Professor Mark Sobsey holds his invention that he hopes will make testing water quality easier and less expensive in developing countries.
water crusader
Professor devises water purity test
By KELSEY FINN
STAFF Writer
Unsafe water kills more people
than all forms of violence, includ-
ing war, according to a United
Nations report released in March.
Mark Sobsey believes he can
change that.
A 66-year-old professor of envi-
ronmental studies and engineer-
ing at UNC, Sobsey, who has been
working in water research for more
than 40 years, has devised a new
water purity test that has gained
global attention and could have
a dramatic impact in developing
countries if marketed.
“Right now, people don’t know
if the water they’re drinking is safe
to drink or not,” Sobsey said. “I
think that if you can make water-
quality testing accessible, then
people can be informed and take
appropriate action.”
In developing countries, espe-
cially rural areas, the capacity
to test water often doesn’t exist,
Sobsey said.
“So that means that we have to
think about how to simplify the
format of the tests so they can be
portable, self-contained and func-

Duke’s Last Day of Classes cel-
ebration is now limited to Duke
students and affiliates only.
LDOC is a celebration of the end
of the academic year at which stu-
dents can drink and listen to big-
name performers outdoors. Past
performers include Kanye West in
2005 and Third Eye Blind in 2008.

tion independently,” he said.
His innovation, which he said
could likely be produced in Japan
for less than 25 cents each, would
allow people to quickly and easily
find out the concentration of bac-
teria in their water supplies.
Knowing the concentration is
important because if the water has
a low enough bacteria concentra-
tion, it is probably still drinkable.
But if the concentration is high, it
could pose major health hazards.
Launching the project
Because of his innovative work,
Sobsey was chosen to participate
in LAUNCH, a program that
supports innovations addressing
international challenges. The ini-
tiative was created by NASA, Nike,
the U.S. Department of State and
the U.S. Agency for International
Development.
Ten of 150 submissions were
chosen and presented in March
at the Kennedy Space Center in
Florida. Sobsey demonstrated his
innovation to a council and had
the opportunity to listen to their
suggestions.
Kids Table are performing.
Duke’s more exclusive celebration
this year is an attempt to regulate
the crowds better and work with a
tighter budget than in the past, said
LDOC co-chairwoman Liz Turner.
“It’s gotten a little out of hand
and the best way to handle this
is to restrict it to Duke affiliates,”
Turner said. “They’re the ones who
are paying for it in the end.”

more than $10,000 of property dam-
age and more than 30 EMS calls,

Distributions could

By Kevin Kiley

Students could see grade distri-

two years if the Faculty Council
approves a policy proposal at its
April 23 meeting.
The distributions would be part

across departments and instruc-
tors, and an inability to distinguish

State revenue still better than last year “The big picture is,
By jeanna smialek
Staff Writer
Today is tax day — traditionally
a stressful time for legislators and
citizens.
But this year’s state revenue
shortfall, predicted to be around
$790 million, gives N.C. legislators
less to worry about than last year,
when the deficit was $4.7 billion,
said N.C. Rep. Hugh Holliman,
D-Davidson.
Barry Boardman, chief econo-
mist for N.C. Fiscal Research
Division, said last year’s fore-
casted shortfall was $3.2 billion.
This means that the actual short-
fall could be much higher than
the $790 million that is currently
being predicted.
“The big picture is, we’re wait-
ing to see what the April surprise
portends,” said N.C. Rep. Jennifer
Weiss, D-Wake.
Weiss said deep budget cuts
and temporary taxes imposed by
the N.C. General Assembly helped
lower the deficit predictions for this
year and federal stimulus funds
also helped the state stay afloat.
“Last year everything just fell off
totally. We just had to cut back,”
Holliman said.
Although the situation is not as
bad this year, Holliman said that
further cuts across the board are
likely to balance the budget.
Holliman also said that nearly
60 percent of the state’s budget
goes to education.
“We’re trying to make sure that
it doesn’t impact the classroom,”
he said.
Weiss said the slow economic
recovery has perpetuated the short-
fall. The state is receiving lower-
than-expected tax revenues.
Sales and personal income taxes
represent much of the state’s rev-
enue and have fallen steeply during
the recession, Boardman said.
Weiss said most states are strug-
gling with the financial crisis, but
North Carolina is faring better

than other states.
The temporary increase in sales
taxes and federal stimulus funds
will extend through the next fiscal
year and will help to reduce this
year’s shortfall. But after this year,
those funds will be gone.
“We are just trying to get through
these very tough economic times,”
Weiss said.
She said other economic solu-
tions are in the works. The N.C.
House and Senate finance com-
mittees have been meeting in the
interim to discuss possible tax
reforms.

ering the rate and have examined
how income and business taxes
currently work.
Holliman said legislators are
also looking into ways to lower
rates on tax services.
But Weiss said no specific pro-
posals have been created and she
doesn’t expect a reform this year.
“I don’t get the sense that there is
any appetite to do major tax reform
in the short session,” Weiss said. dth/Katherine Vance

Recycling program boosts oyster beds off coast
By Elizabeth Morrow
staff Writer
A typical week for Orange County recy-
cling includes paper, plastic, glass — and
now oyster shells.
Since February, Orange County has been
using discarded oyster shells from local res-
taurants to regenerate oyster beds along
North Carolina’s coastline.
An N.C. law, effective Oct. 1, 2009, pro-
hibits dumping oyster shells into landfills.
To encourage compliance with the state law,
Orange County Landfill began receiving oyster
shells to be recycled in February.
Those who donate oyster shells can be eli-
gible for a tax credit of $1 per bushel, which
equals about 55 pounds or eight gallons of
shells.
The landfill is working with state fisher-
ies to ensure that the discarded oyster shells
reach their destination — the brackish water
along the North Carolina coast that is popu-
lated with oyster beds.
“We call the state fisheries, and they call
a truck and they haul it to the coast where
it is utilized to encourage additional oys-
ter growth,” said Gayle Wilson, director of
Orange County Solid Waste Management.
Shell recycling promotes oyster population
growth because oyster larvae attach to the hard
shells, said Lexia Weaver, a coastal scientist
with the N.C. Coastal Federation, a nonprofit

The land off the coast of North
Carolina potentially has trillions
of cubic feet of natural gas and
billions of barrels of oil resources
that could be exploited in the com-
ing years.
Pr e s i d e n t B a ra c k O b a m a
announced at the end of last month
that he is lifting the moratorium on
offshore drilling along the east coast,
and North Carolina has larger off-
shore acreage of all of those states.
But no one knows exactly how
much oil and gas might be pres-
ent or how offshore drilling will
take shape along the state’s coast,
said Jeff Warren, a coastal hazards
specialist from the N.C. Division of
Coastal Management.
A 2009 report by the Southeast
Energy Efficiency Alliance esti-
mated that North Carolina’s outer
continental shelf contained 1.74
billion barrels of oil and 15.29 tril-
lion cubic feet of natural gas.
“It’s going to take a while for
North Carolina to be comfortable
with exploration,” said Lincoln
Pratson, an environment and ener-
gy professor at Duke University.
Currently, offshore drilling
is regulated by the federal gov-
ernment through the Minerals
Management Service in the U.S.
Department of the Interior.
The agency leases rights to drill
according to provisions in its five-
year plans. Since the current plan
expires in 2012, none of the state’s
offshore acreage could be leased
until then.
But some environmental groups
are less than thrilled at the idea of
drilling off the state’s coast.
Molly Diggins, director of the
N.C. Sierra Club, said the best areas
for drilling are also prime areas for
fisheries and offshore wind power.
“Going forward, North Carolina
might need to make a choice,”
Diggins said.
Pratson said just the search for
oil and natural gas would also have
an environmental impact.
Sonar used in the search for
resources could disturb marine
mammals, and drilling could result
in spills, he said.
But he said drilling would be so
far offshore that spills would likely
not reach the beach. Also, fish tend
to thrive around oil and natural gas
drilling structures.
“The oil and gas industry is
familiar with operating in these
areas and has a pretty good safety
record,” he said.
Connie Nelson, communications
and public relations director for
the Wilmington/Cape Fear Coast
Convention and Visitors Bureau,
said her organization would need
more information before they
would know how drilling might
affect North Carolina coastal areas
and tourism.

Pratson also said the estimated
amount of oil and natural gas off
the Atlantic seaboard is equivalent
to the amount used by the country
in about 12 to 18 months.
“This is not going to make us
energy-independent,” he said

Three years ago, UNC launched
a similar trial program with Tablet

duced to allow students and facul-
ty to use Tablet PCs to assess their
usefulness in an academic setting,
said Charles Green, assistant vice
chancellor for ITS teaching and
learning at UNC.
The positive results of the
study led to Carolina Computing
Initiative adding the Tablet PC to
the roster of available purchases,
Green said.
But UNC is not considering add-

Green said.

Slow start can’t deter UNC Tar Heels grind out

Big second half
gets Heels a win
BY Kelly Parsons
Staff Writer
In typical North Carolina fash-
ion, the Tar Heels won the open-
ing draw of their Wednesday night
matchup against No. 4 Duke, and
leading scorer Corey Donohoe
broke away for the goal.
In eight of UNC’s 12 previous
games, the Tar Heels have scored
in the first three minutes of play.
But not this time.
Donohoe had an open path to
the goal on the first possession of
the game but suddenly dropped the
ball before taking the shot.
Despite playing a sloppy first
half, the No. 2 Tar Heels cleaned
up their act in the second period,
beating their ACC rival 9-6.
“I think we had some opportuni-
ties that we either didn’t capitalize
on or we were a little impatient,”
UNC coach Jenny Levy said. “We
didn’t touch the ball that much.
That affected our rhythm.”
Duke led 2-0 before the North
Carolina got on the board. With
5:31 left in the first half, attacker
Becky Lynch scored the first goal
for UNC unassisted. The almost
25 minutes of waiting for a score
was the longest for the Tar Heels
all season.
“During the first games of the
season we had a little trouble get-
ting into the games,” Lynch said.
“We’ve been in the situation before,
so we knew that as long as we got
into our rhythm, it would stay
there.”
But the rhythm wouldn’t come
until the second half. Before
Wednesday’s game, the Tar Heels
averaged 17 shots in the first half.
Against Duke, they had only five.
The Blue Devils were on attack
for most of the first half, keeping
the Tar Heel defense on their toes.
But UNC goalie Logan Ripley
wasn’t fazed.
“Our defense was holding them
to weak shots. They weren’t getting

The Tar Heels (12-1, 4-1 ACC)

have gone much worse for North
Carolina pitcher Jimmy Messer.
The sophomore right-hander
allowed four runs in 2/3 of an

defeat of the season, 12-4.
“It’s certainly deflating when

and you know you’ve got an uphill
battle the rest of the game,” UNC
coach Mike Fox said.
Messer threw just 21 pitches on
the evening and walked the first
two Chanticleers he faced. After
recording the first out on a sacri-

a ground ball single up the middle
and two more on a mammoth blast

For Ed Davis,
picking the draft
an easy decision
O
n Monday morning, the
North Carolina athletic
department made official
what was decided shortly after a
broken left wrist ended his season
in mid-February — that Ed Davis
will enter the 2010 NBA draft.
Despite his undeniable talent,
the only bona fide star from this
year’s disappointing 20-17 team
will not leave among the ranks
of the program’s immortals due
to his short stay in Chapel Hill.
But there is no denying that his
removal from the paint only adds
to an issue that exposed the Tar
Heels’ mortality last season.
Before the injury, the 6-foot-
10 Richmond, Va. native led the
ACC in field goal percentage and
blocked shots, was second in
rebounding, and was 15th in scor-
ing — well on his way to a first-
team all-conference selection.
But as seemed to be the case
for North Carolina all season,
reality rudely made its pres-
ence felt, this time leaving the
Tar Heels without their second-
ranked scorer, top rebounder and
top shot blocker.
Seeing Davis leave is salt on an
open wound for UNC and its fans,
whose forgettable season came
to an end in the final four of the
NIT, while the Duke Blue Devils
sauntered to their fourth NCAA
Tournament title.
And though the Tar Heels enter
the 2010-11 season with a trio of
recruits who rank among the best
in the nation, the coaches and
fan base alike are well aware that
McDonald’s All-Americans won’t
necessarily super-size the win
column.
Still, the time was right for
Davis.
Despite critics who argue he
would be best served by another
year in college, Davis still ranks in
the upper echelon of most expert
draft boards. And with the steady
current of uber-hyped high school
5

at the buzzer
seniors constantly being thrust
into the conversation of the No. 1
pick, he doesn’t stand to gain any-
thing substantial by signing on for
another year in the NCAA.
Comfortably projected as a
lottery pick, and with the finan-
cial differences between the top
pick and mid-lottery out of play,
making a case for Davis to return
to campus is all but impossible
— unlike when fellow Tar Heel
Brandan Wright made the jump
in 2007.
Davis’ skill set is far superior
to Wright’s. Though Wright was
a terror on the defensive end of
the floor, he had the benefit of the
often double-, even triple-teamed
Tyler Hansbrough to ease the load
offensively, inflating his produc-
tion. And unlike Wright, who
never had the chance, Davis was
able to prove himself outside of
Hansbrough’s shadow.
Davis is even superior defen-
sively. He’s a better rebounder
and has blocked nearly as many
shots (64) in 23 games this season
as Wright (65) did in 37 games
before leaving for the NBA.
In Wright’s defense, his deci-
sion had much more to do with
helping his family.
And for that reason, he left
with Roy Williams’ blessing.
Given the uncertainty of UNC’s
foreseeable future and the fact
that Davis is a lock for the lottery,
the decision was an easy one — at
least for one Tar Heel.

TO BE THE BOSS

1. 2. STARK DISC IS THE

BEST FOR TRIBUTE
By Jordan Lawrence
Diversions Editor
It’s fitting that members of Red
Collar, Midtown Dickens and other
local bands would choose to trib-
ute Nebraska. There is no record
in all of Bruce Springsteen’s illus-
trious catalog so ready-made for
homage.
The 10 haunting folk treat-
ments on this 1982 essential are
nothing but the raw essence of
The Boss.
It precedes the synth-propelled
new wave of his 1984 Born in the
takes got the point across best.
They were right.
You don’t need anything more
than Springsteen’s tortured wail to
make the plight of wronged pris-
oner “Johnny 99” rip you apart.
A fuller arrangement would cover
up the guilt-ridden menace of “State
Trooper”’s criminal narrative.
But there’s always the “What
if ?” And that’s why crafting your
own version of these songs is irre-
sistible. Can you do a better job
of tempting your lady to go on a
last-ditch trip to “Atlantic City”?

USA. It catches him after he’s out-
grown the youthful pop impulse to
be “Born to Run.”
Nebraska takes Springsteen’s
bleeding heart populism to its
grimmest extremes. His howls
echo in the lo-fi background of
guitar-and-harmonica tales of the
woe-stricken.
Once again he’s riding through
the heartland of America, but this
time he can’t find the pulse.
Slated to record the follow-up to
the double-album excess of 1980’s
The River, Springsteen assembled
his songs into 10 home-recorded
demos.
The whole E Street Band was
called in to record, but both
Springsteen and his producers
thought the rough, emotional first-
Can you care for a brother more
than Springsteen’s “Highway
Patrolman” does?
Taking on these bare-bones
tunes will give these local heroes
the chance to tackle Springsteen’s
epic persona head on.
Nobody can be Bruce
Springsteen, but you can sure as
hell turn the wondrous blueprints
of the now-famous demos into
something worth while.
Nebraska gives any brave art-
ist the chance to create his or her
own idea of what it is to be Bruce.
And it’s going to be quite a thrill to
see what kind of Bosses these local
heroes turn out to be.

LOCAL ARTISTS TEAM UP TO

PLAY SPRINGSTEEN CLASSIC
By Joseph Chapman
Staff Writer
Many fans see Bruce Springsteen’s
Nebraska as a departure from his usual
style. With its lo-fi aesthetic and jarring
imagery, the album is an outlier in the musi-
cian’s iconic discography.
But for Chapel Hill’s Robert Koegler, the
record’s honesty is so inspiring that it drove
him to recreate it live.
“He released Nebraska at the height of
his popularity,” said Koegler, drummer for
Chapel Hill’s My Dad is Dead. “I thought
that it was a really interesting choice to make
artistically — it’s recorded on these 4-track
tapes and explores a lot of dark themes.”
The opening title track follows the story of
Charles Starkweather, a 19-year-old that went
on an 11-man killing spree across Nebraska
and Wyoming. Springsteen narrates a fiction-
al account of what might have gone through
the murderer’s troubled mind.
It’s the antithesis of studio perfectionism.
Missed notes and lyrics mix with macabre
imagery for an unavoidably spooky song that
begins an undeniably haunting album.
The idea of recreating the album live
came to fruition after Koegler saw Durham’s
Red Collar perform. Their loud, sweat-driv-
en rock has earned the band several com-
parisons to Springsteen.
“I had the idea to do the album live and I
didn’t really know how make it happen until
I heard Red Collar, Jason Kutchma’s band,”
Koegler said. “If anybody can do it, it’s him.”
And he certainly can. Kutchma’s bari-
tone embodies a distinctly Sprinsteen-esque
sound. It’s loud, it’s dirty and most impor-
tantly, it’s proud.
The result of the collaboration is “Deliver
Me From Nowhere,” a live show where
Triangle musicians will bring The Boss’s
album to life.
“We wanted a country flavor,” Koegler
said. “The record is very much an American
record, so we wanted things to sound kind
of folk. We’ve brought in a pedal steel player,
an upright bass, a mandolin player and a
fiddle player.”
The show will take place on April 16 at
the N.C. School of Science and Math’s ETC
Auditorium in Durham. The event begins
with a screening of Terrence Malick’s film
“Badlands,” which chronicles the murders
from the perspective of a victim. The free
film starts at 7:30 p.m., and the following
concert is $10.
As the organizer for the event, Koegler
said he knew he wanted it to benefit some
form of charity.
“I’ve been volunteering with the Coalition
to Unchain Dogs for a while now and I
thought they’d be a great fit,” he said.
The Coalition to Unchain Dogs is a non-
profit organization as straightforward as its
name.
“Our main goal is to provide free fences
for families and people that chain their dogs
continually,” said Amanda Arrington, execu-
tive director of the coalition, which provides
vaccinations, spaying and neutering in addi-
tion to fence installation.
The coalition currently has eight chapters
across three states with hundreds of volun-
teers. The organization exists not only to
provide help to dogs in need but also to help
dog owners comply with recent legislation.
When Koegler explained his interest in
donating the proceeds from “Deliver Me
From Nowhere,” Jason Kutchma saw an
opportunity to reach out to a friend.
“My friend Niko Harlan has had a brain
tumor for the past eight years,” he said.
“He’s been struggling with it. He can’t work
because of the seizures. He had to fly out
for a hugely expensive therapy treatment at
UCLA. It’s any bit I can do to help.”
Kutchma and Koegler agreed that half
of the proceeds from “Deliver Me From
Nowhere” would go to the Southern Coalition
for Social Justice, the organization sponsor-
ing Harlan’s treatment.
But according to Kutchma, “Deliver Me
From Nowhere” serves as a charity for both
its listeners and beneficiaries.
“Rock and roll has always had this ability
to make you feel great,” he said. “To let you
escape. To dream.”
Springsteen claims that rock can deliver
you from nowhere, and that’s precisely what
Koegler and Kutchma plan to do Friday
night.

main elements of the narrative is
that I had just moved out of my
home state of New Jersey, which
has certain dismal things about
it that I didn’t like. That when I
was younger, I didn’t want to be
responsible for.
But I found that when I moved,
that didn’t make me immediately
a lot happier. So the enemy being
everywhere is about just saying
that people are the same wherever
you go, and we need to make the
changes that we want to see inside
ourselves rather than outside.
But it’s also trying to remind
the people that being politically
engaged and socially responsible
doesn’t necessarily mean saying,
“f--k the president,” or whatever.
Even if there’s bad guys up at the
top of our ladders, there’s plenty
of bad people down on the bottom
with us. And maybe we should
spend a little less time pissing and
moaning about our elected officials
and a little more time going after
the f--king assholes that exist in
our own communities.

Dive: How does that idea of
knowing that there are bad people
in your community tie into the Civil
War references?
PS: That was pretty much that
concept manifesting itself to its
logical conclusion. That period had
all these brothers killing brothers
and stuff. Maybe that’s kind of an
intersection of those two concepts.
On the one hand the Union govern-
ment was waging war against the
Confederate one. More practically
speaking it was the Americans kill-
ing Americans. Those kind of divi-
sions and partisan things still exist
in our society now, albeit in more
sneaky ways. But back then that
was kind of that concept lived large
and played out on a big stage.

Allen Mask juggles art,
finance and academics
By seth leonard
Staff Writer
Poetry, hip-hop and … financial
management?
It’s not every day that these
words are in the same sentence. But
it might be just as rare that a com-
bination of charisma and commit-
ment manifests itself in somebody
as capable as Allen Mask.
Tall and clean-cut, Mask is as
easily at home in a three-piece suit
as he is wearing a pair of Nikes and
hi-fi headphones.
Growing up in Chapel Hill let
him tap into his creative side.
“I’ve been doing music for a long
time now,” Mask said. “My original
interest in music, theater and the
arts really took off in high school.”
Mask was involved in a junior
film circuit early on and through
high school had agents in both New
York City and Chapel Hill. Later he
realized his talent for speaking.
“I’ve always had a knack for
words,” he said. “I sort of became a
poet. I was asked to join a 19-and-
under team for the National Poetry
Slam.”
As a freshman at UNC, Mask
didn’t lose his passion. He minored
in music and jazz composition.
He built notoriety playing the
local scene with the group Jazz
Collective.
While studying music at the
University of California, Berkeley,
during the summer, he got the idea
to start a record label for UNC stu-
dents. Upon his return to school, he
started Vinyl Records with fellow
student Tripp Gobble.
Mask moved on to develop
Thinkopation, LLC, and subse-
quently earned a position with
financial institution Goldman
Sachs.
“I’m heading to New York to
work with Goldman Sachs in their
consumer retail investment bank-
ing practice,” he said.
Working last summer for
Goldman Sachs gave Mask an
opportunity. He vowed to spend all
the money he earned to return to

When rappers aren’t cleverly or

or rhyming about bling, money,

their songs?
Franklin Street is the extent of
Allen Mask’s exposure to the con-
crete jungles that hip-hop came
from, a rather domesticated area
that lends to the innocent nature
of his hip-hop. Mask, a senior at
UNC, has created a distinct blend
with Pilot Season that stirs up pol-
ished mixes of rap, jazz, rock and
R&B.
Mask spits about his aspirations,
family, love and a “second-story
diva.” They’re attention-seizing
subjects until their chronic facades
dwindle the album’s allure.
But Mask puts a plethora of
unusual instruments behind
his rhymes. Violins add class.
Saxophones jazz it up. Pianos root a

The many facets of an ‘Electric State’
Free Electric State, based in Durham, plays an eclectic mix of shoegaze, heavy rock and other genres. The
band will host the release party for its debut full-length album, Caress, at The Pinhook Friday night.
‘Caress’ swirls, writhes and rocks
BY ANNA NORRIS
STAFF WRITER
From the crash of drums and
furious guitar that open “Matching
Scars,” Free Electric State lays forth
a manifesto of tough rock anthems
with textured melodies and pound-
ing rhythms that drive you through
without any filler.
What makes Caress, the Durham
band’s debut LP, so successful is the
band’s nuanced ability to change cer-
tain elements of their sound while
maintaining a cohesive theme.
Free Electric State flirts with
shoegaze in the album’s first half,
churning out songs densely packed
with reverb and dueling guitars. It’s

For Free Electric State guitar-

Krautrock.
Williams was tending bar at The
Pinhook in Durham, and Koslowski
was in between bands and working
on visual art.
But when Williams put on Can’s
Tago Mago over the bar speakers
one night back in 2009, the two
just clicked.
“That’s just how we bonded
musically. It’s amazing how people’s
tastes can lead to friendships and
creative collaborations,” Williams
said.
Koslowski simply remembers
being glad to have a friend with
whom he could share his uncon-
ventional music tastes.
“I wanted to have another gui-
tar player to play with again,”
Koslowski said.
The band has come a long way
since then and will celebrate the
release of its debut LP, Caress, on
Friday with a show at The Pinhook.
“We’re really excited about it.

tax is Exhibit A
WASHINGTON (MCT) —
Riders of the New York City sub-
way got an eyeful — and probably a
little indigestion — when they saw
billboard ads last fall that showed a
sugary drink being poured out of a
soda bottles that turned into globs
of human fat. “Are you pouring on
the pounds?” the headline asked.
“Don’t drink yourself fat.”
The ad was paid for by the New
York City Health Department,
but it spoke to an issue that New
York Gov. David Paterson has been
pushing for two years.
Paterson wants Albany to
approve a penny-per-ounce tax on
sugary drinks, above and beyond
the state’s normal 4 percent sales
tax rate.
The new tax would pour $1
billion into state coffers at a time
when New York’s battered budget
could use the revenue.
But just as important, Paterson
argues, the tax would discourage
people from drinking the sodas,
juices and energy drinks that many
experts believe contribute to health
problems associated with being
overweight.
Paterson’s soda-tax plan is run-
ning into fierce opposition, how-
ever. Anti-tax activists call it a
money grab by a government that
they see as the one with the weight
problem. Libertarians argue that
Paterson’s reasoning is akin to Big
Brother trying to dictate what they
can drink. And the soda industry
argues the proposed tax unfairly
targets just one of the many foods
or drinks that, if consumed in
excess, can make people fat.
“We understand that govern-
ments are facing tough budget
challenges,” argues Susan K. Neely,
president and CEO of the American
Beverage Association. “But singling
out one item for taxation com-
pletely misses the mark in having
an effect on the national challenge
of obesity.”
The soda tax idea got a jolt
last month when New York City
Mayor Michael Bloomberg pub-
Freshman Jake Ritter refills his soda at Alpine Bagel Cafe on Wednesday
night. Ritter said he would be upset if there was a tax on sugary drinks.
licly endorsed it. Although the
tax still faces a tough fight in the
Legislature, Paterson is not giving
up. “Someone has got to contrib-
ute to the $7.6 billion the state
spends every year to treat diseases
from obesity,” he told reporters last
month.
If you buy M&Ms or a Snickers
bar in most states that tax candy,
you’ll have to pay a tax, but Twix
bars and licorice are tax free.
Defining what is “candy” and
is thus taxable makes the already
inexplicable tax code even more
perplexing for consumers and store
owners responsible for collecting
the tax.
Many states use the definition of
candy developed by a nationwide
group that is trying to stream-
line sales taxes and make it more
uniform. A key factor in deciding
if something is “candy” is if it has
dth/Mary Lide Parker
flour. If it does, like a Twix bar, it is
food, not candy.
Paterson’s push on soda taxes
is part of a broadening movement
among states to treat unhealthy
foods in much the same manner as
tobacco and liquor — as vices to be
discouraged through the tax code.
Another big area of activ-
ity revolves around candy. Illinois
recently joined Florida and New
Jersey on the list of states that have
extended their sales taxes to cover
Hershey’s bars, Snickers bars and
other candy.
In Colorado, the state’s 2.9 per-
cent sales tax will begin to apply to
candy and soda sold from machines
beginning next month.
And the Democratic governors
of Massachusetts and Washington
state both have proposed extend-
ing their states’ sales taxes to both
candy and sugary drinks.
grams and the lure of refunds,
the IRS expects thousands of

The reason: Americans find

more bearable than attending a

The survey, by Allianz Life
Insurance Company, found that
even though the majority of those
asked expected to get a refund,
they’d just as soon not bother with

The IRS estimated that about

Jobless continue

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT)
— Wednesday marked the 10th
day that hundreds of thousands
of jobless people couldn’t get
benefit checks because of con-
gressional gridlock — an impasse
rooted in politics, and perhaps
one with political consequences
in November.
Democrats say that the legis-
lation — which also would fund
temporary increases in Medicare
payments to doctors — is a
response to true emergencies.
Republicans agree, but insist
that the cost should be offset by
cutting federal spending else-
where.
Polls show the public is grow-

“Even after we make this reform,
we’re not done,” said sociology pro-
fessor Andrew Perrin, who leads
the committee. “We expect to need
further reforms on the issue.”
The proposal is driven by a 2009
report that found that the most
common grade given out at UNC
is an A and that average GPAs have
been increasing steadily over the
last four decades.
UNC has had to raise the require-
ments for recognitions such as the
Dean’s List as a result of the trend.
Because the increases have hap-
pened at different rates in different
departments, significant discrepan-
cies exist in the number of students
from each department who receive
such honors. Some faculty members
say it is unfair to compare students
across departments.
But some students and faculty
members say the proposal fails
to get at the heart of the issue —
significant differences in grading
methods across departments and
instructors that have developed in
a culture where grading methods
are rarely discussed.
Students and faculty members
also worried that reporting such
information on transcripts could
harm students applying for jobs
and graduate schools.
Some members of the commit-
tee acknowledge that the proposed
policy change might not have a
significant effect on the way some
professors grade.
“The only way I’m going to
change my grading is if somebody
tells me to,” said committee mem-
ber Susan Klebanow, a music pro-
fessor who said most students get
A’s in her restricted-enrollment
class. “It’s going to be embarrassing
in the context of these discussions,
but I’m going to keep doing it.”
Different grading strategies
Klebanow’s reasoning is shared
by many faculty members. They
have methods of evaluation that
work with their teaching styles.
Changing one could force them to
change the other.
Faculty members develop grad-
ing methods in graduate school
and once they start teaching. They
take note on how students perform
on tests and adjust accordingly.

But they rarely discuss their
strategies with one another, and
there is no formal training when
new professors come to UNC about
how to grade.
History professor William
Barney said he has had only a few
discussions about grading methods
with his colleagues in the 38 years
he has been teaching.
Because faculty rarely discuss
grading criteria, they develop dif-
ferent grade distributions.
While the chairmen of the
English and chemistry depart-
ments don’t agree on the best way
to grade, both said they would not
want to evaluate students’ work in
the other department.
“I recognize that all the profes-
sors here have terrific expertise,
but I would never presume to tell
anybody in another discipline how
he or she should be grading,” said
Beverly Taylor, chairwoman of the
English department.
Faculty members also disagree
about whether students are bet-
ter than in the past, which could
account for higher average grades.
The looming vote
Adopting the policy would put
UNC in a small group of schools
that has addressed grading issues.
Indiana and Cornell universities
already report contextual infor-
mation on transcripts. Princeton
University has set an average GPA
that departments may not exceed,
a strategy the UNC faculty said it
would not pursue.
Because there are differences
across departments and because
grading is tied to academic free-
dom, votes on grading policies tend
to bring out emotions.
The last proposal to change grad-
ing policies at UNC, presented in
2007, sharply divided campus. The
proposal, known as the Achievement
Index, was a statistical calculation
that measured student performance
against their peers’ performance in
other classes. The proposal failed by
one vote in the Faculty Council with
strong objections from then-Stu-
dent Body President Eve Carson.
Perrin said he doesn’t see that
situation arising with this propos-
al because the committee chose a
policy that was likely to pass.

tinues to collaborate with Sobsey
and the Gillings School of Global
Public Health.
She said one of the most signifi-
cant advantages of Sobsey’s test
is that it will allow people to help
themselves.
“You can potentially empower
people to make decisions about
their water through showing them
changes,” she said. “Providing them
with this test lets them see, ‘Wow,
I’ve changed the quality of my
water by passing it through a filter
or adding chlorine to it.’”
Finding his calling
The knowledge behind Sobsey’s
innovation comes from more than
four decades of work with water.
He said he originally wanted to
go to medical school.
“I lived and worked on a chicken
farm for 11 years, so I had this coun-
try farm boy early-life experience,
and I got to college thinking about
veterinary medicine,” he said.
“But I came from a very mod-
est background financially, so I got
partly through undergrad and real-
ized, ‘I don’t have a good enough
academic record. I probably won’t
get a scholarship to go to medical
school.’”
So Sobsey fell back on an inter-
est in limnology, the science of
natural waters, and applied to the

are near Mebane, Hillsborough and
the Durham County-Orange County
border — places where broadband
access is not always reliable.
This makes the area less attrac-
tive to businesses who might move
to the area, which hurts job-cre-
ation efforts. The districts have
existed for a while, but develop-
ment has been slow.
“If we don’t have high-speed
Internet, we’re at a competitive
disadvantage,” said Orange County
Commissioner Barry Jacobs.
A lack of reliable access hurts job
seekers, who often look and apply for
jobs online. And small business own-
ers need good service because they
often work at home.
“The separation between your
domestic and your professional
environment is starting to close
in,” said Craig Benedict, director
of planning and inspections for
at the University of Pittsburgh.
“So I got into the school, and
when I showed up they said, ‘We’d
really like you to work on this proj-
ect related to viruses in water and
wastewater,’” he said. “So I kind of
stumbled into this work on viruses
in water.”
Sobsey hasn’t looked back.
After receiving a master’s of
science in hygiene, Sobsey got
a Ph.D. from the University of
California at Berkeley in environ-
mental health sciences.
He then worked as a postdoc-
torate student in the department
of virology and epidemiology at
Baylor College of Medicine. He
accepted a position at UNC in
1974.
With 44 years of research under
his belt, Sobsey is a water expert
with more than 200 publications
and international recognition.
He’s also been a mentor to UNC
students.
Since working with Sobsey on
water-quality testing, former UNC
graduate student Fu-Chih Hsu has
co-founded Scientific Methods
Inc., which houses the largest com-
mercial laboratory in the country
devoted exclusively to environmen-
tal microbiology.
“Dr. Sobsey’s work is quite
impressive,” Hsu said. “Over these
years, he’s really tried to devote his
time to improving water quality.”

t’s April, so don’t leave
home without an umbrella
— and another form of
protection. April is Sexually
Transmitted Disease Awareness
Month, which is particularly
important on college campuses.
Why? Because one in two
sexually active people will con-
tract an STD by the time they
are 25. And most of them won’t
know it.
The most common bacterial
STD in the United States is chla-
mydia, and the highest rates are
in young people. What are the
symptoms? In up to three-quar-
ters of women with chlamydia,
they are … nothing. About half of
infected men are asymptomatic
as well.
Chlamydia is a bacterial
infection, which means it can
be treated with antibiotics, so
what’s the big deal?
Well, it’s not a big deal if you
know you have it. But if you are
part of the majority that doesn’t
show any symptoms, you can be
infected for years before realizing
you’ve contracted it.
Having chlamydia or any STD
increases your vulnerability of
getting another STD, including
HIV. Plus, in women, the bacte-
ria can spread into the uterus and
cause infertility.
So what are you going to do
about it? Abstinence is the only
100 percent effective way to pre-
vent STDs, but if you are going
to have sex, then you should
know that latex, polyurethane or
polisoprene condoms and dental
dams are highly effective against
chlamydia.
Even if you use protection
every time it’s still important to
get tested every year or after end-
ing a sexual relationship.
Chlamydia testing isn’t scary
or uncomfortable. Anyone can
just pee in a cup, or women
can get a swab during their pap
smears.
These tests also can screen
for gonorrhea with the same
sample, which happens to be
the second most common bacte-
rial STD.
It’s also important to talk to
your partner. While it may be
hard to bring up, talking about
STDs is a part of a healthy sexual
relationship.
A new study in the United
Kingdom found that 70 percent
of young people said discussing
STD testing with a partner was
the most important sign that a
relationship would last, ranking
it even higher than meeting the
parents.
How do you start that conver-
sation? Do it before you get hot
and heavy. Tell them about an
interesting STD fact you heard,
mention that you were thinking of
getting tested and were wonder-
ing if they had ever done it before,
or show them this article. You can
even suggest doing it together.
There will be a free chlamydia/
gonorrhea testing event from 1
p.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday in the
Student Union, open to students
and the general public. Make it
a date!
Students can always pay
to be screened at Campus
Health Services, or anyone
can get a range of free tests at
the Alliance of AIDS Services
Carolina in Durham. To reach
the Alliance, call them at 919-
596-9898, ext 316.
The health department will
also do free chlamydia screenings
for women and free treatment for
anyone who tests positive.
Celebrate STD Awareness
Month by getting tested. It will be
the easiest test you take all year!

James Atwater, one of the men
charged with killing former

Following several attempts
by defense attorneys to move

that the high-profile nature of
the case has tainted the state-

The trial will be held as
originally planned in the

begin on May 3.
A change of venue motion is

New gallery on Franklin shows promise
I
f you’re interested in what
is happening in the local
arts scene, it might be a
good idea to check out FRANK,
the new art gallery that opened
last Friday on Franklin Street.
The gallery’s grand opening
attracted about 600 people.
The nonprofit collective prides
itself on featuring the best of
local artists, while providing
an elegant atmosphere for
patrons.
The gallery was founded
thanks to a generous no-inter-
est loan from the Chapel Hill
Downtown Partnership and
the town of Chapel Hill.
Its business model is differ-
ent from those of other conven-
tional galleries, which might
help the gallery’s chances of
securing financial stability.
Currently there are 26 mem-

Amendment rights grant him a
fair trial by an impartial jury.
However, the argument
that heavy media coverage of
Carson’s death will inhibit every
potential juror’s ability to weigh
evidence objectively is nothing
but legal gobbledygook.
Heavy media coverage usu-
ally goes hand-in-hand with
high-profile murder cases.
The media’s job is to accurate-
ly present the facts to the public,
as it has in the Carson case.
The public is free to inter-
pret non-sensationalized infor-
mation as it sees fit.
The fact that more informa-
tion has been disseminated to
the public than usual is in no
way a reason to grant a change
of venue to prevent juror bias.
All you need are enough people
to fill out the jury box.
As acknowledged by U.S.
It is no secret that Wendy’s
is a fast-food joint, and eating
there is not the healthiest of
options. Undoubtedly, there
are some who see the pres-
ence of Wendy’s as nothing
more than the encroachment
of another unhealthy, quick-
fix establishment into our
bubble.
Yes, it would be great to
have a late-night on-campus
restaurant that serves deli-
cious, highly nutritious meals
— for $0.99.
But the fact is such a uto-
pian establishment does not
exist. Most college students
are cash-strapped. The dining
halls are only open until 8:30
p.m. Beyond that, the options
are essentially limited to
Alpine Bagel Café and Franklin
ber artists associated with
FRANK, who have to pay a fee
up front in addition to month-
ly fees while committing to a
membership of at least two
years.
Member artists receive a
commission of 75 percent for
sales of their work, while the
gallery collects the other 25
percent. They also have to
come in to work at least one
day a month.
Non-member or consign-
ment artists receive 50 per-
cent commission, but have less
responsibility than members.
The gallery also will show-
case the work and spread
awareness of activities of local
musicians and writers.
It is exciting to have a new
arts venue in town, which we
hope will enhance the arts cul-

District Court Judge James
Beaty, all the evidence of
extensive media coverage
only underlines the need for
potential jurors to be well-
screened.
And, luckily for Atwater, our
judicial process allows for just
that.
In addition to an exten-
sive juror screening process,
Atwater’s attorneys also have
the right to reject jurors they
feel might taint the jury pool,
through a process known as
voir dire.
Given all of the safeguards
against biased jurors dur-
ing the selection process, it is
obvious that the coverage of
Atwater’s case poses no threat
to jury objectivism.
And thankfully, members
of our justice system have
acknowledged that.
Street.
The only difference is, for
less than the price of a bagel
with cream cheese at Alpine,
a hungry customer can get 10
chicken nuggets at Wendy’s.
The needs of students should
be paramount in any decision
like this. It is painfully obvi-
ous that UNC is lacking in
the department of after-hours
food. Wendy’s solves this prob-
lem in the best way possible:
economically.
Some students are too
health-conscious to eat at fast
food restaurants, to be sure.
But most are not. Students
care about being fed and hav-
ing some money left over to
spend on things that are not
related to survival, and this
gets the job done.
ture and community within
Chapel Hill.
If residents value the impor-
tance of a vibrant arts presence
in town, then they are encour-
aged to give the new gallery a
test run.
There are many reasons to
be optimistic about FRANK’s
long-term viability. It has
already received tremendous
support from the local business
community.
The gallery’s landlord has
been very supportive, charging
less than the standard rate for
the lease. Much of the expense
for fixtures and other needs has
been donated to the venue.
With continued support
from the community, the gal-
lery could become a highly
regarded attraction in Chapel
Hill for years to come.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Column on Cuba did not
accurately reflect situation
TO THE EDITOR:
Last week’s column by Zack
Tyman (“Cuba is evolving with
new generation,” April 8) discuss-
ing the status of the Cuban revo-
lution should be considered from
a very different perspective.
To b e g i n , I a d m i r e Mr.
Tyman’s passion and initiative
to discuss his experiences in
Cuba. However, as an officer
in the U.S. Coast Guard who
has seen the terrified faces of
Cuban migrants, I see the situ-
ation down there as far more
tragic.
Mr. Tyman’s column suggests
that the Cuban population is
generally celebratory of Castro’s
leadership and the concept of
the revolution. If that is the
case, why are Cubans placing
their families in grave danger
every single day to try to escape
the country?
The concern of dissatisfied
Cubans is not a bad job market
in Cuba or mortgage struggles;
it is the absence of fundamen-
tal human freedoms that we
often take for granted: speech,
fair trials, voting, even freedom
from cruel and unusual punish-
ment.
These freedoms drive the
capitalistic democracies Mr.
Tyman seems to demonize.
They are the freedoms that
Fidel Castro openly suggests
must be sacrificed, despite the
failures of socialism and com-
munism.
Mr. Tyman needs to know
that in a country intolerant of
dissent, often to the point of
imprisonment or worse, even
the most passionate dissenters
will not share their true opin-
ions with neighbors and friends,
let alone an American tourist or
student.
Make no mistake, Mr. Tyman
is seeing exactly what the Cuban
government hopes visitors will
see.

Approval of Wendy’s not
total setback for FLO Food
TO THE EDITOR:
I would like to comment
on the Wendy’s that is being
planned for the Carolina Union
in 2012.
We would like to thank the
Union Board of Directors,
Carolina Dining Services and
the Aramark for all of their
work on this issue and for their
strong commitment to creat-
ing a healthy and environmen-
tally sustainable food culture at
UNC.
Here at UNC, awareness has
been growing about how our
industrial food system contrib-
utes significantly to several world
problems.
Many UNC students feel that
adding a Wendy’s to the Union
is not in accordance with the
University’s commitment to the
environment, social justice, and
public health.
Most of the food on campus
is not compatible with the new
values of our generation, and
many students are encouraged
to develop bad eating habits
because fast food has such a
dominant presence on campus.
While we had hoped that the

University would gather more
information from food experts
before deciding on a food venue,
we are encouraged that their
vote requires negotiations with
Wendy’s to ensure that their res-
taurant in the Union would be
more sustainable and healthy
than a typical Wendy’s opera-
tion, and that Phase II of the
Union renovation will include
the addition of a sustainable
food establishment.

who want to know more about

Finally, we would like to thank
everyone in the UNC community
who is doing what they can to
promote a more just and sustain-
able food system.
We at UNC have good rea-
son to be proud of what we have
achieved so far, and to be opti-
mistic about future progress.

Erskine Bowles’ leadership
has been an inspiration
TO THE EDITOR:
Thank you for your excel-
lent article about UNC-system
President Erskine Bowles (“Crisis
manager,” April 13). I have been
one of his devoted admirers for
years.
I care so deeply about the
University of North Carolina,
and his leadership has been a
totally uplifting experience.
He is helpful in maintain-
ing traditions while opening
fresh viewpoints and new ways
of accomplishing goals. He lis-
tens. Erskine has the remark-
able talent for looking at one
single person, even in a crowd,
as if there were no one else in
the room.
While he was reluctant to
impose them, Erskine’s handling
of the necessary budget cuts was
exemplary. He has treated the
smaller schools with the same
attention as the larger ones. One
feels that he cares about each
campus.
President Bowles cares about
each chancellor also, and has
taken time to listen to each
one.
He has a special sense about
the importance of each member
of the Board of Governors and the
individual legislators. One feels
his matchless responsiveness.
Former UNC-system
President Bill Friday had his
wish come true when he asked
Erskine five years ago if he was
ready to take on this totally con-
suming commitment that the
presidency requires.
He not only agreed to do it,
but he followed though with
zest, thoughtfulness and deep
caring.
He is an inspiration!
