UNC releases full player transcripts

Thousands of pages detail players trips and relationships with agents.
By Andy Thomason
Editor-in-Chief
The University released thousands of pages of documents related
to the 2010 NCAA football investigation on Monday following a legal settlement with eight media groups, including The Daily Tar Heel, that had sought the records for two years. The largest single portion of the records includes transcripts of NCAA interviews with football players who were at the heart of the investigation in its early stages. Although the settlement prohib-
its the media groups from posting the transcripts online, they can be quoted and excerpted. Below are some of the most revealing sections of the transcripts after one day of examination: In the first days of the investigation, NCAA officials tried to discern who paid for several trips taken by defensive tackle Marvin Austin,
including three to Miami. Austin first told officials one of the trips was paid for by Vontae Davis, now a cornerback for the Indianapolis Colts. Austin: Vontae is my lifelong friend. You know what Im saying? Ive knew this man forever Before he got rich or whatever you want to say, before he was who he is now I was out there working out with
him, grinding with him. So I dont understand why its a problem for him to you know what Im saying bring me down. People take trips all the time. You know what Im saying? People bring their friends and stuff down all the time. So Im kind of like shocked like why is it such a problem for him to do that for me?

Todays presidential election is expected to be tight in nc.

By Madeline Will
Assistant State & National Editor
The next president of the United States will be decided today, and North Carolinians could play a key role. After a campaign season where
both parties focused on get-outthe-vote efforts, the race in the state hinges on voter turnout. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is leading North Carolina by 3 percentage points, accordELECTIONS ing to Real Clear Politics, an organization that aggregates polling data. But Tom Jensen, director of Public Policy Polling, a left-leaning
2012
Raleigh polling firm, said the race is still too close to call in the state. The firm has President Barack Obama and Romney in a near-tie. Obama won North Carolina by about 14,000 votes in 2008, and Jensen said if Obama takes the state again, it will be even closer. The key region in the state is the Triangle, he said. Obama, in 2008, lost every region in the state other than the Triangle, but he won the Triangle by such a large margin that he won the
state. (This year), he not only needs to win, but he needs to have a large turnout to make up for what we expect will be losses in the other areas. Tracy Reams, director of the Orange County Board of Elections, said the county has more registered Democrats than Republicans. But she said the county saw a decrease in early voting turnout from 2008, from 51,961 ballots cast early to 50,243 this year. There has been a slight uptick
in early voting across the state compared to 2008, when 2.6 million votes were cast before election day. This year, 2.7 million have been cast so far. According to Public Policy Polling, Obama led by 9 percentage points in the states two-week early voting period. But Romney is ahead by 16 points among those who plan to vote today.

Melted pipe causes flooding, evacuation in Granville Towers

Bus advertisements frozen for 4 weeks

Town council will wait until Dec. 3 meeting to define the bus ad policy.

Smoke and flooding forced Granville Towers East residents out of their rooms early Sunday morning leading to temporary student relocations and up to half a million dollars in damages. According to a report from the Chapel Hill Fire Department, a ventilation fan motor in a third floor bathroom overheated, melting a PVC pipe for the sprinkler system that led to flooding in the first three floors. The flooding affected 140 residents, said Susan Jennings, vice

Advertising on Chapel Hill Transit buses will remain frozen for at least another four weeks. During its Monday night meeting, the Chapel Hill Town Council deferred a decision to define the towns bus advertising policy to its Dec. 3 meeting. Council members Penny Rich, Jim Ward and Gene Pease voted to uphold the current policy, which was drafted in 2011 and prohibits political and religious ads. But it did not receive the required five votes to pass. Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt and council members Donna Bell and
Matt Czajkowski were all absent from Mondays meeting. In August, Chapel Hills Church of Reconciliation placed an ad on town buses that called for an end to military aid to Israel. The debut of the ads has sparked discussion among residents about their content, and whether buses should be zones of free expression or limited public forums. Last month, Transit Director Steve Spade informed the council that they had been using a draft policy that did not include the political and religious ad restrictions detailed in the approved policy. As a result, the council suspended the advertising program at its Oct. 24 meeting. It will remain suspended until they reach a consensus on what the policy should be. Council member Lee Storrow expressed concern that restricting

veryones had a professor catch them on Facebook in the middle of one of a rant er, lecture. Its much worse when its your bud who has been laughing along at all the memes on your timeline turning you in. A professor at York University in Toronto, Canada, has begun asking his students to report classmates for surfing the Web and tuning out during class. He thinks it creates a better class atmosphere, though turning students against each other seems counterproductive.
Noted. New Jersey continues to keep it classy. Taking advantage of the gasoline shortages after Hurricane Sandy, a crop of class acts took to Craigslist to trade gas for sexual favors.

Chapel Hill recognized for fair trade

Businesses helped Chapel Hill become the states first Fair Trade Town.
By Gayatri Surendranathan
Staff Writer
The owners of East Franklin Streets Caffe Driade know where their coffee comes from. The business is one of 11 in Chapel Hill that participate in fair trade a social movement that helps producers in developing countries secure fair prices for their products. We believe in having relationships with everyone involved in the coffee process, from the grower to the roaster to the customer, said barista Skylar Gudasz. These 11 businesses recently helped Chapel Hill gain national recognition as a Fair Trade Town, the 30th in the United States and the first in North Carolina. Carrboro is also in the process of becoming a
Fair Trade Town. The campaign to earn Chapel Hill this distinction began in UNC sociology professor Judith Blaus classroom in 2010. Im opposed to the exploitation of labor, Blau said. I had my sociology of human rights class really sow the seeds by petitioning the town to support the fair trade movement. The Chapel Hill Town Council passed that resolution in 2010. Keilayn Skutvik, store manager of Chapel Hills Ten Thousand Villages, took over the campaign to gain recognition by the national organization Fair Trade Towns USA. Ten Thousand Villages, a national chain, was one of the first fair trade retail stores to establish a market in the United States. I wanted to get involved in Chapel Hills campaign because corporate is interested in being a part of the Fair Trade Towns movement, Skutvik said. To be recognized as a Fair Trade Town, a town has to have a local
fair trade team, a number of retail locations that sell at least two fair trade items, community organizations that use fair trade products, media coverage and a local government resolution. Billy Linstead Goldsmith, national coordinator of Fair Trade Towns USA, said he is not surprised that Chapel Hill managed to fulfill all of the requirements. For the community, its just one more place they can hang their hat, Linstead Goldsmith said. Theres a huge push around sustainability and social entrepreneurship in Chapel Hill, and thats what fair trade is about. David Suchoff, a barista at Caffe Driade, said the owners of the shop also own Carrboro Coffee Roasters, a company focused on building direct relationships with coffee farmers. When coffee is fair trade, the farmer has more stake in it to make it the best product, Suchoff said. This commitment to fair trade

can be seen in other neighborhood businesses including Ben & Jerrys, Trader Joes and Weaver Street Market, Blau said. Chapel Hill is a great example of how the University community and the larger community can work
together to make a difference, Linstead Goldsmith said. Were thrilled that they were able to bridge that gap. Contact the desk editor at [email protected].

boys and girls Club one step closer to opening

By Graves Ganzert
Staff Writer
After an eight year wait, Sunday marked a monumental step for the youth of Chapel Hill. The Boys and Girls Clubs of America finally broke ground on its newest 107 Johnson St. location Sunday evening. About 50 people attended the ceremony, a majority of whom made a direct contribution to bringing the location to Chapel Hill. Those in attendance said they were excited for the start of a community resource that will bring after school, sports and leadership programs to local kids. But Chapel Hill Town Council member Donna Bell said the process for getting the Boys and Girls Clubs to Chapel Hill has been long and trying. They put in the application for the club in November 2004, Bell said. It is now coming together, and this is the next step.
The club, which will be the first in Orange County, will assist local youth that are experiencing financial trouble. The ultimate goal of the Boys and Girls Clubs of America is to develop children into more productive members of society. Mashallah Salaam, a 16-year-old Chapel Hill resident, said she was excited about the new group. I realize what the Boys and Girls Clubs has done for other communities and how it has helped build many of the worlds greatest leaders of today, such as Bill Clinton, Michael Jordan and the first black president, Barack Obama, Salaam said. Salaam spoke at the groundbreaking ceremony, and she told the group about her excitement for the after school activities the new club will provide. I believe that the Boys and Girls Clubs will be very positive in helping youth, Salaam said. Steve Morris, regional service director
for Boys and Girls Clubs of America, said he was thrilled with the new location. There are a lot of potential resources, especially with having the University so close, said Morris. Morris said he thinks the large amount of resources in the area will allow the club to reach its full potential. Its been promising that they started this and made this possible in such economic times, he said. It is absolutely remarkable. Ben Perry, president of the clubs Orange County unit, said he was thankful for all of the support that ultimately led to the groundbreaking ceremony. Its been a pleasure to work with the local government here to make this happen, he said. Without a great partnership with the national Boys and Girls Clubs, we would not be here.

unC administrators explore online options

The University assesses the possibility of free online courses.
By Lillian Evans and Meredith Burns
Staff Writers
In the Universitys effort to keep education accessible, administrators are focusing their efforts on an up-and-coming forum, online education. And now, they are exploring a new way to put course content online for free. Carol Tresolini, vice provost for academic initiatives, said the University is considering a partnership with Coursera, a massive open online course (MOOC) provider. MOOC providers offer free courses from some of the nations top universities to anyone with access to a computer. Provost Bruce Carney will present a short summary about the strengths and weaknesses of online education and online course providers such as Coursera to the Board of Trustees on Nov. 14.
Rob Bruce, director of UNCs William and Ida Friday Center for Continuing Education, said the most important element of online education is access. Im thinking of (former UNC-system President) Bill Friday, and he constantly advocated for access, and access to education distance education really can bring that about, Bruce said. The Friday Center offers about 138 courses, which reach about 4,000 students worldwide each year. Leslie Parise, a member of UNCs faculty executive committee, said online education is unique because it reaches students who would not otherwise be able to receive an on-campus education. Online education should be viewed as something that can further enhance what we are already doing well and bring the best of UNC to more students, Parise said. I believe evolving technology will drive change whether it is initially embraced or not. MOOC providers cater to thousands of students per class by posting all class material
A lot of schools have become involved, and we think its worth exploring.
Carol Tresolini,
vice provost for academic initiatives
If it isnt broken, dont fix it. Thats the mindset that members of the Faculty Executive Committee share about the Universitys course dropping policy but a proposal by the UNC-system Board of Governors suggests a different opinion. On Thursday, the Board of Governors will discuss a systemwide limit of 10 days for students to drop a class, which would override UNCs current eight-week period. Were doing a good job, said committee member Greg Copenhaver. We should work to protect our autonomy. Committee members said they believe the eight-week policy is sufficient for students to get feedback from instructors and make informed decisions on whether to drop a class. Following a 2004 study on retention rates, UNC lengthened its drop period from six weeks to eight weeks. When recreated in 2010, the study showed that course retention rates had risen five percentage points, proving that the extended eight-week period was effective, said Bobbi Owen, associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Owen said the drop rate has remained steady at about 6 percent per semester. Bearing that data in mind, committee members said they unanimously opposed the Board of Governors proposal. Committee chairwoman Jan Boxill said two weeks is not enough time for students to receive feedback on their courses and make informed decisions. She added many courses might not have had a graded assignment in the first two weeks. If the systems proposal is passed, students who wish to no longer be in a class after the twoweek period would have to withdraw from the course. A withdrawal is documented on a students transcript. Committee members said they worry that if withdrawals are marked on transcripts, students might be less explorative and adventurous when registering for classes. Members added that since more than 60 percent of UNC students enroll in graduate school within four years of graduation, students will also be more likely to want to avoid any blemishes on their academic records. Committee member Shielda Rodgers, who works in the School of Nursing, said that in her experience with graduate school admissions, withdrawals can be detrimental to an applicant. If we see a lot of withdrawals, that is a red flag and does not look good for the application process, Rodgers said. Contact the desk editor at [email protected].
online in video form. The courses rely heavily on peer assessments and online quizzes for grading. They also offer a statement of accomplishment signed by the professor upon completion but it generally has not transferred to university credit. A lot of schools have become involved, and we think its worth exploring, Tresolini said. On Oct. 29, Antioch University at Los Angeles announced that it would become the first U.S. university to offer academic credit from Coursera. MeHee Hyun, co-chairwoman of the liberal studies program at Antioch, said working with Coursera allows Antioch to tap into the resources of larger institutions while lowering the cost of education for its students. Bruce said he took a science fiction and fantasy literature course offered through Coursera. It was well done, and I was
impressed with it, but its not a course, really, Bruce said. Im viewing a video, but Im not on a message board or a discussion forum and interacting directly with a faculty member as I would be with a Carolina Course Online. Bruce said UNC is exploring the video teaching method Coursera uses. He said it is important to consider whether the video is for flashy effect or if there is substance behind it. Maggie OHara, the UNCsystem director of e-learning, said the system is still in the exploration stage of its relationship with Coursera. Were keeping a close eye on whats happening all over the place, OHara said. Its an exciting time to be in education, both as an educator and a student. Contact the desk editor at [email protected].

UNC (6-3, 3-2 ACC), which ranks 19th in rushing defense among FBS schools, will hope to use defensive restraint Saturday to stay undefeated at home this season and build off a thrilling win against N.C. State. But slowing down the Yellow Jackets unique attack is no easy task, no matter how simple Fedora makes it seem. The triple-option in which the quarterback has the option to throw the ball, hand it off or pitch it caused headaches for UNCs defense last year in Atlanta, when the Tar Heels fell to Georgia Tech 35-28 and surrendered 335 yards on the ground. Senior defensive tackle Sylvester Williams, who saw the Yellow Jackets last season, knows he and his fellow linemen must concentrate on their defensive task and their defensive task only. Ive got to take my assignment every time, (and) everyone has to take their assignment every time and wait for the plays to come to them, Williams said. At some point in the game a play is going to come to you, and youve just got to make it. Fedora hopes his offense will lend the defense a hand.
He said UNC must keep the Georgia Tech offense off the field as long as possible. That way, he hopes, the Yellow Jackets (4-5, 3-3) wont have as many chances to run their intricate attack against his defense. Weve got to do a great job of moving the chains, Fedora said. Its going to be very important that we dont have short possessions. Weve got to take care of the football so we dont give them extra possessions. We have to finish when we have the ball. It will be tough on the defense weve got to keep them off the field as much as possible. Senior offensive guard Jonathan Cooper said he feels a similar burden. One of the things they do is try to sustain on drives and really eat up the clock, Cooper said. If we can keep the ball out of their hands itll really help us on both sides of the ball. But even if the defense stays disciplined and the offense limits Georgia Techs possessions, there is still the chance that the Yellow Jackets can hit UNC with its less-vaunted passing attack. Last season against UNC, Georgia Tech quarterback Tevin Washington threw for 184 yards and a touchdown and ran for two and receiver Stephen Hill caught six passes for 151 yards and a touchdown. I actually was surprised, because that was something we did not prepare for we had prepared for them to run the option, Williams said of Georgia Techs passing game. I suspect them to do some of the same things this year. Contact the desk editor at [email protected].

Miller: Do you talk to your coaches any about agents, financial advisers?

Austin: No, he told me to stay away from em.

Todd Stewart: I would say it was I wanna say my girlfriend. I think my girlfriend, but she used my card that time I think. My girlfriend did. No, I did. I did. I did. I did.

ence professor at N.C. State University, said while Democrats are more likely to vote early, they are also more fickle in election day turnout. Obama won on early voting in 2008 and lost on Election Day (in the state), but he had enough to win, he said. My guess is that hes got a good lead, but I dont know if its enough. Romney is leading among independents by 15 points, according to Public Policy Polling. In 2008, we found Obama winning independent voters, so this is a major shift, Jensen said. Romney is really right around where he needs to be with independents in order to win. Obamas campaign has successfully targeted certain demographics likely to lean Democratic, Cobb said. N.C.

Joey Skavroneck, a freshman who lives across the hall from where the flooding started on the third floor, said he got a call at 2:30 a.m. Sunday from his roommate letting him know about the flooding. There was a little under a foot of water in our room, Skavroneck said.I had some clothes damaged. Textbooks were the main thing anything left on the floor was damaged because for us, the water came through the floor and the lower walls. Students said they began to realize something was wrong when smoke started to fill the rooms above the melted fan.

Zarrin said that when she ran to open her door, a cloud of smoke rolled out. Chapel Hill firefighters were dispatched to the property at 1:09 a.m., responding to what was originally considered a structural fire, said Assistant Fire Marshal Johnny Parker.

interior advertising would lead to viewpoint discrimination. He pointed out that the lax enforcement of the policy goes back much further than August. Storrow said other churches have displayed ads on town buses prior to the Church of Reconciliations ad. For over a year, no one said anything. No one knew that we were not enforcing a policy, Storrow said. No one knew that policy was incorrect. Council memberLaurin Easthom said she did not initially support advertising but now sees buses as free speech zones. By allowing those ads we have, whether we intended to or not, created a public forum, she said. Weve opened it up and I do not want to close that door. Many groups including the American Civil Liberties Union have spoken out in support of the ads out of concern that limiting potentially offensive ads chills free speech. Others, including Ward, supported the original policy restricting political and religious ads. By doing this, I hope to remove Chapel Hill Transit from the center of First Amendment issue, he said. Rich said she recalls drafting the policy and considering First Amendment conflicts at a budget work session in 2011. We spoke a lot about this policy. It wasnt something we took lightly, she said. Ward said he also wanted to hear from the transit partners, which include the University and the town of Carrboro, before the council makes its final decision. The partners will meet on Nov. 27 to discuss the bus advertising policy. Contact the desk editor at [email protected].

State politicians still debate fracking

By Claire Bennett
Staff Writer
Although fracking has not been featured prominently in political debates leading up to todays election, the natural gas extraction process has nevertheless remained on state politicians minds. In July, the ELECTIONS N.C. General Assembly overrode Gov. Bev Perdues veto of legislation that legalized hydraulic fracturing known as frack-
2012
ing in the state beginning in 2014. Fracking consists of drilling and injecting a mix of water, sand and chemicals into shale rock formations to release trapped natural gas. Opponents say the process could lead to environmental contamination, but advocates say it could spur job creation in a sputtering economy. The issue has been divisive along party lines. But in Orange County, neither candidate running for the N.C. Senate District 23 seat supports fracking in the state.
Incumbent Sen. Ellie Kinnaird, D-Orange, said she voted against the legislation supporting fracking in N.C. for several reasons. She said it uses large amounts of water which could be bad due to the states susceptibility to severe droughts and poses a threat to the states groundwater resources. Molly Diggins, director of the N.C. Sierra Club chapter, said the states shale resources are close to aquifers, making contamination a high risk. We think the questions of whether or not it can be
done safely have not been answered, she said. Republican Dave Carter, Kinnairds contender for the Senate District 23 seat, said fracking doesnt make sense for the state. When people say they know what is going on, they probably havent done their research, he said. Carter said anything the state invests in will create jobs but fracking poses potential harm to the environment. If they dont go forward with a hell of a lot of precautions, it wont be safe, he said.
But Michael Whatley, executive vice president of Consumer Energy Alliance, a nonprofit organization dedicated to energy source utilization, said he believes energy companies can safely drill with fracking. I think it is safe to say that not just Consumer Energy Alliance, but any other group in this area, understands this must be done in environmentally responsible ways, he said. Whatley said fracking has fostered job creation in other states, such as North Dakota,
Pennsylvania and Ohio. But Kinnaird said the price of natural gas is at an all-time low, and people will likely lose the money they think they will earn. And Diggins said North Carolina might not have sufficient shale gas resources to warrant fracking. This has created a gold rush mentality that there is going to be a lot of money made fast and thats just not true in North Carolina, she said. Contact the desk editor at [email protected].

Presidential race a tie going into Election Day
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) After billions of dollars, hours of debates and frantic last-minute pitches from the candidates, its up to the voters today to decide whether to give President Barack Obama a second term or change course with Republican Mitt Romney. Also at stake is control of Congress. Thirty-three Senate seats and all 435 House of Representatives seats are up this year, and while the House is expected to remain in Republican hands, Senate control hinges on a host of tight races. Once the polls close starting at 6 p.m. EST in Indiana and Kentucky, a number of early clues will signal whether Obama or Romney will get the 270 electoral votes needed to win. Polls on Monday continued to show the race a virtual tie nationally and in most of the 11 battleground states. The first hints of how the night might go will come in four early poll-closing states: Virginia, North Carolina, New Hampshire and Indiana. Obama won all four in 2008. Romney needs all four if hes to become the sixth person in 100 years to defeat a sitting president. Obama, on the other hand, can score an important win early by taking Florida. Losing its 29 electoral votes would be a huge blow to Romney, who has pushed hard for the states votes and began his last full campaign day Monday in Orlando. Tomorrow we begin a better tomorrow, Romney

The president was in Madison, Wis., where he appeared with legendary rocker Bruce Springsteen. I stood with President Obama four years ago, and Im proud to stand with him today, Springsteen said. Obama hugged the singer and reminded the crowd, Weve got more change to make. Turnout was expected to be down somewhat from 2004 and 2008, according to models developed by the Gallup Organization. Voters have not been quite as engaged in the election, according to a Gallup analysis, and many voters could be distracted by Hurricane Sandy,
Supreme Court rules in favor of protester

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) The Supreme Court ruled Monday that an antiabortion protester who won the right to carry displays of aborted fetuses at a busy intersection is a civil rights advocate entitled to claim attorneys fees in his case against a local government. The justices in an unsigned opinion said that because the South Carolina antiabortion activist had a free-speech right to carry pictures of aborted fetuses that had shocked bystanders, he also had the right per the Civil Rights Act to claim legal fees for vindicating this right in the courts.

Ackland celebrates Japanese holiday

By Gabriella Cirelli
Staff Writer
Patterned origami cranes covered the tops of white tablecloths at the Ackland Art Museum on Saturday, with many small hands folding more. Those old enough to be entrusted with a needle and thread wove colorful tessellations, while others learned the process of screen-printing. The museum celebrated Japanese culture Saturday with Bunka no Hi a national Japanese holiday honoring the arts. The festivities included displays and workshops from local artists to supplement the museums current A Season of Japan exhibition, which showcases Japanese pop-art, ceramics, screen prints and paintings. We wanted to incorporate some of the art forms that you cant see on the walls of museums, said Allison Portnow, events and programs coordinator for the Ackland. A Season of Japan lasts until early January. Current exhibitions include New Light on Japanese Painting painted screens and scrolls and Elegance and Extravagance mid-century Japanese posters. At the Bunka no Hi celebration, a featured art form was temari balls of intricately wrapped yarn with geometric, floral or patterned designs. Local artist Dana Watson, a native of Raleigh, explained the history and culture behind temari as she helped a young girl weave hot pink cotton thread through her ball. Originally they were toys that very high-class people or nobles would make for their kids, Watson said. She said once rubber was introduced in Japan, thus allowing balls to bounce, the art of temari suffered, and interest has revived only in the past 30 years. Next to the temari table sat a station to make traditional Japanese silk embroideries. The temari and silk stations faced a long line of small, landscaped bonsai trees courtesy of the Raleigh-based Triangle Bonsai Society. The North Carolina Haiku Society led haiku readings and workshops, and visitors navigated through the Japanese poster and pop-art exhibitions
in scavenger hunts. Hillsborough resident Libby Barron said she and her twin sons Samuel and Noah are frequent visitors to the Ackland and enjoy the museums many programs. Samuel and Noah, age 9, said they became interested in Japanese culture because their teacher spent a year teaching in Japan. We come to the Ackland for almost all of their activities, Libby Barron said. She said one reason she brings her family to the Ackland is because it is free for all ages. It makes it more accessible, and (the Ackland) has wonder-
ful exhibits and is much more welcoming for children. Amanda Hughes, the Acklands director of external affairs, said the museum acts as a bridge between the Universitys academic community and the broader Chapel Hill community. (Bunka no Hi) allows us to bring forward into the community how alive these traditions are, Hughes said. Thats one of the roles that an art museum can play the role of a center where people can come and discover. Contact the desk editor at [email protected].
As the search continues for the Universitys next chancellor, the committee responsible for finding a suitable candidate is turning to the UNC community for input. The chancellor search committee met Monday to discuss its upcoming public forums, which will start Wednesday, along with the qualities members of the public might want in the next chancellor. The committee formed with the leadership of Wade Hargrove, chairman of the Board of Trustees, after Chancellor Holden Thorp announced in September that he will step down in June. Responses from the forums will be used to craft a leadership statement, which will guide the committees search, said Felicia Washington, a trustee and vice chairwoman of the committee. The public forums are a big part of this so that all constituencies will be heard and their thoughts considered, she said. People who want to speak at the forums will sign up when they arrive, and they will have three to five min-
Info: There is also a staff forum at 2:30 p.m. in the Stone Center Theatre
We may hear some surprising things. We need to go in with ears open.

Don Curtis,
chancellor search committee member
utes to speak, said Erin Schuettpelz, assistant secretary to the Board of Trustees. Student Body President Will Leimenstoll said student government members will be present at each forum. Leimenstoll said members will have large posters with lists of different qualities to look for in a chancellor, and those in attendance will be able to put stickers next to their priorities. It will get the forum more structured and the responses more quantitated, Leimenstoll said. Don Curtis, a trustee and a member of the search committee, said the forums are important as they give the public the opportunity to share their views. We may hear some surprising things, he said. We need to go in with ears open. A survey will also be sent out in order to incorporate the views of those who cant attend the forums. Were taking whats going on at the forums and putting it online for people who cant be there, said Michael
Bertucci, president of the Graduate and Professional Student Foundation. The survey will be sent to a list of more than 180,000 students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends of the University, Schuettpelz said. At Mondays meeting, members spent most of the time tweaking the questions that will appear on the survey, including personal qualities and background of the future chancellor, as well as what the University should focus on in the coming years. Schuettpelz said the survey will be distributed before Thanksgiving, and it is separate from the one circulated by student government. Its a great way for us to proactively seek input, she said. It will take someone five minutes. On the survey, respondents can also note what they hope the University will prioritize. After Saturday, were going to hear they want Gio Bernard as chancellor, Curtis said. Contact the desk editor at [email protected].

Anti-jihad ads are hate speech and erroneous
TO THE EDITOR: While I agree with Cody Weltons position that the town of Chapel Hill should allow political and religious messages to promote community discourse, I disagree with his casual dismissal of the anti-jihad ads as not constituting hate speech. I am also highly taken aback by his offensive conflation of the concept of jihad with suicide attacks. A commonly held misconception of the Islamic faith is that the concept of jihad equals violence or holy war. While I am neither a Muslim nor an expert on Islam, I have gained a basic understanding of the concept of jihad through conversations with Muslim friends and colleagues in the U.S. and the Middle East. While terrorist groups like al-Qaeda have co-opted the sacred concept of jihad as an excuse for the terrible acts of violence that they commit, the concept actually refers to an internal struggle that a Muslim experiences as they attempt to live their lives in accordance with Islam. The direct translation of the Arabic word jihad simply means struggle, and refers more to an inward struggle, much like the Christian concept of fighting against the pull of sins like gluttony, lust or greed. The anti-jihad ads do much more than initiate political discourse they desecrate one of the most sacred and personal aspects of Islam, and prevent a real discourse on the problem of fundamentalist violence from taking place. So yes, Chapel Hill should allow ads that promote discourse but not ads that relay offensive and erroneous material. Linden Wait 14 Political science Global studies

Cold: Ive been spending a lot more time with my family. Were building a new house and also an immunization to antibiotics, which has been great.

The bad news is, Ive seen your universitys health care plan, and so will you. (Audience laughs, hacks violently.) Memet: You know, Ive known you 25 years now, weve spent a lot of time together growing up, and I realized I have no idea where you came from. Tell me about your family. Cold: (tearing up) I never knew them Memet: Well, we have a little surprise for you today, because we have a special guest your parents. Cold: What? Memet: Ladies and gentleman, you know them from such hits as coming to the office with a fever and coughing without covering your mouth, say hello to my coworkers and classmates!

But that would be taking the road most traveled and I walk to my own, horribly disease-ridden beat. Memet: We have some callers. Go ahead, please. Caller 1: Yes, this is your professor. Listen, Im violently ill, and the doctors say its contagious, so I will be coming into class today.

Cold: Thats actually just your smok Memet: (Leaps across desk, covers Colds mouth.) Thats great, heh heh! Well, who knows if this is the illness speaking or just the entire bottle of Robitussin I drank, but I just want to say, I love you, man. Cold: You dont look so good.

Know your ballot

n the ballot today are races for offices that everyone is familiar with president, governor, Congressional offices. However, there are also several races for judgeships and for state administrative offices that are equally as important but often receive much less attention. Voters should not skip over these lesser known offices, but they should educate themselves on these races and make informed voting decisions.
EDiTOriAl
Voters should be informed about all races on the ballot.
Judges have as much, if not more, influence on the direction of policy through their court decisions. Personal philosophies dictate their decisions, and its important that voters understand the consequences those ideologies have on policy implementation. From an associate justice for the North Carolina State Supreme Court to superior court judges, theres no shortage of nonpartisan judgeships up for election. The individuals elected to these offices will have a considerable amount of influence on issues such as voter I.D. laws, campaign
finance, abortion and health care. Elections for state administrative offices, on the other hand, include partisan races for offices like State Auditor, Commissioner of Labor and, perhaps most importantly for students and education, Superintendent of Public Instruction. Being a responsible voter not only entails voting in an informed manner for some offices, but also voting in an informed manner for all offices. Be an informed and responsible voter and vote for every office on the ballot its your civic duty.
income taxes that make up two-thirds of our states revenue, and has said himself that hed like to make our state government and revenue sources more like those of South Carolina. He must not be from North Carolina to say a thing like that we as North Carolinians are proud to invest our precious incomes in our state and have no interest in resembling our neighbor to the south. McCrory would have our state increasingly resemble Charlotte, or worse yet South Carolina, and it is for this reason that I encourage voters to support the native son from Rutherfordton in this election. I would also point out that Dalton, like the vast majority of North Carolinas governors, attended the University of North Carolina, something his opponent cannot claim. Vote for tradition, vote for Walter Dalton. James Whitney 13 History
Vote for Colleen Daly to become Miss unC

TO THE EDITOR: Nearly half of all Americans know someone with an eating disorder. Apply that to this campus, and thats an astounding number of students. Its an astounding number of people who need to know how to make their voice heard. Tomorrow marks the start of voting in the Miss UNC and Mr. UNC elections for Homecoming. Why is it so important? Because theres a project on the line that needs your help, and a girl who seriously wants to help her fellow Tar Heels. Embody UNC is a training program that offers students know-how on peer-to-peer counseling for eating disorders. Those students you see running constantly and eating sparingly, those students who skip meals, those students who go to the gym for hours at a time? They need your help. And a vote for Colleen Daly is just that; its the help that this community needs. Colleen Daly has what it takes to get this project off the ground. She has the drive to get things done, the compassion for others, and a strong desire to see this project through. And she knows first hand that this is something this campus needs. Ive struggled with an eating disorder for years, and Colleen has showed me the support I needed to get through it. Give her the opportunity to help other students like me. Eating disorders are driven by a need to control. Lets overcome that need. Lets lift up the students who need help and tell them we support them. Lets show them that by voting today. It takes five seconds. Go to studentlife.unc.edu and vote for Colleen Daly. Shes the Miss UNC this campus needs. Taylor Hartley 13 English
Campaign nance stance

he Supreme Courts Citizens United decision, which allows for unlimited campaign spending by outside groups, has resulted in billions of dollars spent on races for federal offices and heightened public awareness of the issue. This provides an opportunity for candidates at all levels of government to take a stance on campaign finance and create a discourse about spending.
EDiTOriAl
Local leaders should stand against high election spending.
Citizens United doesnt affect spending in state and local races, but the issue of overwhelming spending transcends federal politics. Politicians in Chapel Hill should make their positions on publicly financed elections known. In order to receive public funds from Chapel Hills Voter-Owned Elections program, which is currently awaiting approval by the N.C. General Assembly, candidates must collect a certain amount of campaign funds through individual donors. This program has the potential to help those who have
struggled to raise the necessary funds be competitive candidates. This is a commendable way to combat the overarching influence of excessive spending. But with some candidates viability dependent on campaign funding, incumbents or seasoned fundraisers might oppose such a program to fend off potential opponents. Local candidates should make their views on campaign finance known to create a culture of accountability and accessibility in the face of expansive campaign spending.
Vote for tradition, and vote for Walter Dalton

TO THE EDITOR: Throughout the 20th century North Carolina fostered an activist state government that facilitated development through investments in infrastructure and education. North Carolina became the first state to adopt personal income taxes in 1921 and in 1925 enacted one of the nations first gas taxes. North Carolinas leaders had the foresight to invest in development, and we have reaped the benefits ever since. My choice for governor is clear: Walter Dalton is the successor to this states progressive heritage, following in the footsteps of C.B. Aycock, Terry Sanford, Jim Hunt and other strong leaders from our states past. Pat McCrory favors unprecedented cuts to the corporate and personal
Break the silence

Silence about sexual violence is not the Carolina Way.
cOlUmN
ou never think itll happen to you, but once it does, youre initiated into a community that, hauntingly, grows larger and larger every day. Your entire world is stolen from you and scattered into a story that you cannot piece together, but that you are forced to share and write with a pen that steals a bit of your courage every time sweat lets it slip from your grasp. You lose motivation to continue; finishing papers and exams becomes impossible. You cannot even finish an application, even if it means enduring the pain of watching opportunity slip out of reach. These are the silent scars. Project Dinahs annual SpeakOut! in the Pit, the night in which the stories of survivors of sexual and interpersonal violence will break the silence, is tonight at 7 p.m. Most stories go untold, even less of these crimes go reported but the reality of violence is undeniable, and survivors are all around you. We live in a society that
Andrea Pino
peer Educator, One Act & HAvEn Junior political science and English major from Miami, Fla. Email: [email protected]
claims to condemn sexual violence, but that does little to inhibit the spread of this silent epidemic. If there is a true condemnation of this issue, then why are college women four times more likely to be assaulted, and are then forced to fight to be believed? If this is a recognized epidemic, why do 60 percent of sexual assaults go unreported, and 15 out of 16 rapists walk free? Each survivors story has different roots, but we carry the same bruising: the bruising of not being believed, of shame, guilt and anger.
These invisible bruises inhibit us from even remembering the happiness of that Carolina acceptance letter. The reality of sexual violence transcends every policy, every politician and every day that another survivor is forced to wear the veil of a victim. I wore that veil once, even after I knew that my head was slammed, my throat dried up from the silent screams, my eyes teared and my body bled and witnessed the theft of my own will. And while today I know I am a survivor, I listen to the silenced stories of other survivors every day. Silence is not the Carolina Way. It is our duty to create a community that doesnt shudder at the stories of survivors or excuse violence as a chance to shame and ridicule those that have and will survive it. To every survivor that is still forced to remain silent: you are not alone. You are believed, and you are more than one experience. Speak out. speakoutunc.blogspot.com
