down and have a conversation,
Kellogg said. This is a constant refinement
process.
The system is constantly adapting to new
ways of communication and has gone from
brightly colored flyers to text messages and
social media.

K-12 funding up in the air as budget ght continues


Assembly debates the value
and role of teachers assistants.
By Marisa Bakker
Senior Writer

The battle over the N.C. budget may


result in a few casualties.
Legislators in Raleigh have been fighting to resolve the 2016 budget for almost
50 days past the original deadline, said Lee
Roberts, director of the states budget office.
The states fiscal year began on July 1,
but lawmakers have been unable to reach
an agreement and have instead passed two
continuing resolutions, authorizing spending at levels consistent with last years budget. The most recent was passed on Aug. 12,
extending the budget deadline to Aug. 31.
The problem with the continuing resolutions although you certainly have to
continue authorizing expenditures is
that it creates havoc for public schools
across the state, said Sen. Dan Blue,
D-Wake, the N.C. Senate Democratic leader. School will be starting in another week,

and many of them have no solid idea of


what kind of funding theyre going to have.
The budget debate is less about how
much money to spend, but where to spend it,
Roberts said. North Carolina spends a good
deal of its budget on education, $4.2 billion
of which is spent on the UNC system; $900
million goes to UNC-Chapel Hill.
While competing proposals are rife with
conflict, funding for teaching assistants is
perhaps the most contentious issue, said
Sen. Joel Ford, D-Mecklenburg. The Senate
proposal slashes funding for teachers aides
affecting more than 8,500 and instead
directs the money to reducing class sizes.
Several in the Senate and House have
argued that the Senate majority has simplified the trade-off between teaching assistants and class size; both aim to give children the most personalized education.
Its a question of whether we believe
that we ought to invest in the education of
our children teachers assistants, smaller
class sizes and all of those things go hand in
glove, and its a false dichotomy that theres
a choice between them, he said. This is a
ploy by the Senate leadership to justify the

lack of funding to teachers assistants.


Martinette Horner, the director of outreach for the UNC School of Education, said
smaller class sizes dont adequately address
the nature of classroom needs.
You have to take into consideration
what happens to teachers ability to reach
all students, who could be all over the place
in terms of learning needs, she said.
Despite concerns about teaching assistants, the General Assembly has reached
a consensus on other issues, including
increasing pay for public educators to
$35,000, Roberts said.
The final budget will require compromise, said Rep. Phil Shepard, R-Onslow.
Its not going to be a House budget; its not
going to be a Senate budget. Its going to be
a compromise somewhere in between, and
I hope itll be the best for everyone in the
state, he said.
Id rather wait a little later to make
sure we get it right than do it wrong but
I want to be out of here before the first
Carolina football game.

Gay marriage discouraged within American Indian tribes


Christian beliefs reshaped
old Native American views
on homosexuality, gender.
By Hayley Fowler
State and National Editor

Celebrations from this summers


landmark decision on same-sex
marriage havent quite reached all

corners of the 50 states specifically American Indian lands.


Federally recognized tribes able
to self-govern arent subject to decisions like the U.S. Supreme Courts
5-4 vote to legalize same-sex marriage one change they arent likely
to mirror in their own communities.
Many have passed laws preventing same-sex marriages on tribal
lands; other tribes still under federal
jurisdiction generally discourage it.

The Eastern Band of Cherokee


Indians is the only federally recognized tribe in North Carolina. It
passed a law outlawing gay marriage
just after the 4th U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals legalized it in North
Carolina and several other states in
October.
Tribe officials declined to comment about the law, but the ordinance in question calls homosexual
relations an error, citing a Bible

verse as evidence.
East of the Cherokee reservation
lies Lumbee territory, home to the
largest Native American tribe in
North Carolina.
Mary Ann Jacobs, chair of
American Indian studies at the
historically Native American UNCPembroke, said the majority of the
Lumbee are Baptist or Methodist.
For most gay people in this community, its pretty much a negative

TOMORROW

experience, she said.


Jacobs, who is a member of the
Lumbee tribe, said tribes internalized the harsh way Native
Americans were assimilated into
Christianity when European settlers
first arrived. She said theyve projected some of that oppression over
time in their interpretation of the
religion.

Marquise Williams remains hungry


Fifth-year QB
continues to show
signs of maturation
By Pat James
Sports Editor

Marquise Williams says he has never lacked


confidence.
And a year removed from setting 18 school
records as a junior, the quarterbacks assurance in himself as well as his teammates might
be at an all-time high.
Hes a lot more confident than normal,
said senior receiver Damien Washington about
Williams, a fifth-year senior. Hes trying to
lead and be more positive this year.
Before reaching this stage in his career,
Williams conviction was tested. Once a highly
touted recruit, he waited his turn to see the
field. And after withdrawing from school
in the spring of 2013 for academic reasons,
another obstacle stood in his path.
But his steadfast confidence in the face
of such adversity allowed him to attain the
leadership role he now holds as the Tar Heels
prepare for the 2015 season.
After redshirting in 2011, Williams saw limited action in 2012, playing in nine games as
a backup. But before spring practices in 2013,
he left UNC and returned to his Charlotte
home after underperforming in the classroom.
When I was kicked out of school, I had to
think about how much football really means
to me, he said. Being away from those guys,
getting up at 5 oclock in the morning, and Im
still sitting there like, Man, Im not with my
team. That kind of put a hurt to my heart.
When he returned to the team in fall 2013,
Williams reclaimed his backup role. But after
quarterback Bryn Renner suffered a seasonending injury, Williams became the starter.
He led UNC to four wins in six starts,
including a win over Cincinnati in the Belk
Bowl. Despite his performance, he entered the
spring of 2014 competing for the starting job.
Williams ultimately edged Mitch Trubisky
and finished the season second in the ACC
with 3,856 total yards of offense.
He says he has learned to be a team player,
which is evident in the praise he has heaped

I still have that mindset of going out and competing, said quarterback Marquise Williams, right. You can never be satisfied just knowing youre the one.

on his offensive line and running backs


through training camp thus far. And he only
continues to grow.
He makes mistakes just like everybody
else, Coach Larry Fedora said. But how he
deals with them has changed, and that comes
through maturity, the way he leads this football team, everything.
(Williams) has been extremely positive in
everything weve done every single day.

Williams is also focusing on not trying to


do too much, as he admits he did a season
ago when he unabashedly threw his 6-foot-2,
225-pound frame around the field en route to
rushing for a team-best 788 yards.
Although he is entrenched as UNCs starter
and says he is healthier now than he has been
since his sophomore year of high school,
Williams keeps his confidence in check.
I still have that mindset of going out and

competing, he said. You can never be satisfied


just knowing youre the one. So I come out every
day hungry like I was two years ago and last year.
Its fun when youre competing. Its not fun
when something is handed to you.

Crepe Culture rebrands as Crepe Traditions


The restaurants initial
July grand opening date
was pushed to September.
By Stephanie Lamm
Assistant City Editor

After backlash for the name


Crepe Culture, co-owners Sree
Valluru and Suvidha Kovuri changed
the name of their Franklin Street
restaurant to Crepe Traditions.
It was brought to our attention
that the name caused concern for
certain groups, Valluru said.
Comments on social media made
us think that a name change would

be a good idea.
Valluru said the original name,
Crepe Culture, was chosen to
emphasize how crepes can become
part of a regional culture.
Valluru, who has lived in many
French-dominated cultures, said
he has seen how crepes are a staple
food in French cuisine. In choosing
the new name, Valluru and Kovuri
wanted to keep this same spirit.
Crepes are an important food,
culturally, and we wanted to keep in
mind the history of the crepe in the
name, Valluru said.
The name change has delayed the
restaurants opening date. The 140
W. Franklin St. location, formerly
Gigis Cupcakes, was supposed to

open at the beginning of July, but


the owners say they now expect to
open toward the end of August or
early September once health inspections are completed.
Crepe Traditions will serve
sweet and savory crepes,
Intelligentsia brand coffee, beer,
wine and soda. Most crepes will
cost between $8 and $10. The
restaurant will be open from 11
a.m. until 10 p.m. Monday through
Saturday and from 11 a.m. until 6
p.m. on Sunday.
It will be a simple menu with
great taste, and the restaurants location has many sophisticated design
aspects, Valluru said.
Valluru said the open-kitchen

restaurant will be high-end but


laid back enough for students to
frequent.
It will look like a cool hangout
space for students to have crepes
and coffee with their friends,
Kovuri said.
Junior Kendall Medford said
she didnt find the original name
offensive.
I think changing the name
is a bit too politically correct,
Mudford said. The initial name
was catchier, but I guess people on
social media can see the offense in
anything.
Taylor Aliano, a junior, has
never had a crepe but said she
would be open to trying the food at

Crepe Traditions.
Crepe Culture is a good name
because of the alliteration, Aliano
said. I dont think they had to
change it.
The restaurant will not deliver,
but Crepe Traditions will cater
events by making fresh crepes on
site using portable crepe grills.
Though the restaurant missed
move-in business, they plan to reach
out to student organizations and
cater campus events.
The Chapel Hill restaurant is
Crepe Traditions first location,
but the business is available for
franchise.

Validity of opt-out marriage license law debated


Proponents invoke officials
First Amendment rights.
Critics cite discrimination.
By Lindsey Brunson
Senior Writer

The N.C. General Assembly


passed a law in June allowing magistrates to opt out of performing
civil marriages that require them
to go against their religious beliefs
but law experts say it could be
irrelevant.
Retired N.C. Supreme Court
Justice Robert Orr, who now
teaches law at UNC, said that state
statutes dont actually require magistrates to perform marriages as
part of their duties.
Frankly, I just think its the
political battle between those who
have supported gay marriage versus
those who have resisted it and supported traditional marriage as the
only viable solution, he said. Its
not good law, its just politics.

Orr said a more effective compromise would be to allow all


notary publics who are stateappointed impartial witnesses to
perform marriage ceremonies if
they want to, allowing more people
to officiate weddings.
As the law currently stands, gay
couples in rural areas where there
are fewer magistrates are at risk of
waiting an inordinate amount of
time for a judge to do it instead, said
UNC law school professor Barbara
Fedders in an email.
The (Raleigh) News & Observer
reported last month that 14 of
the 672 magistrates in the state
have used the law, opting out of
performing any marriages for six
months.
Supporters maintain the purpose of the law is to protect their
First Amendment right to religious
expression.
I dont think really any law can
trump the First Amendment and
in the First Amendment a person is
free to express their religious beliefs,
and that includes all parts of their

lives, said Frank Pray, chairman of


the UNC College Republicans.
But the law strikes a chord with
civil rights advocates who say it
legalizes discrimination such
as Reverend Terence Leathers of
Mount Vernon Christian Church in
Clayton.
I always tell (my congregation)
and I tell everybody that I am
on a journey as it relates to understanding the LGBTQ community,
he said. I may not agree with everything, but Im further along now
than I was a few years ago because I
understand that you may have disagreements about the lifestyle, but
ultimately they are citizens.
The N.C. American Civil Liberties
Union has been at the forefront of
the campaign against the magistrate
recusal law. ACLU spokesman Mike
Meno said they are willing to mount
a case to overturn the law if couples
who have been denied a marriage
license because of the law come forward. None have as of yet.
But Orr said the most effective
way to challenge the law might not

allows magistrates to cite religious beliefs to refuse same-sex marriage licenses.

be taking it directly to court.


Id say spend your money
expanding and modifying the law
as to who performs marriage ceremonies, he said. Thats where
I would focus my efforts, not on

spending a lot of money on attorney


fees challenging a law that frankly
didnt seem to me that even needed
to be passed.

Laptop use required in certain classes, forbidden in others


A study published in
April said handwriting
notes helps learning.
By Ashlen Renner
Senior Writer

As students begin the new


semester, they might see a
divide among their professors. Laptop policies in the
classroom vary.
Some professors ban the
use of laptops to eliminate
students urges to check their
Facebook feed.

In recent years, Ive asked


students not to use their
laptops among other things
because of all the distractions associated with it, said
Kenneth Andrews, a sociology professor. Ive observed
other faculty members classes, and if you sit in the back of
the class and see whats on the
screens, youll see that not all
are taking notes.
Andrews said he has gone
back and forth between
allowing laptops and banning them, now allowing his
upper-level sociology classes
to use their laptops during

group work but ultimately


on rare occasions.
Though studies have
shown that handwriting notes
helps students retain more
information than typing,
some professors have difficulty measuring whether grades
have improved.
John McGowan, an
English professor, told students to shut down their
laptops and other devices two
years ago and hasnt looked
back. He said his policy might
not have necessarily improved
students grades, but it
improved their discussions.

Ive seen an improvement


in conversation in class because
everyone is paying attention,
he said. Theres no reason I
should go back It changes
the dynamic of the classroom
theres not that barrier of the
screens, so theres much more
interchange.
Freshman Alexia Lucas
plans to go into her first week
of classes with pencil and
paper in hand.
Im more of a paper-andpencil type person, she said.
I think laptops and technology is important now, but in
class, I prefer paper.

Some professors allow students to use online programs


during class to enhance their
learning. Statistics professor
Ed Carlstein started using
WebAssign during the spring
semester in his introductory
classes.
He posts two quizzes one
at the beginning of class and
one at the end to keep students engaged. The WebAssign
quizzes are worth 50 percent of
students final grades.
I think not just the use
of laptops but the use of
WebAssign is an aspect of
technology that is helpful,

he said. Instead of assigning


homework and grading it and
getting it back a week later, you
get feedback instantaneously.
Carlstein said his new system has improved performance
in class because students know
to prepare for the opening
quizzes and listen in class to
prepare for the exit quiz.
Without technology, there
would be no way to implement that structure, he
said. I would have so much
quizzes to write and grade; it
would be impossible.

Upon learning of the

review of the department and
called for Nyangoros resignation, the report said.
Strauss said candidates are
aware of the academic-athletic scandal, but it hasnt been a
main issue of the search.
Though they are aware of
the challenges weve faced,
they seem to be drawn to our
strengths and to creating a
situation in which they can
position us for the future,
and thats of course what we
want, he said.

The technologies available


to us today are different than
the technologies that were
available to us seven or eight
years ago, and theyre different than the technologies
that will be available to us in
a decade, said DPS spokesman Randy Young.
Even with modernizations, the system sometimes
fails.
DPS is looking to make
communication smoother
and reduce human error in
the alert system.
Quite frankly, the fewer
human interactions that
are required in the system
reduce potential errors,
McCracken said.
Young and McCracken
explained that throughout
the year, DPS runs various
types of emergency drills,
including tabletop exercises
and real-life drills, and holds
meetings with ITS to ensure
that they are constantly
updating and streamlining
communication.
Winston Crisp, vice chancellor for student affairs,
said he understands Alert
Carolina is still a work in
progress and continues to be
updated.
Theres no system that is
perfect, Crisp said.
Thats why youre constantly testing. Thats why
you constantly learn from
things that happen, and
even when you have a system thats in place, sometimes stuff doesnt work.
People are human and make
mistakes; sometimes what
you think an outcome is
going to be isnt the outcome
you get.
Crisp said the traumatic
toll that emergency situations take on students is
complex but not impossible
to deal with.
He explained that there
is no easy way to fix every

documentation available
today stems from tribes in
the Midwest, Jacobs said, as
many eastern tribes werent
documented during early,
often violent, encounters with
Europeans.
Documents point to the
concept of two-spirited

androgynous or potentially
transgender people who were
often given special roles in
their tribes, she said.
It doesnt really speak to
sexual orientation, although
thats what weve come to

of the new deans first year

minimum of $60,000 plus
expenses, including travel.
Contracts with the firm
obtained through a public
record request, however, state
the retainer with the search
firm is $95,000 with an additional multipurpose expense
account of up to $7,500.
Jett Pihakis, head of the
search for Russell Reynolds,
said the firms key role is to
go out and recruit candidates, as well as help with
logistics, reference checks
and verifying candidates
backgrounds.
Occasionally you do get a
very strong candidate applying from an advertisement,
but the strength of the pool
is much, much greater when
you have someone actively

recruiting for the role,


Pihakis said.
Current Student Body
President Houston Summers,
also a member of the search
committee, said he thinks
affordability is a priority for
undergraduate students and
hopes this will be on the mind
of Gils eventual replacement.
When our university becomes unaffordable, it
becomes a very homogenous
place, Summers said.
Strauss, echoing other
members of the committee, is
optimistic about the search.
I have great confidence
that the process the way
its been constructed will
find us an outstanding dean

Sciences, and that we will
have choices, and thats a
great thing, Strauss said.

response focuses on having
people in place and paying
attention to what students
need.
Its not rocket science;
its not like theres a button
that you can push to sort of
fix everything. We just have
to make sure that were paying attention, that all the
resources that we have available that we make sure that
people know theyre there,
Crisp said.
We have to encourage
everybody from the RAs
to the staff of the residence
hall to faculty members and
everybody else to be paying attention and listening
to students and providing
time for students.
Crisp and the DPS officials said constantly improving Alert Carolina is essential to keep students safe
and informed.
The real key is you have
to figure out what happened,
and then you have to fix it
so that it doesnt happen
again, Crisp said.

Incoming freshmen ushered


in the new school year yesterday afternoon as they met with
fellow students, faculty and
staff to discuss this years summer reading selection, Just
Mercy by Bryan Stevenson,
who visited UNCs campus to
discuss his book with students
at Memorial Hall.
The memoir chronicles
Stevensons work as a capital
defender for his own legal
nonprofit, Equal Justice
Initiative, in Alabama. He
advocated on behalf of impoverished, disadvantaged and
mistreated clients facing an
oft-prejudiced justice system.

and recovery.
The discussion has been
very honest, Folt said.
Its why I love being at
Chapel Hill, but also why I
love being in higher education. You see people learn
things. You see it on their
faces, and you can hear that
growth of thought.
Stevenson, who made Time
Magazines The 100 Most
Influential People of 2015,
addressed his audience with
humor and charm, despite
the grave subject matter he
combats.
Stevenson relayed stories
of unrepresented prisoners
and the profound influence
their pain has had on him,
and he urged his audience to
change the narrative of racial
difference he believes has
defined American society for
centuries.
Stevenson, who is black,
said that his parents were
humiliated every day of their
lives, and he told a recent
anecdote about a judge order-

assumed guilty the moment
they came to trial. Without
means to defend themselves,
many of Stevensons clients
were powerless.
For Frank Baumgartner,
head of the book selection
committee, Stevensons empathy transcends the specific
circumstances of those whom
he represented.
Its definitely not something I expect an incoming
student would have any
personal knowledge of, but
compassion for those who are
powerless and the recognition
of their humanity is very powerful, Baumgartner said.
Incoming students were
tasked with taking on the

Locklear said tribes from
the western United States
held on to those ideas longer
than others.
We kind of took a step
away from that due to the
imposition of Christianity and
colonialism, he said. Its sort
of making a comeback within
the native community.
Kerry Bird, a 1986 UNCChapel Hill graduate who
worked with the University,
was born to a Sisseton
Wahpeton Oyate father and
a Lumbee mother. Though

registered as a member of his


fathers tribe, he grew up in
the Lumbee community.
As a gay Native American,
Bird, 53, said the two tribes
have different relationships
with religion and different
approaches to homosexuality.
Bird said his fathers South
Dakota tribe has explicitly recognized two-spirited
people, making acceptance
somewhat easier.
That type of acknowledgement that they have
I would find a lot harder
to imagine in the Lumbee

community here in North


Carolina, he said.
But Bird said hes had some
recognition from his mothers

funeral mentioned she was

Both sides of Birds family
have been accepting, he said.
They treat his current partner

The Daily Tar Heel

Q&A with Confederate history scholar


Fitzhugh Brundage is a
UNC history professor who
focuses on American history
since the Civil War. His most
recent research focuses on
white and black historical
memory in the South since the
conflict. Daily Tar Heel staff
writer Audrey Wells spoke with
Brundage on Confederate monuments in North Carolina.
The Daily Tar Heel: What are
some of the more notable
Civil War and Confederate
monuments in your opinion?
Fitzhugh Brudange: There are
two confederate memorials
on the state capitol grounds,
so thats a very conspicuous
spot. Silent Sam is obviously
one of the most conspicuous in
the state, both because it is so
famous but also because of its
location on the campus. The
flagship university makes it
very prominent. This is a state
with almost no Civil War battle
sites, unlike a state like Virginia
or Tennessee, so we dont have
very many spaces in the state
that are dense with monuments from the Civil War.
DTH: Are these monuments
more historically crucial than
the Confederate flag, especially with the debate around
the Confederate flag in South
Carolina?
FB: If the Confederate battle
flag is taken down, its a very

important political statement,


a very important development, but, in terms of what Ill
call historical preservation, it
doesnt make any difference at
all. Monuments, on the other
hand, are artifacts which I
have no issue with a majority of people in a community
wanting to move a monument
or remove a monument or to
erect more monuments. But
of course, I hope they will preserve the monument itself in
some way because (it is) a historical artifact. Its interesting
who erected it, how they raised
the money for it and what they
erected it for. I would rather
see it preserved than destroyed,
but thats separate and apart
from removing it.
DTH: Do these monuments
have any effect on the hate
versus heritage debate?
FB: I think the monuments
have become convenient
touchstones for a much larger
argument. The landscape of
North Carolina is dotted with
Confederate memorials and
memorials to Confederate

Local startups get a little help taking off


SWAP Socks

BlipMe

Tribal Intel

Earlier this month, seven startups joined


accelerator program Launch Chapel Hill to
help get their businesses off the ground.
The 22-week program is designed to give
the budding firms structure and guidance as
they work to turn their ideas into sustainable
businesses.
Starting a business is a lot of work, said
Patrick Mateer, UNC alumnus and CEO of participating company Seal the Seasons. They are
helping us grow in a sustainable, healthy way.
Heres what each company is working on:

The reason people wear


mismatched socks could be more
important than it appears thanks
to SWAP Socks, a company that
purposefully mismatches its socks
to encourage discussion about
visual impairment.
Our socks function as a wearable statement to show
support for sight, founder Roger Nahum said.
Nahum said the companys partnership with the Seva
Foundation, an organization that delivers eye care services
to people in developing countries, allows the firm to provide eye care to those most in need.

BlipMe offers users the chance


to share their real-time locations
so that a busy night out doesnt
turn into a lost night out.
BlipMe is all about making
the going-out experience simpler,
safer and also just a lot more fun,
founder Ricky McMahon said.
The app is built around that and offers features that
will improve your social experience.
A Kenan-Flagler Business School MBA candidate,
McMahon said the app is currently available on iOS and will
be available on Android within the next few months.

Designed to help sales organizations improve what they do,


Tribal Intel works backwards, taking customer engagements and
feedback to figure out the key to
a companys success.
But company CEO and KenanFlagler alumnus Scott King said Tribal Intel offers something new to customers: efficiency.
Theres no one really in the marketplace that does what
we do, because in one fell swoop, we are combining the
sales process, sales training, marketing content as well as
sales content in one location, King said.

From Piedmont vegetables


to southeastern North Carolina
blueberries, farmers across thee

produce, and Seal the Seasons is
providing them year-round.
We worked with these farms
to freeze, market and distribute their food to allow North
Carolinians to eat their food all year round and, in turn, support these small family farms all year round, Mateer said.
Customers can find Seal the Seasons frozen produce
now at Weaver Street Market. Mateer said the company is
working to get its product into more locations.

After taking a year off from


UNC to build data analytics
software, Simon Jung and his
co-founder Akash Ganapathi are
eager to launch their startup.
Basically, we mine a lot of
unstructured news sources like
The New York Times, StockTwits and Twitter about financial
securities in this case stocks as well as quarterly filings that the companies submit to the SEC, Jung said.
Designed to help asset managers, the app compiles,
analyzes and outputs data for the financial professionals to
better look after their money.

After founding Textile


Solutions in the summer of 2014,
Kenan-Flagler MBA candidate
Daniel Almirall is ready to give it
his full attention.
Textile Solutions works with
manufacturing companies within
the plastics and textile industries to help them recycle their

their efficiency and sustainability.
Its been pretty low-touch, but now that Ive made the
commitment to Launch, Im hoping to invest a lot more into
it, Almirall said.

UNC spends $15M on Hill Hall renovations


Monthslong work will
add air conditioning
and update acoustics.
By Carly Berkenblit
Staff Writer

The $15 million renovations to Hill Halls auditorium have altered the daily
routine for music students
and faculty alike.
A lot of activities that
people are used to seeing and
doing have to be moved for
a year for construction, said
Tonu Kalam, music director
and conductor of the UNC
Symphony Orchestra.
The plans for the renovations were put forth due to
the old age of the building,
among other reasons.
It was never designed
acoustically to be a performance space, professor

Louise Toppin, chairwoman


of the Department of Music,
said in an email. And it
lacks air conditioning, which
rendered it useless in warm
weather.
The auditorium opened
in 1907 as Carnegie Library
before it was converted into a
performance space.
Construction will completely redesign the auditorium
acoustically and update heating and cooling capacities.
All of our students, faculty
and guests will have a stateof-the-art concert space, and
the areas surrounding it will
be what one expects when
they attend an event on the
UNC campus, Jeffrey Fuchs,
director of University bands,
said in an email.
In addition to the stateof-the-art auditorium, the
buildings classrooms will
also be modernized.
The classrooms will get an

upgrade and get more up-todate technology, Kalam said.


I think (the renovations) will help our faculty
who teach the music theory
classes because they will have
more equipment.
The renovations, which
started at the beginning of
summer and are scheduled
to finish in September 2016,
mean that offices, classes
and lessons have moved to
Kenan Music Building and
Person Hall.
We have also relocated all
of our inventory to a storage
facility off campus, Fuchs
said. It will require us to plan
ahead a little more, and we
know that we will need 30

minutes to make a trip to the


storage facility if necessary.
Part of the building is still
usable during construction, but
the closing of the back entrance
has limited access to Hill Hall.
Faculty are confident the
benefits of the renovation will
outweigh the constructions
inconveniences.
This renovation supports the excellence of the

to provide even better programming and classes for

UNC emojis get lukewarm reaction


The emojis must be
downloaded to the
camera roll first.
By Colleen Moir
Senior Writer

For UNC students, UNCthemed emojis were somewhat limited, with the blue
heart and two little rams as
the only options for fans to
show their digital school spirit in text messages and social
media until now.
The Department of
Athletics has developed
eight UNC-themed emoji
stickers available for download on iOS and Android
devices. In order to use the

emojis, users must download


the images to the camera
roll, after which they can
insert them as images into
text fields.
Lynnea Phillips, social
media coordinator for the
athletic department, said she
came up with the idea for
the stickers, and the departments design intern, senior
Keely McKenzie, spent an
afternoon designing them.
Phillips said about 20 minutes were spent designing
each sticker.
Were really taking a cue
from the professional sports
teams, Phillips said. Its
becoming a trend. I think
well definitely see more not
just schools but organizations making (the stickers).

Right now its mainly football and baseball that have


really embraced it besides
colleges.
Phillips said so far the
University of Nebraska and
Mississippi State University
have released similar emoji
stickers available for download.
We wanted to jump on
that trend and give back to
our fans, Phillips said. We
know the things we do on
digital and social media are
really important, and we
wanted to do something new
and interesting and cool.
Freshman Morgan Holder
was impressed by the new
stickers, but she said she
might not use them until
theyre easier to access.
Downloading them

sounds like a lot of effort,


but if they were more convenient, Id definitely use them,
Holder said.
Phillips said the emojis
are offered as downloadable
images instead of a keyboard
like the one traditional
emojis are offered on to save
money.
We were able to make these
on the cheap, Phillips said.
Phillips said it would have
been more expensive to offer
the emojis through an application, but offering them
as images on the athletic
department website was a
free option.
Senior Will Jarvis said he
thought the stickers were a
cool idea, but he probably
wouldnt use them.
Its probably too much
time to actually go in the
browser and download the
emojis, Jarvis said.
Phillips said another set
of the emojis will be coming out soon after her office
receives feedback on the
first set.
Weve had people respond
and ask why certain things
werent included, and we
took suggestions, Phillips
said. We had a few ask about
some of the more popular
emoji faces, like sassy girl and
the heart eyes. It was great to
hear feedback and build off
of that.
Junior Nick Bui liked the
stickers but said he also probably wouldnt use them himself.

UNC rolls out eight new emoji-based stickers


The Department of Athletics based some of the characters on commonly used emojis
revamped with UNC-themed colors, while the department designed others off
UNC-specific themes like Stuart Scotts well-known exclamation boo-yah.

I dont use emojis very


often, so its not for me, Bui
said. But I could see some
people using them.
Phillips said shes excited
for the opportunities the stickers will offer UNC athletics.

We think this is a cool way


to increase our brand and
give the fans a new way to
share our new look and feel,
Phillips said.

#whytheDTH: How to join the DTH


Inside

The Daily Tar Heel


Newsroom

Editor-in-chief: Why you should join the DTH


So you want to join The
Daily Tar Heel. Or maybe you
arent sure. Or maybe you
havent even thought about it.
The application closes at
5 p.m. on Aug. 31. If youre
thinking about joining, youve
got plenty of time. If youre
hesitant, Ive got 10 reasons
why you shouldnt be.
1. The DTH is a great source
of real journalism experience.
We give you real-world
experience, surrounded by
students with similar aspirations. You arent turning
something in for a grade.
Every time you submit an
assignment, youll see it in
print or online the next day.
2. But if you arent a journalism major, you arent alone.
A lot of people join the
DTH to make friends, try
something new or hone a
skill not because journalism is what theyre studying or what they want to do
when they graduate.
3. Were all friends here.
Seriously, if you attend my
future wedding, you probably
worked at the DTH with me.
I watch so many people find a
family here every day.
4. We want to be more representative of our student body.
If you think you can bring
a different idea or viewpoint
to the table, were all ears.
We understand that the only
way we can really serve our
community is if we represent
our community.
5. Curiosity is our only
job requirement.
Do you love asking questions and wondering about
the world around you?
Of course you do. So do we.
Every day, we make a paper
where we strive to answer
the questions we and our fellow students and community

members are asking.


6. Were making serious
digital strides, but we still
respect the print product.
People our age get their
news on Twitter, Facebook,
Reddit all of that crazy
stuff. And the DTH strives to
be there because our readers
are there. But weve also been
in print for almost 123 years,
and were not stopping any
time soon.
7. Speaking of 123 years
We celebrate our birthday,
Feb. 23, with cake every year.
Its a really big cake.
8. You always have someone to get cheese fries at
Lindas with you.
Our weekly tradition is to
get cheese fries and grownup drinks at Lindas Bar and
Grill on Franklin Street every
Thursday. But well go any
day of the week. Or multiple times in one day. If you
havent been to Lindas yet,
someone at the DTH will be
happy to introduce you.
9. Youll see us everywhere
Have you met Kelsey
Weekman, UNCs Twitter
personality and our online
managing editor? How about
Drew Goins and Alison Krug,
our theater geniuses and copy
chiefs? Weve got some pretty
cool staff for you to meet.
10. And most importantly,
we have free M&Ms at the
front desk every day.
To be fair, well fight over
these. You have to get here
early. But as small as it seems,
theres nothing more comforting than a handful of M&Ms
when youre probably going to
miss your deadline.

Tar Heels secondary gets new top commander


By C Jackson Cowart
Assistant Sports Editor

Charlton Warren respected


North Carolina head coach
Larry Fedora from the
moment he met him.
That was in 1997 when
Warren was a 20-yearold defensive back at the
Air Force Academy and
Fedora was the Falcons
passing game coordinator.
Fedora spent just two years
in Colorado Springs, but
Warren admired the coachs
focused and fiery demeanor
long after he left.
So when Fedora came calling 18 years later, offering
Warren the opportunity to
become the Tar Heels new
defensive backs coach, the
38-year-old couldnt resist
joining forces once again.
Hes a coach you want to
be around, Warren said.
Whatever hes asking his
assistants to be doing, to
outwork him is going to be
hard. And thats the thing
you love about him. Its
going to be hard to outwork
your head coach.
If anybody can, its Warren.
The new UNC assistant
coach has been hailed for his
relentless work ethic, and the
proof is on the field.
In Warrens lone season
with Nebraska in 2014, the
Huskers defense placed
fourth in the nation in pass
efficiency defense. And in his
previous nine years coaching
the secondary at Air Force
including six seasons as
the Falcons defensive coor-

Charlton Warren is the UNC football teams new defensive backs coach. Warren spent several years coaching at the Air Force Academy.

dinator his squad finished


in the top six in the nation
in pass defense three times,
including second in 2010.
With such a pedigree of
success, its no surprise that
Fedora turned to his onetime player to change the
culture of a struggling last
line of defense.
It started back when the
announcement was made that

we were making a change,


Fedora said. There was just
a sense of change and a sense
of excitement.
This season, Warren will
be tasked with improving a
defensive unit that ranked
101st in passing yards allowed
and 115th in passing efficiency defense in 2014.
But for a secondary stacked
with capable young talent,

the difference between victory


and defeat could come down
to some old-fashioned, militaristic discipline.
Hes a great technician,
said junior cornerback Brian
Walker of his new leader.
We all have talent, but we all
know it takes more than that
to be successful at this level.
Hes hard on us, and thats
what we all needed.

Warren knew when he


accepted the UNC job that
his new secondary was in
desperate need of focus and
accountability.
So when it came time to
drill the basic fundamentals,
he employed a tough love
approach.
You set a standard, and
if you dont live up to that
standard in any way, there

(are) consequences to those


actions, Warren said. You
dont get playing time until
we do it the way we want it to
be done.
Its good to try hard, but
at some point youve got to
produce.
Warren is no stranger to
production. Under his watch,
the Falcons went to six bowl
games during his nine-year
coaching tenure.
In addition to his coaching success, the Air Force
alumnus guided his alma
matter to two straight
10-win seasons and their
only outright conference
title in 1998, when his teammates bestowed upon him
the Mr. Intensity Award.
As a coach, Warren still
hasnt lost his fire.
The whole defensive staff
is bringing the energy, said
junior safety Dominquie
Green. Were just receiving
the energy off of them, and
its pushing us.
Its the same energy that
fueled another defensive
back nearly two decades ago,
when Fedora was the disciplinarian and Warren was
the disciple.
He leads these guys the
right way, said Warren of his
former coach. He makes sure
they toe the line and do what
he asks them to do.
(Fedora) sets a standard
for the coaches and the players, he said.
Its a standard that Warren
is fit to maintain.

The universities new

Instead, jerseys with generic

sold to fans.
This year, UNC featured

UNC might enact a policy that prohibits jerseys with prominent players numbers from being sold.

Nike selects jersey numbers, and they do that in the


first quarter of each calendar (year) for both football
and basketball, so were

already locked in for what


those numbers are going to
be, he said. Well have a
different policy in place for
next year.
But the specifics of that policy are still under discussion.
We are currently discussing with (the office of trademarks and licensing) what
our policies and procedures
will be moving forward, Rick
Steinbacher, senior associate
athletic director for external
communications, said. Weve
talked about it for a number
of years.
Steinbacher said he does
not know whether generic
numbers would change jersey
sales, but he said he thought
jerseys would continue to sell
well because of the schools
athletic tradition. Steinbacher
played football at UNC and
said he would have been
thrilled to see fans wearing
his number.
But jersey numbers sold
in UNC Student Stores are
chosen by the manufacturer,
not by the school. Because
the jerseys sell through
Student Stores, any residual
funds from these sales go to
non-athletic need- and meritbased scholarships.
Nike always decides what
the numbers are, Dawn
Colclough, a clothing receiver
and stocker at UNC Student

Stores, said.
Basketball jerseys currently being sold online in
Student Stores include jersey
Nos. 2 and 5, while a No. 3
football jersey is also available. The jerseys correspond
with the numbers of Joel
Berry II, Paige and Ryan
Switzer, respectively.
Colclough said players have
a sense of pride when they
see their numbers for sale on
a jersey.
In the past Ive seen the
players themselves come by,
and I can tell that they like
seeing their jerseys being
sold, she said.
Steve Kirschner, senior
associate athlete director for
communications, said he did
not know if UNC would follow its peer institutions and
change its jersey policy in the
near future.
UNC fans will get at least
another year to wear the
same number on their backs
as their favorite players,
but tighter regulations will
continue to change the landscape of player representation in retailers.
Ives declined to comment
about whether the University
profits directly from student
athletes by selling jerseys with
their numbers.

MFA grad crowdfunds to spend month in Iceland


Sydney Steen was
inspired by countrys
different world.
By Christine Bang
Staff Writer

Nowadays it costs most


artists more money to purchase supplies for their work
than they can earn from it.
Sydney Steen, a 2015 graduate of UNCs studio art masters
program, turned to crowdfunding to pay for her artist
residency program in Iceland,
which she completed in June.
For every donation and
so far shes raised nearly
$2,300 shes sending a
one-of-a-kind drawing to
her donors.
Steen said she felt inspired
and connected to her environment in Iceland.
Im interested in seeing
how the landscape reflects a
lot of our internal thoughts
and experiences, she said.

She and three other artists hiked to a mountain


peak in Gullkistan, Iceland,
for the summer solstice, an
Icelandic tradition.
The top was a field of
ice and freezing. It was a
completely different world,
Steen said.
A testament to her growth
as an artist, she created drawings of fictional landscapes
inspired by Iceland rather
than painting exactly what
she saw.
As the glacier is receding, the lagoon gets bigger,
and iceberg chunks come
off, said Steen. It was really
beautiful, but then you realize its so beautiful because
the glaciers are receding,
which is really bittersweet.
The director of graduate
studies of studio practice,
elin oHara slavick (who
prefers her name spelled
lowercase), got to know Steen
well through the masters
program.
Shes a thoughtful, ethical

and a generous, good person,


slavick said. She was interested in other peoples work
as with her own.
Slavick said that in her 21
years of teaching, Steen was
one of her most hardworking
students, referencing Steens
drive to push herself and create something new by experimenting with different media
and materials.
We were really fortunate
to be in this program that
had a lot of really amazing artists and people, said
Allison Tierney, another 2015
program graduate.
Everyone was there to
support one another.
Eleven people were in
Steen and Tierneys graduating class; both said it was a
tight-knit, supportive community of artists.
Steen hadnt always
planned on pursuing art as
a career.
But that changed in her
early college years with
encouragement from profes-

As the glacier
is receding, the
lagoon gets bigger,
and iceberg chunks
come off. It was
really beautiful.
elin oHara slavick,
director of graduate studies of studio
practice

sors and peers, and her style


evolved from pure paintings
to sculptures.
Inspired by her experiences in the masters program at UNC and abroad,
Steen is searching for a job
to teach art, a field she grew
to love.
Art is the one subject that
can incorporate any topic in
the world, she said.
Art includes all of these
other ways of thinking and
making.

Second chance for end-of-semester stuff


By Rebecca Brickner
Senior Writer

The beginnings and ends


of semesters are marked by
many things: stress, a flurry
of hasty packing and often
piles of furniture and WalMart rugs being thrown away.
Sensing a need for a
Craigslist-like marketplace,
two Duke alumni have created The Campus Market, a
more sustainable way for students to discard their items.
At the end of each school
year as an undergrad, I
noticed that there were gently
used items left at the curbside, and I wouldnt really get
the full-dollar amount of use
out of things like textbooks,
said co-founder Brad Stinson.
Essentially, tons and tons
of furniture and items are discarded by university students,
so were going to universities
and reaching out to sustainability departments to establish ourselves as a service for

students to use.
Launched earlier this year,
the startup has already seen
growth with 22 college campuses on the east coast. More
than 18,000 students have
signed up for the free service.
The burgeoning business
has a growing presence on
eight campuses in North
Carolina: UNC-Chapel Hill,
Wake Forest University, Duke
University, UNC-Wilmington,
East Carolina University,
Appalachian State University,
Western Carolina University
and N.C. State University.
Unlike Craigslist, an open
market with no safety checks,
Stinsons market requires an
email address ending in .edu
and subsequent verification.
We are using safety checks
that universities have in place
to make sure our users are safe
and verified, Stinson said.
And users have noticed the
extra safety measures.
Craigslist can be a little
sketchy when you dont know

who youre dealing with, said


UNC graduate student Kathie
Sun. Students can feel safer
and more secure selling to
other students.
UNC freshman Anna
Hostetler, who has browsed
on Craigslist but never made
a purchase, said that she
thought the new market was
a good idea.
It does seem safer.
Theres a lot of spam stuff on
Craigslist, so this seems like a
much safer venue to buy and
sell, she said.
(A market) for students
by students seems like a good
way to do it because it would
be local, safe, and the prices
would probably be more fair
because, lets be real, college
students are poor.
At UNC, almost 2,000
students have signed up for
the market, but so far, the
marketplace at N.C. State is
the largest in the network
with over 7,000 students
signed up.

Each market is also selfcontained, so if youre a UNC


student, youll only see posts
from other UNC students. Its
much safer to go across campus to pick something up than
driving 30 minutes to some
random persons house or a
dark alley somewhere to pick
something up, Stinson said.
However, Stinson hopes to
keep expanding the service
and is considering allowing
some interactions between
markets on college campuses
that are in close proximity, like
UNC-Chapel Hill and Duke.
Even though there is the
hope of expansion, Stinson
wants to keep the original values of his business.
The Campus Market is 100
percent free and always will
be. College is expensive as it
is, and it would be unfair and
inconsiderate of us to charge
students an upfront fee to use
this service, Stinson said.

Tar Heel seniors hold NCAA title hopes


The field hockey
team starts quest for
seventh title.
By Will Bryant
Staff Writer

After falling in the Final


Four each of her first three
years, senior forward Casey
Di Nardo feels like she and
the three other seniors on
the North Carolina field
hockey team have something
to prove.
This year, were all really
fired up, said Di Nardo following Saturdays scrimmage
against Liberty. We really
want to win it.
And in order to secure the
program its seventh national championship, the Tar
Heels plan on using their
experience to hurdle the
Final Four stumbling block
in 2015.
Joining Di Nardo in
senior leadership is Emily
Wold, who competed for
gold medal-winning Team
USA in the Pan-American
games this summer.
Wold, who finished the
2014 season with 10 assists,
tying with two other players
for the team lead, expressed
the urgency to capture a
national championship in her
final collegiate season.
For my senior season,
to go out and win would be
incredible icing on the
cake, Wold said.
I love it here. I wouldnt
want to be any other place.
To have that championship
would be really special.
Along with Wold and Di
Nardo, the Tar Heels return
senior midfielder and back
Nina Notman. As a junior,
she started all 23 games and
finished second on the team
with 34 points.
Between Wold, Di Nardo
and Notman, a lot of emotion
is going into this season in
an attempt to finally grab the

prize that has evaded them


for three years.
In addition to Wolds experience with the national team,
the Tar Heels also welcome
championship experience
in the form of new assistant
coach Laree Beans.
Beans served as the captain of UNCs 2007 national
championship team, which
finished the season undefeated. She brings a wealth
of knowledge to the coaching staff and the Tar Heels
freshman class.
Midfielder Ashley Hoffman
leads UNCs freshman class,
but she is far from a rookie
in the eyes of the Tar Heel
coaching staff.
Ashley is one of our core
people as a freshman, coming
in in January, Coach Karen
Shelton said. I dont even
view her as a freshman.
Hoffman is one of 11
freshmen on the team,
including forward Austyn
Cuneo. Cuneo holds the
national high school record
for goals in a career with
328, which is 137 more than
the next closest player.
Despite the influx of
young talent, the main burden of leading the Tar Heels
to their first national championship since 2009 falls on
the seniors.
When Di Nardo was questioned about the pressure
of being a senior at such a
distinguished program, she
referenced the chemistry of
the squad, even this early in
the season.
We have everyone that can
score; its less pressure on one
person, Di Nardo said. I feel
like I can pass to anyone. Its
a team effort.
Pressure on the Tar Heel
offense was almost nonexistent in 2014, as junior goalie
Shannon Johnson held opponents to a goals-against average of .87. The mark ranked
No. 1 in the ACC.
But even with stellar play
on the defensive end, Shelton

said North Carolina will need


consistent effort from everyone to pull out close games
in 2015.
We have to establish personality and habits early, she

said. We want to be the hardest working team.


Because the Tar Heels have
something to prove.

UNC-system happenings

Part of a weekly update


on UNC-system schools.

Compiled by Assistant State & National


Editor Benji Schwartz.

N.C. A&T explores STEM field

$1.58 million grant for FSU

UNC-P goes solar for cells

Transgender policy at ECU

Middle school minority boys will work


with local innovators at N.C. Agricultural &
Technical State University to develop technology-related skills in the newly dubbed
Minority Male Makers Program. According
to its website, Verizon started the program
with N.C. A&T because African-American
men account for only 5 percent of college
students and are more likely than any other
ethnic group in the United States not to
finish high school on time, to be unemployed or to be incarcerated.
The program lasts four weeks during the
summer and will have check-in sessions
and ongoing mentoring programs throughout the 2015-16 school year.

Fayetteville State Universitys


Department of Special Programs secured a
$1.68 million grant in August.
The U.S. Department of Education
gave $270 million to 968 institutions of
higher education to increase the number
of low-income college students, firstgeneration students and those with disabilities who successfully complete postsecondary education.
For over 20 years FSUs Student
Support Services has assisted in retaining and producing graduates and we are
excited about continuing the work, Andrea
Neal, the director of special programs at
FSU, told the Board of Governors.

UNC-Pembroke took steps in environmental sustainability over the summer by


adding a solar-powered smart table where
students can charge their phones and two
new electric car-charging stations.
The universitys Sustainability Office
also plans to make the campus carbon
neutral by 2050. A $1.3 million LED-light
replacement plan is set to begin in the
2015-16 school year. UNC-P expects costs
to be paid back in seven years. The project
is part of a $26 million program across 14
state universities.
The race is on to reduce our carbon
footprint, Jay Blauser, UNC-Ps sustainability director, said in a news release.

Transgender students at East Carolina


University will now have a more clearly
defined place on club and intramural
teams at the school.
In July, ECU released a new policy on
transgender student participation in club
and intramural sports.
As it stands, transgender individuals
at ECU can now join club and intramural
sports teams with members of the gender
they identify with.
To discourage individuals who would try
to claim to be transgender to fill a missing spot on a different team, a transgender
student must participate as a single gender
during a year.

On the wire: national and world news


Obamas climate plan to
face multistate suit
WASHINGTON, D.C.
President Barack Obamas
climate change plan will be
challenged in the courts this
fall when lawyers representing at least 15 states join the
coal and power industries to
block the carbon-reducing
rules before they take effect.
They will argue that
the Clean Air Act does not
authorize a national push

against greenhouse gases


and that states should not
be forced to begin changing
their systems for producing electric power until the
legality of Obamas plan has
been upheld by the Supreme
Court.
Another court battle could
arise over a wording glitch,
similar to one recently fought
over the Affordable Care
Act, as well as a dispute over
whether an obscure provision in an amendment to the

antipollution law authorizes a


broad 21st century campaign
against greenhouse gases.
Critics have called the
move an illegal power grab.
The White House
described its new rule as
fair and flexible because it
allows states to decide how
best to reduce greenhouse
gases. The EPA plan calls
for a 32 percent reduction
in carbon pollution by 2030.
These are the first-ever limits
on carbon pollution from
power plants.

Airstrikes near Damascus


kills 82 Syrian civilians
CAIRO At least 82
civilians, including children,
were killed Sunday in Syrian
army airstrikes on a busy
market in a rebel-held town
near Damascus, a monitoring
group reported.
The Syrian Observatory
for Human Rights said the

strikes on the town of Douma


in the eastern outskirts of the
capital also wounded 250,
dozens of them seriously.
Syrian President Bashar
Assads military has stepped
up air raids on Douma and
other rebel-held areas near
Damascus in recent months
in retaliation for rockets
fired by the insurgents on the
capital.
On Sunday, insurgents
from the Lebanese militant
group Hezbollah battled
alongside Assads troops
against Islamist rebels in the
strategic town of al-Zabadani near the border with
Lebanon.
Government forces and
Hezbollah fighters partially
controlled the western part of
al-Zabadani, according to the
SANA news agency.
On Saturday, a temporary
cease-fire in al-Zabadani collapsed. The town is one of the
last strongholds of Islamist

TSA heightens security


after failed bomb drills
LOS ANGELES If
the security lines at the airport seem to be moving a
bit slower, its because the
Transportation Security
Administration has increased
passenger scrutiny after
reports that agents failed to
detect fake bombs carried by
undercover agents.
After news leaked early
this summer that 67 of 70
fake bombs got past TSA
agents in regular security
tests, the acting TSA administrator was replaced with
Coast Guard Vice Adm. Peter
Neffenger, who has called for
all airport security agents to
be retrained by the end of
September.
Neffenger also called for
other changes that might
mean slower lines at airport
security checkpoints.
He told a congressional
panel in Washington last
month that the agency would
reintroduce hand-held metal
detectors whenever a flier sets
off an alarm on a full-body
scanner. Over the past few
years, agents have primarily
used pat-down searches when
an alarm is triggered, but
pat-down searches reportedly
missed at least one of the fake
bombs.
Neffenger also called for
the increased use of swab
tests to check passengers

hands for traces of explosives.


In the past few years, TSA
agents have allowed regular
passengers into precheck
lines when standard screening lines grew too long. TSA
officials said that practice will
be scaled back.

Ecuador opens wallet for


national digital currency
QUITO, Ecuador Taxi
driver Jaime Rojas keeps
his antiquated cellphone on
the dashboard of his vehicle.
He cant use it to play games
or check Facebook, but his
dumb phone has recently
become a powerful tool: He
can use it to buy gas, receive
fares and send money to family.
Mobile banking has been
around for a decade, but this
small Andean nation recently
became the first country in
the world to create its own
virtual currency. Unlike
Bitcoin, Ripple or Peercoin
cryptocurrencies without
backing from a central bank
Ecuadors dinero electronico is legal tender, trading
alongside the U.S. dollar,
which has been Ecuadors
official currency since 2000.
Authorities say the mobile
money scheme is a way to
jump-start small businesses
and offer financial services to
those in remote areas where
banks are scarce. Skeptics,
however, fear the system
opens up a back door for the
cash-strapped administration
to shed the restrictions of its
dollarized economy and, just
perhaps, print its own digital currency.

Q&A on race with education professor


Assistant professor Dana
Thompson Dorsey in the UNC
School of Education views
N.C. Senate Bill 343 as a way
for the N.C. General Assembly
to dismantle the public education system.
The bill states that assault
on a school official including teachers, principals and
bus drivers by a student
16 years or older would be
a misdemeanor on the first
offense, with subsequent
ones classified as felonies.
Students with disabilities
who have individualized
education plans and accommodations would be excluded
from these penalties.
Thompson Dorsey said the
bill could apply largely to disadvantaged or disciplinarily
challenged students. Staff
writer Joe Martin spoke with
Thompson Dorsey about the
bill and her views.

Dana
Thompson
Dorsey is a
professor in
the School of
Education. She
teaches about
race and law.
The Daily Tar Heel: What is the
rationale for such a harsh
penalty?
Dana Thompson Dorsey: When
you put a bill like this into
place, what happens is you
have more students who end
up in the criminal system
than in the educational system. We already have a large
percentage of students of
colors particularly AfricanAmerican males who
end up being suspended or
expelled for doing the same
exact things that their white
counterparts do. It gives the

benefit of the doubt to the


school official that it truly is
assault and not that the student was defending him- or
herself, or that there may be
extenuating circumstances.
What is already existing in
schools in terms of these
biases that are leading to
these exorbitant amount of
suspensions and expulsions
of students this may now
ratchet that up and now not
only lead to suspension or
expulsion, but criminal penalties for the student.
DTH: State Sen. Jerry
Tillman, R-Randolph, cites
an increasing number of
assaults occurring in schools
during the 2013-14 school
year. Is this a good rationale
for the bill?
DTD: I would need more detail
about why that increase

occurred. If theres also more


of a police presence in schools
these days, with school
resource officers, also known as
SROs we have that increased
presence, which can bring
problems on (its) own. With
that increased presence, there
can be more agitation, fear,
confrontation. These are situations that can occur that may
also be a result of people misunderstanding peoples actions
or cultural and racial biases.
I definitely dont think a bill
like this needs to go into effect
until we address some of these
other biases that I mentioned
and the disproportionality of
suspensions and expulsions
that already exist.
DTH: What would the implications be if this bill does
pass? You discussed the racial
aspect of it, but will we see
people being thrown in pris-

on? Do you see the assaults


statistic decreasing?
DTD: While race has something
to do with it, I also think
students of other races and
ethnicities will also be affected
by this. Lets say a school official or employee is breaking
up a fight and, in breaking
up a fight, gets hit by another
student. There is nothing in
the wording of this bill where
those extenuated circumstances would be considered. If you
got into a fight, you got punished with in-school or outof-school suspension, and this
bill criminalizes that behavior
if a school employee is also hit
in the process.
And the word assault
is used. Not assault and
battery. Not battery, but
assault. Assault is not necessarily hitting someone;
battery is. Assault can be

imminent threat or danger to


someone else. So getting in
a teachers face, getting too
close to the teacher because
youre arguing with a teacher
you may be disagreeing
about something and now
youre in the teachers face.
If the teacher felt like they
were in imminent danger
or a threat was being done
to them, then that could be
assault, even if they never laid
a hand on that teacher. And
once again, this gets into cultural biases. A teacher may be
more fearful of a student who
is of a certain height, stature
or race or ethnicity or gender
than others.

Ackland: Collection Highlights

FRANK Gallery: Renaissance

LIGHT Art + Design: Summer Show

The Ackland Art Museum is showcasing a four-part


presentation from their permanent collection in an exhibition titled Highlights from the Permanent Collection.
The Western Tradition exhibit features various time
periods, mediums and cultures chosen from over the
Acklands 17,000 permanent pieces. Featured in Art
from China and Japan, Art from Southern and Western
Asia and African Art are wooden sculptures, glazed
stoneware and even a Liberian tribal mask that was created with a variety of mediums, including human hair.
College students will enjoy the contemporary nature
of the art, said Melinda Rittenhouse, the Ackland Stores
assistant manager.
Many of the pieces are religious, featuring prominent
figures in Hinduism and Buddhism.
A lot of these things have never been on display
before, Rittenhouse said. Its a fantastic exhibit.
The free exhibit opened Aug. 11 and will remain open
to the public until Jan. 3.

The FRANK Gallery is currently presenting


Renaissance: A Book Arts Exhibition, which opened
Aug. 11. The exhibition features North Carolina artists
from the Triangle and Asheville, as well as artists from
Chattanooga, Tenn.
Most pieces are made from the materials of old books
and reflect the artists personal view of renaissance or
rebirth, like Re: Retreat, a collection of experiences
from a silent meditation retreat.
Its an opportunity to engage with the art, said gallery
manager Torey Mishoe.
Many of the works can be physically handled. Read a
Poem. Record a Poem. Author a Poem. is a ceramic piece
that allows visitors to arrange its many wooden trays
each with a miscellaneous word like forest, lovely or
yes to create an original poem.
The creativity level is surprising, and Im not surprised by art anymore, Mishoe said.
The free exhibit will remain open until Sept. 6.

OPENING: Summer Show has been on display since


July 17, but the first week of school provides new and
returning students a chance to enjoy what they missed
this summer.
The exhibit has a wide-ranging display of sculptures,
fiber work and other pieces that combine paper and natural elements like twigs and branches.
It also features oil paintings, like Question with Circle
in the Square, by Chapel Hill artist Katherine Armacost.
Its a great gallery representing local artists in the
area, said gallery manager Sarah Blaine.
Other local artists include Beatrice Coron, Lynda
Curry, Green Daniel, Dail Dixon, Marguerite Jay Gignoux,
Harriet Hoover, Anne Lemanksi, Rachel Meginnes,
Daniel Rickey, Leigh Suggs and John Webb.
Located at 601 W. Rosemary St. Suite 110, LIGHT Art
+ Design offers free admission to the exhibition. After
approximately a month on view, OPENING: Summer
Show will close Aug. 22.

UNC volleyball team relishes spotlight


The Tar Heels enter
the season ranked
No. 7 in the country.

Victoria McPherson

Year: Senior
Position: Middle blocker
Height: 6-foot-2
McPherson was selected to the All-ACC Second
Team in 2014 after leading the ACC with 1.48
blocks per set, the best mark in UNC history.

By C Jackson Cowart
Assistant Sports Editor

There are no whispers


during practice. No shy murmurs, no anxious thoughts.
For the North Carolina
volleyball team, there is no
elephant in the room.
We dont really dwell
on it, said senior Victoria
McPherson. But when it
comes out, we know.
Were all aware of our
ranking.
Fresh off a school-record
29-3 campaign, the Tar
Heels open the 2015 season
as the preseason favorites to
repeat as ACC Champions
and boast a No. 7 ranking
tied for their highest in
school history.
"(Last season) was special,
Coach Joe Sagula said. Weve
done something weve wanted
to do for quite some time
and move the program up to
a national position and to
stay there.
For years, UNC has played
the role of spoiler, eager to
crash the party of the perennial contenders. But during the 2014 season, North

Paige Neuenfeldt
Year: Senior
Position: Middle blocker
Height: 6-foot-2
Neuenfeldt earned All-ACC First Team honors in
2014 after ranking third in the ACC in blocks per
set and fifth in the ACC in hitting percentage.

Taylor Treacy
Year: Redshirt junior
Position: Outside hitter/opposite hitter
Height: 6-foot-2
Treacy was named to the Minneapolis Regional
All-Tournament team during the 2014 NCAA
Tournament.
Carolina staked its own claim,
defeating No. 3 Florida State
and holding its own in a loss
to second-seeded Texas in the
NCAA quarterfinals.
This year, the novelty has
worn off UNC has arrived.
The targets bigger on our
back, Sagula said. For years
weve been the hunters. Now

were the hunted.


But the burden of a top-10
mantle rests easy on the Tar
Heels shoulders. Despite
losing defensive anchor Ece
Taner, UNC boasts three
Preseason All-ACC selections McPherson, senior
Paige Neuenfeldt and redshirt
junior Taylor Treacy.

with the team, head
to dailytarheel.com.

It means a lot, but it also


means nothing at the same
time, she said. It just put
more pressure on those people to perform.
Luckily, I like performing
under pressure.
Sagula told his All-ACC
trio theyll have to meet
and exceed their previous
levels of excellence for the
team to succeed.
And like her teammate,
McPherson embraces the
pressure.
We are a target right
now, McPherson said.
Because we did so well, people are coming for us. Some
teams might crumble under
that pressure, but knowing
that we are on that target
board makes us want to work
even harder.
McPherson acknowledged
that Taners departure was
on UNCs mind early. But the
strong play of senior Heather
Gearhart and junior Sheila
Doyle and the addition of
freshman Casey Jacobs
eased any concern.
Weve always been known
as a team thats played pretty
solid defense, and theyre
going to do the job, said

Sagula of his teams three


liberos. I dont feel like weve
dropped much at this point.
His peers agree the No.
7 ranking matches where
North Carolina placed a season ago, one game short of a
Final Four berth.
This season, the Tar Heels
are determined to take it one

step further.
Anytime you have rankings, it brings responsibility,
Sagula said. Right now its
more important not where we
start but where we finish.
Ultimately we want to
make it to Omaha.

By Benji Schwartz
Assistant State & National Editor

While school was out over


the summer, Congress was
in, and N.C. politicians didnt
disappoint. Reps. David Price,
D-N.C., and Mark Meadows,
R-N.C., and Sen. Thom Tillis,
R-N.C., all made their way
into the news.
Prices leadership role in
whipping for the Iran deal
in Congress pushed him into
headlines. Price, along with
Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas,
has been preparing for the
Houses battle over the deal
since January 2014.
Thomas Carsey, a political
science professor at UNC,
said its understandable for a
Democrat in a safely demo-

cratic district to take a strong


position on the issue.
It makes sense that there
are Democrats that are unlikely to lose a seat over this issue
taking point, he said.
Meadows offered a motion
to vacate House Speaker John
Boehner, R-Ohio. But the
motion was sent to the Rules
Committee, which is currently
packed with Boehner allies.
Meadows then filed a discharge petition, which, if a
majority of representatives
sign, will force Boehner to
vacate his position.
Carsey said Meadows might
have sought to oust Boehner to
prove to his district that he was
still in line with their views.
A member of Congress like
that may be more concerned

with a primary challenge


from his ideological right
than a general election challenge from his ideological
left, he said.
Sen. Thom Tillis found
his way into a large number
of stories by offering a small
quote about a pressing issue
in the Senate.
Carsey said the additional
attention is due to Tillis
efforts.
New senators are looking for ways to begin to find
a voice in the institution,
Carsey said. Its typically on
more secondary issues not
likely to see a freshman taking the lead on a major issue.
And on why the press is
paying so much attention to
the junior senator from North

Carolina, Carsey said it wasnt


anything out of the ordinary.
When U.S. Senators
speak, the press listens.
