The Chapel Hill Town Council will welcome at least one new member to its ranks after all the votes are tallied but with four seats up for grabs in a competitive race, council membership could see a major shake-up. Those changes could have a big impact on Chapel Hills future, affecting everything from revenue use and development to town relations with the University. Voters will choose from a nine-candidate ballot including liberals, fiscal conservatives and two recent UNC graduates. Its significantly more competitive, and I dont think anyone really knows exactly how its going to turn out, said second-time candidate Jon DeHart. All candidates say they want to improve town revenue and growth but each has a specific vision for Chapel Hills future and approach for achieving it.

UNC, Duke pros to clash

Tar Heel and Blue Devil alumni will play in a charity event Nov. 17.
By Jonathan Jones
Senior Writer

The NBA lockout has forced a lot of professionals to get creative with how they spend their time this offseason. Some have gone overseas to play basketball while others have stayed at home to work out while biding their time until the NBA issues are resolved. For basketball alumni of Duke and North Carolina, theyre get-

ting together for what could be the biggest scrimmage in the history of the rivalry. On Nov. 17, former Blue Devils and Tar Heels will take to North Carolina Centrals McDougaldMcLendon Gym at 8:30 p.m. in the Kings of Tobacco Road game that will feature some of each teams most recent stars. Matt Moyer, head of basketball operations for Bleid Sports, one of the organizers of the event, confirmed the game will be held at NCCU, but details such as ticket prices and the charity to which proceeds will go have yet to be determined. According to BlueDevilNation .com, a blog devoted to Duke

basketball, the roster for North Carolina will include former National Player of the Year Antawn Jamison, Jerry Stackhouse, Rasheed Wallace, Brendan Haywood, Vince Carter, Raymond Felton and Shammond Williams. Dukes roster consists of Nolan Smith who first tweeted about the events potential on Sunday Kyrie Irving, Gerald Henderson, Corey Maggette, Chris Duhon and former National Player of the Year Elton Brand. Smith and former UNC star Tyler Hansbrough played with each other in October in a game that pitted University of

STV studio division draws criticism

Move to split the space comes two years after a $30,000 renovation.
By Megan Cassella
Staff Writer

$ $ $

Members of Student Television are concerned that the thousands of dollars they used to upgrade their space in

the Student Union have gone to waste. The Unions board of directors voted last week to divide the 2,100-square-foot multipurpose room that STV frequently uses between the group and the Unions marketing and design department. STV spent more than $30,000 converting the room in to a functional studio in 2009, members said.

The renovation basically cancels out all the investments that weve put into the space, said Sydney Holt, STVs station manager. STV will be left with 35 percent of the usable studio space it had before. Patrick Nichols, STVs student station engineer, said the renovations will probably require the group to purchase a new lighting grid, rewire the audio wiring

and readjust some of the studios lighting. It will probably cost even more to get the smaller space up and running again because it doesnt have the existing infrastructure that the large space had, Holt said. But director of the Carolina Union Don Luse said the changes represent a step up for STV.

A group of about 30 students mostly from student government attended Student Body President TUITION Mary Coopers forum on tuition increases Monday. Cooper will hold a forum each night this week in hopes of raising student awareness about the issue. Tonights meetings will be held at 6 p.m. in SASB Upendo Lounge and 7 p.m. in Carroll 111. how budget cuts were allocated Questions and answers to UNC-system schools was made STUDENT: Has UNC taken hard- by the Board of Governors, who had certain criteria.

ncSu alumnus leads post-Gadha Libya

The new interim prime minister received his doctorate from NCSU.
By Claire Williams
Staff Writer

Abdurrahim El-Keib is serving as the interim prime minister of Libya. He received his doctorate from N.C. State.
cal science background, but he did receive his Ph.D. in electrical engineering 25 miles down the road at N.C. State University. El-Keib, who received his doctorate in 1984, was chosen last week by the Transitional National Council the tem-

The man leading post-Gadhafi Libya a country transitioning from a war-torn state isnt a politician. And hes spent most of his life in the United States. Abdurrahim El-Keib is serving as the interim prime minister of Libya. He has no former politi-

porary governing body of Libya to serve as interim prime minister of the country. According to McClatchy news reports, the NCSU alumnus garnered 26 out of 51 votes. El-Keibs American education is welcome to Libyans, said Andrew Reynolds, chairman of global studies at UNC-CH. My impression right now is that they are very excited for exiles coming back from overseas. Ali Tarhouni, another U.S.educated Libyan, is the minister of finance and oil as well as deputy prime minister. Tarhouni

was a professor at the University of Washington-Seattle for about 30 years, Reynolds said. Any Libyan who had the opportunity for an education overseas left the country during the Gadhafi era, he said. The Libyan rebels are grateful for U.S. and NATO support, and the fact that El-Keib is U.S.educated should help legitimize his power, Reynolds said. Reynolds advised the Libyan National Transitional Council to create its interim government and constitution. John Grainger, El-Keibs for-

mer thesis adviser, wrote in an email that as a student, El-Keib was poised, soft-spoken and a devout Muslim. Grainger, a professor emeritus at NCSU, said El-Keib did not return to Libya for years after coming to the U.S. for his masters and doctorate degrees. El-Keib would visit his family in Morocco in the 1980s rather than re-enter a Libya ruled by Gadhafi. The electrical and computer engineering department at NCSU is excited about El-Keibs new position, said Daniel Stancil, head of the department.

The people who know El-Keib think very highly of him, he said. El-Keibs has a history in electrical engineering education, teaching at several universities including the University of Tripoli, the University of Alabama and NCSU. El-Keib has also served as chairman of the Department of Electrical Engineering at the Petroleum Institute in the United Arab Emirates, according to its website.

Ligo Dojo works with referred students to build character

Summer Ventures loses funds

The program for high schoolers will likely accept half as many students.
By Gayatri Surendranathan
Staff Writer

Nathan Ligo was 13 years old when he joined the Carolina Martial Arts Club at UNC as the clubs only child member. I was a pretty weak, unhappy kid, he said. I saw it as a way to become stronger and to fit in more. Ligo said martial arts redefined his life even taking him to Japan to train and now he wants to share that experience with students, including those with behavioral problems. In September, Ligo, now 40 years old, opened Ligo Dojo of Budo Karate in Chapel Hill, his second non-profit school. The first, Ligo Dojo of Budo Karate in Durham, is a non-profit for at-risk youth opened in 2007. Ligo received funding from the Juvenile Crime Prevention Council in Durham and the Governors Crime Commission to teach courtreferred and mental health referred kids. He opened the Chapel Hill school after receiving a grant from the Juvenile Crime Prevention Council in Orange County. There are currently 25 students at the Chapel Hill school. Ligo said he hopes the school will enable him to share his transformative martial arts experience with others. I had this sense of contentedness, which Id never had before, he said. It didnt feel right to not share that achievement. While a third of Ligo Dojo students are referred from agencies, the school also serves paying students of all ages. Ligo uses a sliding scale of payment so families pay what they can afford. He said he has been able to see a significant difference in the behavior of his young students. You see them stand up straighter. You see the light in their eyes, the confidence, Ligo said. Theres just no end to what you see in the changes of kids. Josephine Cuevas, whose four children were students at Ligo Dojo in Durham and now study at the Chapel Hill location, can attest to that change. Though her children were not referred to the school, she said studying there has changed their lives. Cuevas said she has seen the biggest difference in her 10-year-old daughter, Deserr, who is able to stand up for herself now and participate more in school. Shes made a complete turnaround in her confidence, Cuevas said. Cuevas said she even decided to take up martial arts herself after her children had such a positive experience. Sophomore Brandon Burney, Ligos first student from UNC, said he started to practice martial arts at the school because he appreciated the relaxation and discipline after a stressful day of classes. We all genuinely care about each other, he said. Nobody walks around there with an ego.

dtH/HeLeN wooLard Nathan Ligo, center, watches Donald Harris, left, and Daniel Brandyl, two of his five Monday instructors.

Were all on the same page. Junior Ian Anzola, president of the Carolina Tae Kwon Do club, said he thinks Ligo Dojo stands out among more commercial martial arts schools. The thing that interested me is the fact that its a nonprofit school, he said. A lot of schools now-adays are focused on having you earn whatever belt. But Burney said thats not what hes learned from Ligo. Naturally, I want to get to the point of being

a black belt, but I want to continue to build up my confidence and discipline, he said. You strive for those things, but its bigger than that. Ligo said he hopes other UNC students will train at the school. I grew up training with UNC students, he said. I would love for people to know were here now.

A summer program that has offered N.C. high school students an opportunity to engage in the sciences since 1985 is shrinking due to budget cuts. Summer Ventures in Science and Mathematics is a state-funded program that provides four weeks of science and math instruction to rising juniors and seniors. The students are housed at university campuses across the state and are able to work with professors on research projects, all at no cost. But state funding cuts that have been affecting several academic programs, such as Governors School, are taking their toll on Summer Ventures as well. In the past two years, both Western Carolina University and UNC-Wilmington have cut their Summer Ventures programs. Each year schools get a sum of money for programming, said Melissa Thibault, director of Summer Ventures. What they choose to do with it is up to them. In 1983, the program was given about $1 million, but that has been cut over the years, she said. Summer Ventures hosted close to 500 students at its peak, but Thibault predicted the number would be closer to 250 next summer. You would think in good conscience no one would cut this program, she said. But people are having to make some really tough decisions. The four schools still offering the program, which include N.C. Central University, will meet in January to determine how many students they can afford to host for the summer 2012 program. John Myers, director of Summer Ventures at NCCU, said the program is important to the school despite having fewer resources each year. I hope the legislature recognizes how important STEM programs are, Myers said. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math four fields that the U.S. Department of Education have described as a priority for students nationwide. Rep. Norman Sanderson, R-Craven, said he understood the significance of the program. Id like to see the companies that could potentially hire these kids donate some funds to offset the burden on the state. He said donations from the private sector were what recently enabled Governors School to keep one of its two campuses in operation next summer. But Akhil Jariwala, a sophomore who attended Summer Ventures at East Carolina University in 2008 a school that still continues to host Summer Ventures said part of the prestige of the program is that it is completely state-funded. It was a really formative experience, and I met people who changed my life. Contact the State & National Editor at state@dailytarheel.com.

Students who registered but moved can vote today

Carolina students registered to vote in Orange County can still vote today, even if they have changed addresses since registering. If students have not reported their change in address, they should follow certain guidelines. Voters who have moved within their precinct can report their change of address at the polls. Moves to other dorms might be to another precinct. If students have moved to another precinct, they should go back to their old precinct, get a transfer form and take it to the new precinct or the Board of Elections office in Hillsborough. Alternately, students can go back to their old precinct, report the address change and vote a provisional ballot, or do the same at their new precinct. Students can also go to any other Orange County precinct and vote using a provisional ballot, though this option is the most difficult for elections officials to handle. Provisional ballots are counted later in the week after it is determined that voters are, in fact, registered and have not voted twice.

Shantala Shivalingappa unites the Eastern and Western worlds through dance. The Indian classical dancer will perform her piece Shiva Ganga in Memorial Hall tonight. Afroz Taj, an Asian studies professor who helped publicize the event, said the dancer was born in India, but was brought up in Paris which accounts for the Eastern and Western influences in her dancing. He said she learned many styles of Indian classical dance from her mother. The style she will perform tonight is called Kuchipudi, a 2,000-year-old tradition. Taj said Kuchipudi arose in Southern India to connect a poet, musician and costumed dancer as a single entity. He also said Shivalingappa captures the extempore style of Kuchipudi with her facial

expressions and body movements even though the performance is choreographed. She moves the rhythm through her feet the rhythm seems to follow her as she dances, he said. Prior to the performance, Nileena Dash, director of Pani Dance Academy in Chapel Hill, will showcase eight different Indian styles of dance in Gerrard Hall, including Kuchipudi. Dash said Shiva Ganga will begin with the classical nritta, a technical dance created to ask forgiveness from mother earth for stomping on her.

Yera Chokshi, a member of Bhangra Elite an Indian dance team on the UNC campus, said like Shivalingappa, her team performs to share the rhythm of Indian dance with its audience. Our biggest challenge as a team is to take an aged art form and blend classical Indian dance with Western music to close a

Chapel Hill schools could start composting

Town partners with Galapagos capital

By Conor Furlong
Staff Writer

Even the youngest of Chapel Hills residents will now be carrying on the towns image of being environmentally focused. Officials from the Chapel HillCarrboro City Schools sustainability committee are considering a program to compost food at local schools. The committee conducted an audit at Estes Hills Elementary School last week to see how much and what types of compostable

trash students throw away. The audit aimed to see if the district can collect the 4,000 pounds of trash it would need to generate each month to join Carolina Dining Services and local restaurants in a program that composts food waste. Based on a November audit, one schools kitchen made just 650 pounds of compostable trash, not enough to make collection cost-effective. To collect enough waste, the schools are now looking past the kitchen and into the cafeteria.

Based on the November audit, composting student trash might add about 120 pounds daily, or about 3,360 pounds monthly, to the kitchen total, said Todd LoFrese, the school districts assistant superintendent for support services. Theres not enough waste in the back, said Cody Marshall, Orange County recycling programs manager. But we know that theres probably enough food in the front. Audits will be conducted at Phillips Middle School and East Chapel Hill High School dur-

ing the next two weeks to ensure enough food scrap is produced at the elementary, middle and high school levels. If the audits show the 4,000 pound minimum isnt attainable, it might be decreased, Marshall said. But he said that would depend on talks with the composting contractor. Officials are concerned about students sorting food correctly. Students would have to sort waste into several categories, and if there was too much error, the compost would become useless.

Getting kids of any age to do this is difficult, said Blair Pollock, Orange County solid waste planner. Marshall said the process has proved troublesome for students, but participants could be educated and the process simplified. The only way to make a program like this successful is to make it simple, Marshall said. The three schools targeted for the audit already compost kitchen scraps through a pilot program, LoFrese said. Solid waste department officials said the schools sustain-

ability programs have reduced the amount of wasted food. What were finding is that theyre reducing food waste as were thinking about collecting it, Pollock said. But officials say there is still room to grow. We want to see what we can do to increase and expand our recycling program, LoFrese said. We are doing quite a bit, but our policy calls for continuous improvement. Contact the City Editor at city@dailytarheel.com.

Chapel Hill is continuing its history of branching out internationally, and town officials hope to see a budding partnership with a town in the Galapagos grow. In May, Chapel Hill agreed to a sister city relationship with Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, the capital of the Galapagos province in Ecuador. This partnership grew from relations between UNC and Universidad San Francisco de Quito and was proposed by Puerto Baquerizo Morenos mayor,

said Chapel Hill Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt. He came and proposed that since the universities had a close relationship, the towns should look to create a relationship as well, Kleinschmidt said. This spring, Kleinschmidt accompanied Chancellor Holden Thorp to Puerto Baquerizo Moreno for the commencement of the Galapagos Science Center, now used by both schools. Kleinschmidt finalized the communities relationship on the trip. And while the towns havent begun concrete projects, they hope to

move things forward. Weve been communicating directly, largely through the universities, Kleinschmidt said. He said the towns are looking into creating a cultural exchange between grade level schools. We have a lot to learn from them around appreciating the natural environment and protecting species, he said. Itd be great to extend the educational connection. Steve Walsh, director of UNCs Center for Galapagos Studies and co-director of the center, said environmental research done in Ecuador will benefit both towns.

What we are doing has applicability to the rest of the planet and North Carolina, he said. But the Galapagos isnt the only place Chapel Hill has connections to internationally. The town has also had relationships with the Guro District of Seoul, South Korea and Saratov, Russia. The mayor of Guro was interested in how the research triangle had capitalized on its university systems, said former Chapel Hill Mayor Kevin Foy, who was in office when the relationship was formed in 2006. He said the city sent a delegation

to Chapel Hill to see how the town and University relationship worked. In turn, Foy went to Guro in 2007. And in 1992, Chapel Hill formed an official sister city relationship with a town in Russia. The Chapel Hill museum has since housed an exhibit on Saratov that displays traditional crafts and glassware from the city. Officials say town global relations will enrich both partners. Both communities can benefit from an exchange of information, said Diego Quiroga, vice president for research at Universidad San Francisco de Quito. Contact the City Editor at city@dailytarheel.com.

Jacksons doctor found guilty for causing death
LOS ANGELES (MCT) Michael Jacksons personal physician has been found guilty of involuntary manslaughter for causing the pop icons 2009 death by a powerful surgical anesthetic. The verdict against Dr. Conrad Murray comes after a jury of seven men and five women deliberated for about nine hours over two days. The 58-year-old cardiologist, who was charged with the lowest possible homicide offense, faces a maximum sentence of four years in state prison and a minimum sentence of probation. Murray now also faces the probable loss of his medical license. California authorities already suspended his right to practice, but medical boards in Nevada and Texas agreed to wait to evaluate licenses he holds in their states until after the criminal case. Central to the governments case were the doctors own words from a police interview two days after Jacksons death. In the 2-hour tape, Murray admitted to giving the singer the propofol caving after Jackson repeatedly begged for it, he said as well as two other drugs earlier in the day. Admissions in the interview were enough evidence enough of the doctors guilt, witnesses said.

public to know about the first nationwide test of the emergency alert system, scheduled for Wednesday. The decades-old warning system is often tested locally, but it has never been tested on every radio and TV station in the country at the same time, according to FEMA. The agency is trying to get the word out about the test to avoid unnecessary alarm like, say, the panic caused by Orson Welles 1938 radio broadcast of a fictional Martian invasion in New Jersey. Officials also want to prevent the test from tying up 911 phone lines. We have alerted our 911 call centers about the possibility for increased call volume during the Nov. 9 test, Alisa Simmons, a spokeswoman for the 911 network in Tarrant County, Texas, said in a statement appealing to the public not to call about the exercise.

Supreme Court to consider life prison terms for juveniles

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) The Supreme Court agreed Monday to consider putting a new national limit on life prison terms for juveniles age 14 or younger. Nationwide, there are 73 inmates who were sentenced to life terms with no possible parole for their role in homicides committed when they were 14 or younger. The justices voted to hear

appeals from two of those inmates one from Alabama and one from Arkansas to decide whether such a punishment for a very young criminal violates the Constitutions ban on cruel and unusual punishment. Last year the justices ruled it was unconstitutional for Florida and other states to impose a life term with no parole for criminals under age 18 whose crimes did not involve a homicide. The ruling in Graham v. Florida did not say that these young criminals deserved to go free, but it said they were entitled to a parole hearing at some time to decide whether they were no longer a threat to society.

Restaurants must OE Enterprises named Business of the Year redirect sewage

By Matt Hasselberg
Staff Writer

Restaurants on the south side of East Main Street in Carrboro might be forced to close unless they meet proper regulations set by the countys health department. A sewer line that serves several businesses, including Armadillo Grill, ACME Food and Beverage Co. and the Orange County Social Club, experienced a blockage in late August. As a temporary solution, the businesses redirected their sewage lines into a private pipeline underneath the Bank of America building. Orange County Environmental Health director Tom Konsler said the solution does not meet the appropriate standards. Typically an approved connection connects the building waste plumbing to the OWASA line, he said. What theyve got now is a collection basin connecting through a neighboring private line. Konsler said the private line is not adequately sized for the number of businesses it now supports or fitted with the proper safety precautions. After the county set the businesses letters threatening closure, the business owners appealed and a hearing date was set for early next year, Konsler said. Our goal is to continue working with the businesses so they can stay in operation until they have an appropriate sewer connection made, he said. Tricia Mesigian, owner of Orange County Social Club, said she hopes the situation will be resolved. Weve been working very closely with the health department, so I guess Im optimistic that they wont shut us down, she said. However, she added the plumbing situation has been an ongoing problem so she is grateful the issue is being addressed. If we have to shut down in order for this to get fixed, then Im glad to do it, she said. The towns priority is to keep the businesses open and provide support to help reparations move

Lecture on Historic 20th-Century Aviation Feats by Peter McMillan 81

November 10, 2011 | 5:30pm | FedEx Global Education Center

Inspired by the spirit of adventurous aviation pioneers, UNC alumnus Peter McMillan 81 and Australian Lang Kidby built an exact replica of the WWI Vickers Vimy biplane, complete with open cockpit and cotton-covered wings. Then they re-enacted three flights that ushered the plane into the history books: the first England-to-Australia flight (1919); first transatlantic crossing (1919), eight years before Lindberghs solo flight; and first England-to-South Africa flight (1920). Incorporating photos and video footage of both the original and modern flights, McMillans captivating story will allow viewers to witness the joy of cruising over the Taj Mahal and the aftermath of a crash landing on Sumatra! Public reception and book signing to follow. Free and open to the public.
Co-hosted by UNC Global and the UNC Curriculum in Global Studies. The FedEx Global Education Center is located at 301 Pittsboro St., Chapel Hill, 27516. For parking instructions, visit global.unc.edu/vimy.

thats not sustainable, he said. He said inflated property values have also become a problem the council must address. We cant attract a diverse community with housing prices creeping towards half a million dollars. Steele said his group is excited to see candidates who endorse fiscal responsibility on the ballot. Many levels of government are in need of a change and need to make spending cutbacks, he said. Electing fiscal conservatives is extremely important to doing that. But regardless of fiscal outlook, tough choices lie ahead for those who win seats. We just dont have the money to have everything we think should be a priority at the top of the list, Foy said. The former council member said voters should judge the candidates less on where they come from and how old they are, and more on what kind of council members they would be.

tuition talk

mondays musings

Town/Gown
Linda Convissor, the Universitys director of local relations, said UNC relations with the town could improve if either Lee Storrow or Jason Baker, both recent graduates, are elected. A former student perspective would bring a lot to the council, because professors are often our biggest critics, but students gain a broader view of the campus, she said. They know the players, the campus culture and how the dynamics work at the University. And Young Democrats President Nathan Westmoreland and College Republicans Chairman Greg Steele said they think having a fresh-fromUNC voice on the council could improve the governments understanding of student needs. Its exciting for me and for the University community that we have a couple of young people running, Westmoreland said. We could develop a really strong relationship with the town with good input from both sides. Steele said the University deserves greater representation. In this community, the University is such a big part of everything that goes on, so its very important students are represented in the town, he said. Freshman anthropology major Grant Muir said students will be affected by the election and he thinks they could have an impact on the results. When you look at the towns population demographics, the student population is big, which makes it important, Muir said. Students have a lot of power and could sway an election if they were organized. Westmoreland stressed the importance for students to vote. Weve had the forums and debates and seen the candidates questionnaires, and now its just all about getting students out to the polls.

sons, we were cut more because of other reasons, like our ability to get grants and research dollars.

Regional development
The council election results could also have repercussions that extend well beyond town limits. Ferrel Guillory, a journalism professor who specializes in local politics, said Chapel Hill is becoming an increasingly important player in the surrounding metropolitan area. He said issues like transportation and development will require closer cooperation between Chapel Hill and its neighboring cities and towns. Chapel Hill has become a job magnet in North Carolina and we need a local government that doesnt isolate itself or hunker down and take a narrow view, he said. Because of the way the economy has changed, I think this election has an importance beyond our individual district, the surrounding metropolitan area has blossomed and our officials need to reflect that blossoming. Foy agreed that the candidates elected to the council will play key roles in shaping the how the town evolves regionally. Chapel Hill is not the same place it was 20 years ago, he said. It has grown and it will keep growing, but the real questions are how it will grow, what pace it will grow at and who in the community will be involved. He said voters must realize whats at stake. We need thoughtful people to make decisions that reflect our values if we expect to be true to ourselves. Contact the City Editor at city@dailytarheel.com.

student: Why has increasing the number of out-of-state student population not been explored? maRy cooPeR: If we were to increase the number of outof-state students by 500, the net revenue would be only $200,000. Adding these students when we already have a large population would change the dynamics of the University while not adding much revenue. Also, the University is required by the Board of Governors to keep the number of out-of-state students per class at or below 18 percent. Coopers reaction
Although the majority of students in attendance were members of student government, Coopers said she was satisfied with the turnout. Tonights turnout was pretty great, she said. We worked with our student government committees to make sure people came. Cooper asked students at the forum to work together and propose alternative solutions to tuition increases. Proposals ranged from students being able to approve how additional tuition money gets spent to having more student representatives in the committees that make the decisions on tuition, Cooper said. She added that she hopes people will tell their friends and participation in the forums will increase. Contact the University Editor at university@dailytarheel.com.

Youth vs. experience

The current town councils youngest member is 40 years old but the board could see two much younger members after this election. At the same time, three incumbents Matt Czajkowski, Jim Ward and Donna Bell are hoping to bring their experience back to the table. Gerdau said hes glad to see a diverse group of candidates running for the council, but thinks experience is what Chapel Hill needs in the coming years. We need some good thinking, and we need some good leadership, he said. We need those tried and true hands at the tiller now. But Julie McClintock, a former council member who remains active in town affairs, said she also thinks its important to add fresh voices to council discussion. Im tremendously enthused about getting some young people on the council, particularly ones with values that correspond to the town, she said.

Economic/fiscal concerns
Former Chapel Hill Mayor Kevin Foy said the council will face tough decisions if the economy doesnt turn around soon making this election particularly important. The people who we choose to make decisions for our community are going to have to make very difficult choices about our priorities, he said. Gregg Gerdau, secretary of Chapel Hills Friends of the Downtown a nonprofit that addresses business concerns said economic sustainability and affordable housing are major issues the newly elected council will have to tackle.

We are giving them a better space for their exclusive use, he said. And the space is still the largest footprint of any student organization so far. After the 2009 investments, STV was granted exclusive priority in booking the room though it was not permanently reserved for their use. The multipurpose room is a meeting room, first and foremost, Luse said. It always has been. The renovations to the multipurpose room became necessary after last years failure of the UCommons referendum left the marketing and design department without a permanent location. The department has occupied the Class of 2000 Lounge since the summer. In a proposal to the board in its meeting last week, STV members requested a 1,295 square-foot section of the multipurpose room, which members said represented a compromise. It wouldnt be perfect, but it would be something that STV could handle with minimal change from what we have now. The board voted against STVs counterproposal and will proceed with the renovation plans. The new renovations will add more large meeting rooms to the east wing of the Union, Luse said.

Report a change of address in order to vote
TO THE EDITOR: Thousands of UNC students have registered to vote in Orange County in past years and may be voting today. Here is important information if youve moved and not reported your change of address: 1) If you have moved within your precinct, you can still vote, but you report your address change at the polls. If a move is within the same dorm, it is always within the same precinct. Moving to other dorms may be to another precinct. 2) If you have moved from your Orange County voter registration address more than 30 days ago to another address not in same precinct, you have four choices: a. Go back to your old precinct, get a precinct transfer form and take it to either the new precinct or the Board of Elections Office in Hillsborough by 7:30 p.m. to vote on a regular ballot. You will be told where your new precinct is. b. Go back to your old precinct, report your address change, and vote on a provisional ballot there. c. Go to your new precinct, report your address change, (this involves knowing what precinct it is and where the polling place is) and vote on a provisional ballot d. Go to any Orange County precinct, report your address change, (this involves knowing where a polling place is) and vote on a provisional ballot. This method, while allowed by law, is the most difficult for election officials to handle. Provisional ballots are counted later in the week after it is determined that you were registered and have not voted twice. Gerry Cohen Former Member Chapel Hill Town Council ing 10 percent-plus unemployment, more students are enrolling who in the past may have headed straight to the workforce. Others may need developmental courses to change career paths. We in public education would love to see reduced need for remediation in our institutions of higher learning, and we continue to work that end. But there is also a need to develop our workforce and provide educational opportunities to all of our citizens. That role historically has been embraced by our states community college system, even if it requires some remediation to help our citizens reach their full potential. June Atkinson State Superintendent Department of Public Instruction

n Chapel Hill, the harsh reality of having to do more with less appears to be going nowhere. That is, until town leaders embrace what has to be done and make tough decisions. The nine Town Council candidates up for election or re-election today have largely agreed on what needs to be done, echoing each others calls for more openness to economic development, more affordable housing and for a Comprehensive Plan that puts the town on a sustainable track. With this general agreement on substance, todays election is one of style, experience and aptitude. In the Town Council race, we endorse the following:

Private donations will ease economic burden

TO THE EDITOR: The University of North Carolinas commitment to excellence, longevity and the people is a point of pride for this state. From the beginning, UNCs founders promised to commit to education by making tuition as free as possible. With another round of tuition hikes due to state budget cuts, is the University putting its reputation and mission at risk? The University needs to cease raising tuition and start seeking out private donors willing to support the University. If UNC wishes to uphold its mission of affordable education for all, the University should start seeking out alumni and friends to cough up some dollars, proving their pride and support. The latest news of another possible tuition increase of nearly $3,000 in the next couple of years is dismaying. While tuition hikes save programs and increase the paychecks of well-deserving professors, the burden falls on the students who end up with increased debt already an average of $25,250. Because of increased financial burden coupled with high unemployment rates among the college-educated and the troubling economy, the next generation will be carrying a huge economic weight. Increasing tuition only means encumbering a burden that is much too big already. Funding is needed for the institution. The quality of the institution will suffer without funding. Either way students suffer increased tuition or poor quality of education. To prevent suffering for both the University and the students, private funding is the way out of this financial hole. UNC needs to look to alumni and other proud people who don the sky blue attire. The University ought to invest in seeking out donors who will donate their funds. We need to look toward the 1 percent for private donations. Kate Nol Graduate Student Social Work

Who we didnt endorse

Jason Baker
Jason Baker clearly has a vested interest in Chapel Hill, and his commitment to understanding local businesses is commendable. But with a limited number of seats up for grabs, we feel that Storrow better covers the young perspective and Czajkowski has the superior grasp of the towns business needs.

Augustus Cho
Augustus Cho rand and lost in both the 2009 mayoral and 2008 congressional elections. His luck shouldnt change this year. Chos fiscal platform is covered by other candidates, and his push to make anti-panhandling laws stricter is less pragmatic than other options, like educating residents or better enforcement. His approach toward the Comprehensive Plan emphasizes public feedback but otherwise gives little direction for the town.

laney Dale
Laney Dale describes the ideal leader as one who climbs the tree and leads with vision but he doesnt have that vision quite yet. Dale shows potential, but not for this year.

Remedial rates have dropped at NC colleges

TO THE EDITOR: I am writing to offer some observations on your Oct. 26 article that questions the preparation of North Carolinas high school graduates based on higher education remediation rates. The article states that enrollment in remedial courses at universities and community colleges has skyrocketed, but that is not the case at North Carolinas public universities. Remedial enrollment at our states public universities actually has dropped since the mid-1990s. For freshmen who graduated high school the previous year, the remediation rate was 14.6 percent from 1993 to 1994, according to university system data. From 2009 to 2010, the remediation rate was 8.3 percent, down from 9.4 percent from 2008 to 2009. These numbers represent great improvement for students enrolling in a fouryear institution. Remediation rates have increased in our open-admissions community colleges. One reason for that increase may be that in a job market featur-

Carl Schuler
Carl Schuler has freely admitted that hes unfamiliar with several key issues. On others, hes failed to articulate clear solutions. More experience is necessary to lead Chapel Hill at this time.

Quarter-cent sales tax a must

ne year after its narrow defeat, the quarter-cent sales tax referendum has made a ballot comeback. As many of its opponents have noted, this referendums return may not be a win for democracy but its failure would come as a critical loss to Orange County. For the sake of schools, infrastructure and economic development programs, voters should take the increases almost unnoticeable pain for immediate countywide gains. The criticism of this referendum is well-founded, considering that it was rejected

EDiTOriAl

fter claiming the closest mayoral election in Chapel Hills history, Mark Kleinschmidt knew he had to transform from fiery candidate to coalition builder. This years weak mayoral field is a testament to the job hes done to unify the often divisive Town Council. While not perfect, his ability to unify makes him the clear choice for mayor. Kleinschmidt has rebuilt a divided council, focused on economic issues and incorporated opposing views. Now, looking toward his second term, Kleinschmidt needs to reignite the fire that propelled him into the mayors office in 2009 and keep pushing the council forward. Kleinschmidts plans for issues

Vote yes to support Orange Countys infrastructure.

like panhandling and big-box retail are less than ambitious, but residents have little choice. Kevin Wolff has contributed little to the campaign beyond petty politics, and Tim Sookram must take himself seriously before voters can. Those voters owe it to themselves to re-elect Mayor Mark. He owes them more than a complacent second-term mayor.

last year and its opponents rural voters dont have anything else on the ballot this year. Ultimately, these voters still have the right to vote. And the county has reached out to them, adding 11 polling stations to ensure fairness. If passed, the quartercent sales tax would amount to 25 cents for every $100 spent on anything other than gas, groceries or medicine. The tax would draw from tourists and residents alike, generating $2.5 million a year. In addition to its stated goals, this revenue would fend off property tax increases and actually enlarge the tax base. Orange County can and must vote to help itself this time around.
