Tradition in transition
Watauga
resolution
questioned
By Sarah Brown
Assistant State & National Editor
Stefan Weathers didnt always
have a historically black college or
university on his radar.
Weathers, a Charlotte native
and the student body presi-
dent at North Carolina Central
University, knew he wanted to
attend a small university, and his
mother had graduated from an
HBCU but he wanted to keep
his options open.
But Weathers found his niche
at NCCU, which, at the time,
was the top public HBCU in the
country.
I felt that it was destined, he
said.
North Carolina has 11 four-year
public and private HBCUs the
most in the country but fewer
HBCU students in the state are
able to afford four-plus years of col-
lege, in part due to the latest flurry
of state funding cuts to the UNC
system and decreased financial aid.
Some students dont complete
their degrees and drop out, while
other prospective students cant
even start.
I know people my same age
who couldnt return to their uni-
versity ... because of that finan-
cial burden they had to incur,
Weathers said.
Johnny Taylor, president of
the Thurgood Marshall College
Fund, a group that represents the
countrys 47 public HBCUs, said
North Carolina has to commit to
educating an increasingly diverse
workforce.
More than ever, its important
that the state invest in the institu-
tions that have a mission to edu-
cate people of color, Taylor said.
We are really at a crisis in the
HBCU community.
rough spots
N.C. Sen. Gladys Robinson,
D-Guilford, a former UNC-
system Board of Governors mem-
ber, said HBCUs have had trouble
recruiting faculty and resources
at the same rate as other public
universities.
They started at a disadvantage
in terms of funding from the time
they became a part of the UNC
system, Robinson said.
UNC-system President Tom
Ross said at a news conference
last week that a persistently trou-
blesome economy continues to
make less funding and financial
aid available for all students
but HBCUs have seen the steepest
resulting enrollment declines.
Also affecting HBCUs are
changes in student admission and
progression standards at system
campuses, a move mandated by
the Board of Governors in 2011.
This is a transition time, Ross
said. Any time you go through
the kind of economy we have for
the last five years, youre going to
see some rough spots.
Jon Young, provost and vice
chancellor for academic affairs at
Fayetteville State University, said
this year, the school had to freeze
all faculty travel and postpone
hiring of tenure-track faculty.
Only one HBCU in the state,
North Carolina Agricultural &
Technical State University, saw an
increase in enrollment funding
for the 2013-14 academic year
and budget cuts hit all five of the
states public HBCUs and UNC-
Pembroke, a minority institution
created to serve Lumbee Indians.
And students are noticing.
Priscilla Azaglo, student
body president at Elizabeth City
State University, said the drop
in enrollment at her school has
sparked conversations and con-
cerns across campus.
ECSU enrolled about 2,400
students this fall down from
about 3,000 only three years ago.
The drop contributed to the uni-
versity losing nearly 10 percent of
its state funding in 2013-14.
Students have noticed that the
student body isnt as big as it used
to be, Azaglo said. Its been a
tough year.
Alex Sampson, an NCCU junior
and editor-in-chief of the school's
student newspaper, Campus Echo,
said shes heard many NCCU

HBCUs battle declining enrollment, look to move forward
By Andrew Craig

Voters in Watauga County are question-
ing which Eggers brother is responsible for
a resolution that moved Appalachian State
University polling places.
An article published in Sundays edition
of The Winston-Salem Journal has con-
firmed the suspicions of many Watauga
county leaders that county attorney Stacy
Four Eggers IV has been influencing
decisions made by the Watauga County
Board of Elections through his brother
Luke Eggers, chairman of the board.
The controversial Aug. 12 resolution
closed all ASU on-campus early voting
polling sites for the municipal elections
and moved them to remote locations with
little parking and limited access.
Both Luke and Four Eggers did not
respond to multiple requests for comment.
A representative at the Eggers Law Firm
said the brothers are not commenting.
Kathleen Campbell, the sole Democratic
member of the three-person Watauga
County Board of Elections, said the con-
troversy started Aug. 9 when Luke Eggers
was appointed as chairman of the board.
Campbell said Luke Eggers called for a
board meeting without giving the required
48-hour public notice and presented the
resolution, demanding that it be put to
an immediate vote before board members
had the opportunity to read it.
Lukes a substitute teacher, and there
were a lot of legal-sounding language
in it, she said. He just didnt have the
know-how to write that, and it wasnt until
(Winston-Salem Journal reporter) Bert
Gutierrez looked at the metadata and dis-
covered the digital fingerprint that we had
proof he didnt.
For Gerry Cohen, special legal counsel to
the N.C. General Assembly, the issue is not
that Four Eggers was writing resolutions
for the board, but that he was exclusively
doing it for one member of the board.
As county attorney, its part of Fours
job to write things for groups like the
Board of Elections, Cohen said. Its the
fact that he had refused to help Kathleen
Campbell that presents a problem and
raises some ethical issues.
Campbell said she asked Four Eggers to
help write some of her resolutions, but he
wouldnt.
Four Eggers was originally nominated
to the county board but was told by the

Unemployment cuts strain nonprots
By Eric Garcia
Senior Writer
This summer, unemployed
North Carolinians lost nearly $200
in weekly state unemployment ben-
efits, on top of seeing their federal
emergency benefits completely
disappear.
Theyre now turning to state
nonprofits some of which are
struggling to handle the surge.
In an effort to pay back federal
unemployment insurance debt,
North Carolina cut state unemploy-
ment insurance compensation from
$535 per week to $350 per week,
which went into effect July 1.
Federal law prohibited states
receiving emergency unemploy-
ment compensation benefits
after 26 weeks of unemployment
from cutting unemployment insur-
ance. As a result, the federal gov-
ernment dropped North Carolina
from the program.
This affected 170,000 unem-
ployed North Carolinians and lost
the state $780 million in federal
funds.
North Carolina said to heck
with that, were doing it anyway, so
the federal government was forced
to cut emergency benefits as well,
said Rob Schofield, policy director
for the left-leaning advocacy orga-
nization N.C. Policy Watch.
But state nonprofits have been
bracing for the effects of the cuts,
said David Heinen, director of pub-
lic policy and advocacy for the N.C.
Center for Nonprofits.
Nonprofits were preparing,
knowing after July 1 that more
people were going to be coming for
more services, Heinen said.
Kristin Lavergne, community
services director for the Inter-
Faith Council, an organization
that assists low-income people in
Chapel Hill and Carrboro, said
the council has a process to help
people who are beginning to lose
benefits.
In that sense, we felt we already
had that process set up, Lavergne
said.
She also said that while there has
not been a flood of people in need
of the councils services, a larger
variety of people is using them
including more professional work-
ers.
We saw someone working at
(UNC) and had been laid off, and
he was getting ready to run out (of
benefits), and he was worried about
what would happen, she said.
Ben Money, president and CEO
of the North Carolina Community
Health Center Association, said
more people are using community
health centers as more people lose
benefits.
The number of uninsured contin-
ues to rise by folks not having access
to extended unemployment benefits,
Money said. It puts people in a
lower financial category so they are
available for more discounts.
Brian Toomey, CEO of Piedmont
Health, said the cuts have made it
more difficult to administer care
efficiently.
We get more and more calls by
people in our Carrboro location
we have not been able to see people
as quickly, he said.
Toomey also said he thinks peo-
ple might be willing to seek better

They might feel able to see us
sooner because they have some cov-
erage, he said.
Money said he hopes that in the
short session in May, the N.C. General
Assembly will rethink the cuts.
We hope the General Assembly
will reconsider the decisions they
made in the last session and look
at some of the human cost that has
been inflicted on people suffering
from a lagging economy, he said.

more people are seeking
help from service groups
following benefit cuts.
Campus Y
to give out
$10,000
By Mia Madduri
Staff Writer
In a time of heavy cuts to UNCs
budget, many student groups have
seen their budgets trimmed as well.
However, clubs aiming to promote
social justice could get financial help
from the Campus Ys YFund, which
received a $10,000 grant last spring
that campus groups can benefit from.
The YFund is a source of seed
money for innovative social jus-
tice initiatives on campus that is
run by students in the Campus Y
Development Committee. While in
prior years YFund money was avail-
able only to organizations operating
out of the Campus Y, money from the
$10,000 grant will be made available
to any campus social justice group.
Were there with them through-
out the steps of the project, said
Madhu Vulimiri, co-director of the
YFunds Development Committee.
Its cool to see the project go from
an idea to fleshed out and detailed.
Established two years ago, the
YFund typically ran on $6,000 avail-
able exclusively to Campus Y com-
mittees. Last March, UNCs Parents
the Carolina parents
Council grant will fund
UnC social justice groups.

D
ude, Im so drunk right now. Imagine if people were to get
inebriated just by eating food, most of us would be drunk
all of the time and probably not alive. Thats literally the
case for one Texas man who came into the emergency room
completely hammered and swore he didnt have anything to drink, even
though he had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.37 percent.
Doctors put his word to the test by isolating him in a hospital room for
24 hours. Afterwards, they found he had a blood alcohol concentration
of 0.12 percent even though he hadnt consumed alcohol. Apparently,
his stomach has a buildup of excess yeast, so whenever he eats carbohy-
drates, his body converts the sugars into alcohol. Cheers to that.

Womens soccer drops two in a row
By Kevin Phinney
Staff Writer
For the second game in a row, the
scoreboard shouted a zero at the No.
5 North Carolina womens soccer
team from high above the pitch.
This time, UNC matched up
against No. 3 Florida State, and
again the vaunted attack had been
held scoreless by an ACC foe.
Despite a constant flurry of shots
from North Carolina, FSU kept the
Tar Heels off the scoreboard and
held on for a 1-0 win.
FSU put us under a lot of pres-
sure, coach Anson Dorrance said.
But we were the masters of our own
fate tonight. We shouldve had an
opportunity to put away at least two
or three (goals).
FSU junior Jamia Fields scored
the lone goal of the game in the
82nd minute, as she dodged her
defender senior Megan Brigman
and beat sophomore goalie Bryane
Heaberlin in the far corner.
Dorrances Tar Heels havent lost
two games in a row since 2011 when
they lost three straight games. That
three-game skid also included a loss
to Florida State.
Despite a spirited attack in the
final seven minutes, UNC failed to
find the equalizer before the final
buzzer. The win for Florida State
was their fifth against UNC, the
second-most of any team in the
country.
During one of those late attacks
on goal, UNC freshman Emily
Bruder injured her shoulder in a
fall after being challenged by a FSU
defender. She left the game with
what a team spokesman called a
sore shoulder. She will likely be able
to play in Sundays game at Miami.
It was a tale of two halves for
UNCs leading goal scorer senior
Crystal Dunn. Dunn didnt take a
single shot in the first half, instead
spending more time trying to find
her teammates. In the second half
she tried to beat her defender more
in one-on-one soccer. But neither
strategy could break through.
Their back line was pretty solid,
Dunn said, As soon as we were
looking to attack it seemed like
there were eight players back there
defending.
Dorrance said that UNC was in a
better position to get Dunn the ball
in the second half due to the fatigue
of the Seminole defense.
Senior forward Kealia Ohai was a
different story. Ohai took nine shots
in the game, constantly attacking
the FSU defense to no avail.
Out of nine shots Ive got to fin-
ish one of them, Ohai said. So mov-
ing forward I need more composure
and better placement.

The new Orange County Schools
superintendent will start her position on
Tuesday, Oct. 1 after leaving her job as
the current superintendent of McDowell
County Schools.
The county school
board announced Gerri
Martin as the new
superintendent in a
press release on Sept. 12.
She was an excel-
lent candidate, Donna
Coffey, president of the
Orange County School
Board, said.
Coffey said Martin
boasts many unique
credentials, setting her
application apart from
nearly 30 others, which
poured in from 11 states.
Lawrence Sanders, a member of the
school board, said those qualifications,
coupled with 27 years of experience, made
her the best fit for the position, despite the
large quantity of applicants.
The press release said Martin has held
an array of positions, such as high school
teacher, college professor, assistant princi-
pal and principal. She became the superin-
tendent in McDowell County in 2012.
She started as a teacher and had that
experience in the classroom, Sanders said.
He said her experience as a teacher was
especially important to the board members
when selecting a viable candidate. Being
bilingual also worked in her favor, due to
Orange Countys rising Latino population,
Sanders said.
The key thing was to make sure we
heard from the community those in the
school system and the taxpayers to make
sure they had the opportunity to provide
their input in the process, Sanders said.
When the former superintendent,
Patrick Rhodes, announced his plans
for retirement this year, Sanders said
the school district joined with the North
Carolina School Boards Association to seek
help in filling the position.
Members of the community, parents and
staff were asked to fill out a survey about
what they felt was important in their public
schools and what improvements could be
made, Coffey said. The survey gave com-
munity members a chance to weigh in on a
topic that highly affected them.
Coffey said she was optimistic about the
future of Orange Countys public schools
and their pursuit of academic achievement.
I believe that she will carry us forward
in our educational excellence, Coffey said.

Scholars reect on Moral Monday movement
By Sarah Chaney
Staff Writer
Since Moral Monday dem-
onstrations began this summer,
more than 900 people have been
arrested at the Raleigh protests
including some UNC professors.
Tonight students will have the
opportunity to hear from UNC and
Duke University professors about
their experiences with the Moral
Mondays protests against North
Carolinas Republican-controlled
government this summer.
The event will be held at
5:30 p.m. in the FedEx Global
Education Center.
All these major national news
outlets are talking about what our
state legislatures are doing, so
we thought wed provide the first
major scholarly interpretation
of Moral Mondays, said panelist
Nancy MacLean, a history and
public policy professor at Duke.
Sometimes you can read about
these things in the paper, but its
hard to distinguish whats really
there, she said.
More than half of the panelists
are members of Scholars for North
Carolinas Future, an organization
committed to fostering discussions
about the states political climate.
Other panelists were invited
because of their active participa-
tion in the heated protests.
Dr. Charles van der Horst of
the UNC School of Medicine said
he was arrested at Moral Monday
in May, charged with three misde-
meanors: the illegal gathering of
three or more people, the failure
to leave the building and singing
and waving placards.
He said he strongly opposed
the governments decision not
to extend Medicaid under the
Affordable Care Act a change
he said cut funding for AIDS drug
assistance programs.
Many of the legislative chang-
es will kill my patients, van der
Horst said. That cuts off funding
for 1,800 people.
UNC sociology professor
Kenneth Andrews, who attended
one Moral Monday event in the
spring, plans to focus on how the
events fall within the context of
social movements and protests.
The main question that I look
at is how citizens groups and pro-
tests influence politics, he said.
Panelist and Duke theology pro-
fessor Willie Jennings said the level
of civil disobedience this summer
was in many ways unprecedented.
Moral Mondays is unique in the
number of people, the consistency,
the growth and the maintaining of
the energy, Jennings said.
Bruce Orenstein, a coordinator
of the event at Dukes Center for
Documentary Studies, said the goal
of tonights event is to promote a
deep discussion while increasing
awareness of the social movement.
Over last spring and summer,
a lot of people were out of town,
but now theyre back and need to
be informed, he said.

Tender Naplam will be playing in Lindas Downbar on Franklin Street tonight through Sunday.
Actors, director say Lindas bar reflects plays mood
By Rebecca Pollack
Staff Writer
Instead of performing at the usual Center
for Dramatic Art, LAB! Theatres next show,
Tender Napalm, will be held at Lindas
Downbar on Franklin Street.
Student director Nathaniel Claridad, a
third-year graduate student, said this loca-
tion fits the style of the show. The play uses
the concept of found spaces, in which an
atypical performance space is used for a
show.
We came up with the idea of Lindas
Downbar because of the nature of the play
its very gritty, raw, Claridad said.
Actor Pat McHugh, a third-year graduate
student who plays the character Man, said
the plays plot is complex.
Its about two people in a dysfunctional
relationship that are sort of coming to
terms with it in their own way, which is
kind of fantastical and brutal, McHugh
said. It hits many notes that are weird and
dark and sexy and twisted and funny and
otherworldly.
For the director and actors, Lindas mir-
rored the feel of the play.
Whats especially disorienting is that the
lights are on the audience as much as theyre
on the actors, McHugh said.
Were going to be able to see everybody in
the audience and hopefully not acknowledge
them.
Claridad said he wanted to make this more
than just a play at a bar.
I wanted to use the entire space, he said.
Thats why theyre everywhere. You never
know where theyre going to be tables, bar,
the stage.
Nicola Vann, a senior dramatic art major
who plays the character Woman, said the
cast was able to adjust to the unique loca-
tion.
We pull a lot of ideas and inspiration from
the space around us, Vann said. I know that
LAB! is willing to take on risky pieces, and
were looking to do things in more unusual
spaces.
McHugh also mentioned that the acoustics
were a problem because the sound doesnt
carry from one side of the room to the other
as easily as it does in a theater, but the cast
found ways to make the space work.
Its a chance to see up close and personal
actors that are really throwing themselves
into a complex piece, he said.
Its a unique experience, not something
youre going to find anywhere around Chapel
Hill. So the fact that its free, why not show
up?
Claridad said that immersive theater is
not being done in the area, but it is a trend in
New York City.
Vann was the one who originally sub-
mitted the play to LAB! Theatre to be per-
formed.
She saw it in Ireland and said it was a piece
she wanted to perform, so she asked Claridad
to direct it.
Vann also said she appreciates the shows
uniqueness.
Its a hard show to explain, she said.
And you cant really tell people what to
expect.
Claridad said he was up for the challenge
the play presented to him.
It looked difficult, so I said yes, he said.
Theyre never sure where they are, whether
theyre in the real world or not.
Vann then asked him if he knew anyone
who could play the other character in the
show, and Claridad suggested McHugh.
I gave him the script because it seemed

The lyrics here have almost nothing to
do with fall, but the real highlight of this
track is Doug Martschs gentle and breezy
guitar work. The way he makes that
electric guitar sound float evokes leaves,
fresh off the tree, slowly drifting in the
wind. When Martsch hits the whammy
bar during the songs guitar coda, the
lilting tone that results is perfectly suited
for a climate of brisk, cool fall air. It also
doesnt hurt that the heart-shattering lyr-
ics are a great prescription for any bouts
of autumn melancholy. James Butler
Besides the obvious title and lyrics
like Ill be sad when the leaves fall /
and Ill be sad when they grow back /
I think of you when the leaves change
/ and I remember what it is I lack, the
song calls into question the nature
of the passage of time. For whatever
reason, the tracks 80s-esque sound
also contributes to a cool feeling of
autumns arrival. Fall can be a time for
self-reflection and new beginnings,
and this particular song manages to
encapsulate all these feelings of peace-
ful thought. Tess Boyle
When listening to this song, its hard
not to immediately drop what youre
doing and spend the day basking in
autumns perfect weather. With its crisp
vocals and wonderfully chilly lyrics,
this song embodies all the best things
about the season. Not to mention the
last minute is so pretty that itll warm
you up better than any fall-themed latte.
Half catchy, half indie-cool, this song is a
recommended listen for napping in the
quad. Natalie Carney
In F. Scott Fitzgeralds The Great
Gatsby, Jordan Baker tells Daisy
Buchanan, Life starts all over again when
it gets crisp in the fall. Tylers masterful
fingerpicking transports you to a differ-
ent place essentially making you start
over in a new headspace and setting
you free from stress. The World Set Free
gently sighs like a breeze through dry
trees. Clocking in at just over 10 minutes
long, the track ambles along enough to
make it feel like a physical journey all its
own. Allison Hussey
This powerful ballad puts into words
everyones dependency on the feeling
autumn creates when colorful leaves fall to
the ground and the tender, cool breezes
pass through and give relief after too hot
of a summer. Clares haunting voice, the
steady, low drum beat and the echoing
piano culminate to make the song light
during the verse and heavy during the cho-
rus. Despite all the stress the fall semester
brings, this song serves as a nice reminder
as to how calming this beautiful campus
can be. Amanda Hayes
Wolves, woods and a woman: in the
title track from its 2010 album, Blitzen
Trapper tells a tale of personal growth
disguised in lyrics about a man whose
flesh had turned to fur.
The songs steady rhythm hits like a
heartbeat steady and thick with
the strums of an acoustic guitar carrying
the melody.The nature noises of bugs,
birds and of course, wolf howls scattered
throughout the tune enhance an already
earthy vibe thats perfect for incoming
crunchy weather. Allison Hussey
This meandering jaunt recalls a mel-
low walk home from class amongst a
bevy of fallen leaves. Like the slight chill
that sets in come the end of September,
an airy organ gently shivers above vocal-
ist Ira Kaplans confessional melody.
Instead of mourning summers
end, this pleasant tune welcomes the
changing weather with a warm, tender
embrace. Through a series of heartwarm-
ing lyrics and cordial bass runs, Yo La
Tengo affectionately declares fall to be
the perfect season for cozying up with a
loved one. Chris Powers
You and I, riding high / In a landfill
building castles / We get around while
were alive.This track is an adrenaline-
pumping song with an appreciation for the
present. With its fast-paced electric guitar
riffs to introduce the song, its catchy and
poppy chorus throughout and its low bass
to finish off, this song provides all the nec-
essary ingredients to dance and sing along
to. Its theme even reminds the listener of
the pointlessness of stressing for the past
and future, while simultaneously providing
the perfect remedy to survive this school
season. Lily Escobar
No proper fall playlist is complete
without an emotive, introspective folk
song and this Okkervil River track fits
the bill perfectly. A heartbreaking tale of
unrequited love, the tune is embellished
by wandering horns and a softly-plucked
mandolin. With lyrics like You love a
stone, because its dark, and its old/ And
if it could start being alive youd stop liv-
ing alone,A Stone is a somber reminder
that though the leaves are falling and the
temperature is dropping, some things
never seem to change. Chris Powers
And when I said that I love you honey
/ I knew that you would break my heart /
But why? Leaves are changing, seasons
are changing and feelings are changing.
Heartbreaker pairs lo-fi with surf rock to
deliver a cool and mellowed-out groove.
Its upbeat enough to dance to, yet somber
enough to sit and experience in solidar-
ity. Combined with their signature throaty
vocals and love-struck lyrics, Heartbreaker
feels like a tunnel into their heart. The
arrangements provide an eerie ballad to
bawl your eyes out at 3 a.m. Lily Escobar

Collaborative spirit marks Loamlands
By Chris Powers
Assistant Diversions Editor
The old adage, Every
new beginning comes from
some other beginnings end,
carries a lot of weight in the
musical realm. Just ask Kym
Register and Will Hackney,
local stalwarts behind the
new Durham folk rock project
Loamlands.
Following the dissolu-
tion of their previous
band, the country-tinged
Midtown Dickens, Register
and Hackney collaborated
on a crop of songs that
would eventually become
Loamlands debut EP, Some
Kind Of Light. The EP is set
to be released Tuesday on
Trekky Records, a Chapel
Hill-based label that Hackney
co-founded.
At sort of the end of
Midtown when we all were
going different directions, I
just remember calling Will up
and being like, Hey, I really
still like playing music with
you, do you want to keep
doing that? And he was like,
Yeah, cool, see you in like a
month, Register said.
At the heart of the duos
pensive folk is an enduring
musical dialogue between
Register and Hackney, some-
thing Register attributes to
their prior experience per-
forming together.
Being in a band for so
long together we were
already in a band for four
years together we sort of
know each other musically
especially, Register said. I
mean in every way, really. But
musically especially, and we
dth/ElizabEth MEndoza
Loamlands plays its release show tomorrow night at the Pinhook.
know how to interact and cre-
ate and are past the first date.
Hackney said his and
Registers time in Midtown
Dickens provided the duo
with a strong foundation for
Loamlands.
We know how to be in a
band now, Hackney said.
Some Kind Of Light, which
features Megafauns Brad
Cook and Lost in the Trees
Kyle Keegan, was recorded
in the brief window of three
days with producer Scott
Solter. Hackney said the short
LoamLands Live
Time: 9 p.m. tomorrow
Location: The Pinhook, 117
W. Main St., Durham
Info: thepinhook.com, trek-
kyrecords.com
studio time strongly influ-
enced the music.
I think that energy gave
real life to the recordings
because the takes are kind
of desperate in a good way,
Hackney said.
Martin Anderson, who
co-founded Trekky Records
with Hackney, attributed
the bands vitality to the live
recording of the EP.
The most gripping thing
about the recording to me
is that it feels like a session,
Anderson said. Everything
was recorded live and there is
a real electric feel you can
feel it in the room.
Bound by a reverential
Southern spirit, Register said
Some Kind of Light repre-
sents the most concentrated
release to arise from her and
Hackneys collaboration.
I love how I played music
in the past and who I played
music with in the past, but at
this point were sort of hon-
ing in a lot more, Register
said.
I dont see it getting any
less fun to play this kind of
music. Its so energetic and so
kinetic.

Insidious: Chapter 2
Still on a high from the
successes of The Conjuring
and Insidious, direc-
tor James Wan released
Insidious: Chapter 2, a
sequel that couldnt quite
match up with its predeces-
sor. Despite the effective cast
that adds a creep factor, the
film is sluggish and loaded
with cliche scare tactics.
The plot picks up with
the Lambert family together
again after son Dalton was
rescued from a demon in the
first movie. But Josh (Patrick
Wilson), the father, isnt him-
self, and it is soon discovered
that a spirit has taken over his
body. Typical scare attempts
follow, including a piano play-
ing by itself, a toy turning on
MOVIESHORTS
and slamming doors.
After exhausting the go-to
scares, the story actually starts
to develop. Finally, the audi-
ence gets some insight into
the paranormal realm and the
spirits causing the chaos with
the help of the deceased psy-
chic from the first movie, Elise.
The Insidious sequels
strength is its Criminal
Minds-like dive into the
backstory and psyche of
Parker Crane, a mass mur-
derer and possessor of Joshs
body. Though intriguing, the
journey into Cranes psyche is
too brief and undeveloped to
add much substance.
Specs and Tucker, Elises
colleagues, add the much-
needed action and comic
relief. Though the action is
regrettably limited, the two
mens comedy keeps viewers
attention during their scenes.
At the films conclusion,
Wan clearly indicates that the
story isnt over yet and there
will be a third Insidious,
which will hopefully follow
more closely in the footsteps
of the original.
Overall, Insidious:
Chapter 2 has some interest-
ing plot developments and a
couple of scary moments, but
it is not nightmare-inducing
and hardly encourages view-
ers to stay tuned for act three.
Amanda Hayes
The Family
When it comes to mob-
sters, its all about family.
Mob families specialize in
violence, epic showdowns and
big hair with big secrets.
They dont do normal,
which is the main problem
with Luc Bessons action-
comedy The Family. Mob
families are anything but nor-
mal, so why try to make them
something theyre not?
The film follows mobster
Giovanni Manzoni (Robert De
Niro, of course) and his family
as they relocate to live a nor-
mal life under the Witness
Protection Program after he
snitched on his fellow kingpins.
The family itself, known as
the Blakes, includes his tough
wife Maggie (Michelle Pfeiffer)
and his teenage children,
daughter Belle (Dianna Agron)
and son Warren (John DLeo).
Despite a strong family
dynamic, the plot is dead
on arrival. The focus on the
Manzonis attempts at being
a typical family like deal-
ing with faulty plumbing is
boring.
Surprisingly, its De Niro
who leads the boring brigade.
Giovanni is such a parody of
De Niros finer mob charac-
ters that you wonder when
he is going to break into Vito
Corleone or Jimmy Conway.
The action doesnt pick up
until the last 30 minutes dive
into total guns-blazing enter-
tainment. But this shift is so
abrupt that you wonder if its
the same film. Despite the
inconsistent tone, the energy
of the Manzoni supporting
cast is the only thing keeping
The Family bearable.

Loamlands
Some Kind of Light
Folk rock
Listening to Loamlands
singer Kym Register is like
playing trivia. I hear hints of
voices Ive come to know very
well and want to place whom
I'm thinking of.
With Loamlands debut EP,
Some Kind of Light, this sen-
sation is commonplace. On the
first track, Another Reason,
between the galloping acoustic
rhythm guitar, thumping per-
cussion and elongated swell-
ing vocals, I hear definite hints
of Rusted Roots Send Me on
My Way. On the second song,
Scottsboro, Registers voice
evokes a Dylan-esque wheeze.
Also on the album are flitting
glimpses of later Lou Reed
and Alanis Morissette, among
muddled others.
But its on the third track,
Folk Hero, that the band
breaks these comparative
chains and really starts to
shine. A moody, slow-jam
with plenty of reverb and a
well-recorded, clean electric
lead, the song is when one
first starts to get a feel for the
bands own sound. Its impres-
sive, but the lyrics espouse a
cliched, repetitive feel.
Overall, the record shows
promise for the young band
but doesnt quite cast it
beyond the skilled bevy of
musicians in the Triangle. Its
going to take more personal-
ized exploration of the bands
own sound for Loamlands
to take deeper root in the
Triangles musical soil.
Bo McMillan
Schooner
Neighborhood Veins
Rock
Durham-based rock group
Schooner is psychedelic, soul-
ful and downright dreamy.
With its newest release
Neighborhood Veins the group
plays its cool with a nearly
flawless delivery.
Lead single It Wont
Matter is a folk-rock ballad
that bursts out of an eerie
whistle into an enjoyable com-
bination of fuzzy guitars and
multi-layered harmonies. This
song is an upbeat dance-wor-
thy track that focuses on lead
singer Reid Johnsons pensive
and expressive lyrics.
Floodlights and Ghosts,
slows things down quite a bit
as a deliberate electric jam
focusing on romantic back
beats and enhancing horns.
The albums fifth track Still
in Love is a captivating hit
that brings to life the 50s era
doo-wop blues with minimal-
ist guitar, unhurried beats
and a Temptations-like mens
choir. This tune shows the
bands ability to drift across
genres while remaining faith-
ful to its overarching, down-
hearted tone.
The final song,
Neighborhood Veins, pulls
the album to a disorienting
close, forcing the listener to
question its purpose while still
smiling at the oddity.
This collection of mindful
songs proves that bands can
still succeed without tying
themselves down to a specific
sound.

State Board of Elections that
his job as county attorney
posed a conflict of interest,
Cohen said.
Theres nothing wrong
with having a family heavily
involved in local politics, he
said. But it does look a little
strange when Fours brother,
Luke, gets the position.
Now, Campbell said she will
appeal to the State Board to
return polling sites to campus.
Its obvious that (the
Eggers are) trying to keep stu-
dents from voting, Campbell
said. I think were all just sur-
prised at how blatant it is.

Council presented the Campus
Y with the grant.
In order to receive funding,
groups must fill out a written
application, make a pitch for
their project and create a way
to evaluate their progress.
The YFund gives the proj-
ect half the money to start
with, and the rest of the
money is dispersed when the
group has reached its goal.
Long-term projects that
deal with social justice in
any way such as minor-
ity empowerment or gender
equality are eligible for a
grant from the program.
A past project that has
benefited from this grant
is a tutoring program
called Bringing Back
Fridays, headed by UNCs
Helping Youth by Providing
Enrichment.
Three years ago, budget cuts
shut down two of four fam-
ily resource centers operated
in Orange County by service
group Chapel Hill Training-
Outreach Project. The loss
of funds also ended tutoring
on Fridays for elementary
school students at the Dobbins
Hills and South Estes Family
Resource Centers.
HYPE has used the money
to bring back Friday tutor-
ing at the centers and took a
greater role in organizing Fun
Fridays after-school pro-
grams. The club leads science
experiments, arts and crafts or
activities dealing with nutri-
tion and healthy eating.
Getting the YFund money
helped us get enrichment
materials and supplies in order
to make the Fun Fridays more
educational and effective, said
Nariman Heikal, co-chair-
woman of HYPE.
Another group that has
used the YFund to jump-start
its project is Students United
for Immigrant Equality. The
club hosted an Immigration
Awareness Week last spring
using money from the fund.
Maria Pia Rodriguez, co-
chairwoman of SUIE, said she
was grateful for the opportuni-
ties the YFund made possible
for her organization, and that
she was excited for the money
to be available to organiza-
tions outside the Y.
The YFund wants to make
sure that they dont reach
out to just one group, but to
everyone, she said.
The YFunds deadlines for
applications this semester are
Sept. 19, Oct. 17 and Nov. 7.

students complain about liv-
ing conditions in the dorms
and call for upgrades to the
103-year-old campus.
But a 5.5-percent overall
cut to the schools budget has
left little extra money for con-
struction projects, she said.
I think (the buildings
condition) really impacts pro-
spective students idea of how
the campus is, she said.
Looking long term
Though HBCUs are not the
only schools struggling with
financial woes, Taylor said
campuses need to implement
change for future prosperity
and they need to act quickly.
You simply cant cut your
way to profitability, Taylor
said. Its a one-trick pony,
but its not sustainable for the
long-term.
Both private and public
HBCUs have to start tapping
HBCUs
from page 1
YFUND
from page 1
WATAUGA
from page 1
more diligently into their
alumni bases for funding,
which the schools have not
done historically, he said.
Taylor added that HBCUs
need to broaden their appeal
beyond the African-American
population, which he said
often makes up between
80 and 90 percent of each
schools student body.
Ross said in the news
conference that system lead-
ers are emphasizing how the
schools can play bigger roles
in strengthening their regions
economy and workforce
through particular areas of
academic expertise.
At last weeks Board of
Governors meeting, one board
member brought up possible
campus consolidation within
the UNC system, citing ECSUs
current budget trauma. Ross
said consolidation is not a pri-
ority for the near future.
But ECSU is in need of rapid
internal reform, Taylor said.
I think (system leaders)
should give the institution an
opportunity to turn around in
a finite and reasonable period
of time longer than six
months, he said.
If they cannot figure
it out, then its only fair to
North Carolina that these
resources be redistributed.

HBCUs still valuable
Meanwhile, students
at North Carolinas public
HBCUs are determined to
keep campus life thriving.
Azaglo said a greater num-
ber of student activities at
ECSU are helping to keep the
university vibrant, including
several spoken-word groups.
And Jalynn Jones, student
body president at Fayetteville
State, said the student body
is becoming more inclusive
by increasing outreach to the
LGBT community on campus.
There has been national
debate on whether minority
institutions are as necessary in
the 21st century but Azaglo
said she strongly disagrees.
It doesnt matter if its a
minority school its the
education that is the most
important part, she said.
Taylor said HBCUs con-
tinue to produce most of the
African-American leaders,
professors and STEM profes-
sionals nationwide.
If you take a school like
N.C. A&T, where 50 percent
of the countrys undergradu-
ate black engineers come to
one school, it would seriously
impact our workforce diver-
sity initiative if that school
didnt exist, he said.
N.C. A&T was just ranked
the top public HBCU in
the country by U.S. News &
World Report.
HBCUs only represent 3
percent of four-year universi-
ties but produce about a
fifth of African-American col-
lege graduates.
Sampson said a major
impact of HBCUs is the confi-
dence it gives to some minority
students, like her, who felt out
of place in high school.
Growing up, there werent
a lot of people that looked
like me, to put it bluntly,
Sampson said.
I see females here com-
fortable with their hair, their
curves, their clothes and
thats really made me confi-
dent as a black female.

Opinion Thursday, September 19, 2013 The Daily Tar Heel 8
Established 1893, 120 years of editorial freedom
QUOTE OF THE DAY
FEATUrED OnlinE rEADEr cOmmEnT
Hazing headline sent
the wrong message
TO THE EDITOR:
I am again disappointed
by The Daily Tar Heels lack
of neutrality on the sensi-
tive issue of the death of
David Shannon.
Of all the headlines
The Daily Tar Heel could
have chosen for the article
published Sept. 18, the
staff chose to pick one that
anchors the article to lead
readers to believe that Chi
Phi hazed David to death.
Why not, Police Chief
Horton provides update
on first-years death? Or
Cause of first-years death
still unclear?
I believe that any male
in the Greek community, or
anyone that knew him, can
attest to Davids outstand-
ing character. I also believe
that those familiar with the
Chi Phi fraternity can attest
that it is a fraternity of men
who share Davids strong
sense of character, and that
he chose Chi Phi with good
reason.
The Shannon family and
the Greek community have
experienced enough pain.
How about ending public
accusations that the organi-
zation that welcomed David
the most his first semester
killed him? Until there is
definitive evidence of such
accusations, refrain from
publishing such misleading
headlines.
Instead, the Shannon
family and Chi Phi need
the support of the entire
Carolina family, affiliated
or not.

Meatless Mondays
benefit everyone
TO THE EDITOR:
President Clinton, once
known for his love of fast
food, has been making
headlines for his recent
dietary change. Hes
swapped the Big Macs,
chicken nuggets and fried
shrimp for veggie burgers,
beans and fresh fruits and
vegetables.
After years of battling
heart problems even
undergoing quadruple
bypass surgery Clinton
took his doctors advice to
reduce his meat consump-
tion and increase his intake
of plant-based foods. He
reports that the results
have been tremendous:
losing 24 pounds, feeling
more energetic and seeing
a welcome drop in choles-
terol levels.
President Clinton isnt
the only one turning over
a new leaf; from Usher
to Oprah Winfrey, Ellen
DeGeneres and Kristen
Bell, people everywhere are
eating less meat. Even Mike
Tyson, once known for bit-
ing off a human ear, is now
limiting his ear consump-
tion to those of the corn
variety.
The movement toward
more plant-based meals is
also taking root on college
campuses, with more than
200 universities, including

Call me
crazy,
but then
what?
S
o we as a society see
someone do something
crazy, right? Crazy here
meaning demonstrably irra-
tional something we cant
imagine ourselves doing, be it
climbing a water tower, whis-
pering madly to oneself about
gophers, wearing clashing
plaids or mass murder.
Well, thats insane, we say
to ourselves. Totally sense-
less. We call it crazy, and
thats descriptive. It describes
how alien the action is to us.
Then we look at the par-
ticular perpetrator of this
act, and as with the act, we
attempt to understand them
not so much a conscious
thing, but more of an auto-
matic reaction where our
brain sees something new
and instinctively tries to wrap
itself around it like white
blood cells digesting a bacte-
rial infection.
Failing to understand this
person, we call him or her
crazy. This is also descriptive
were noting that this par-
ticular person is in the habit
of doing things we find to be
eccentric, unnerving or horri-
fying in a conventional, logical
or moral sense.
Heres where it gets tricky.
Having bracketed off the actor
and actions as loony, our
brain can simply stop trying
to understand them. And then
suddenly, crazy becomes
more than descriptive. Now its
an explanation.
Now the crazy of the per-
son is the reason and the ori-
gin of the crazy actions that
weve been failing to compre-
hend. Whatd they do? Oh my
God, thats insane. Whyd they
do it? Oh my God, its because
theyre insane case closed,
thats all there is to it.
This is misleading for a
number of reasons. Also dan-
gerous.
Up until now weve been
using the word only to diag-
nose people and actions in
terms of our particular view
of the world. But this crazy
can be easily conflated with
the crazy that implies a pro-
fessional medical diagnosis,
which brings with it a greater
sense of legitimacy.
But we might as well
confuse the anecdotal and
the medical crazies for now,
because theyre both a part of
the same big fallacy.
Were assuming this irra-
tional person is a closed sys-
tem a little line segment of
insanity unto itself that shares
absolutely no points with any
other ray, line or quadrilateral
of earthly existence or human-
ity.
We cant even be parallel
to the crazy line, because that
would imply some sort of com-
mon trajectory, which is ridic-
ulous because theyre crazy and
I dont know why.
And equipping ourselves
with fancy medical terminol-
ogy that attempts to do more
than describe the crazy only
perpetuates this problem. Oh,
they have a disease chemi-
cals in their brain made them
do it.
But chemicals in our brain
are responsible for everything
we do. Every time I get angry
you could simply ignore any of
the possible causes of my anger
and blame the chemicals in my
brain and youd be right!
But youd be missing some-
thing. And itd probably just
make me angrier.

UNC, leading the charge
with Meatless Monday
campaigns in their dining
halls.
There has never been
a more exciting time to
expand our dining hori-
zons. Skipping meat one
day a week is not a sacrifice
but an adventure.
And this is reflected
in the choices students
are making. According
to a study conducted by
Technomic, more than 20
percent of college students
are reducing their meat
consumption, and for good
reasons.
One of those reasons is
concern for the nine billion
chickens, pigs and other
animals raised for food each
year, most of whom suffer
in factory farms.
For example, mother pigs
in the pork industry are
typically confined in tiny
crates barely larger than
their own bodies for virtual-
ly their entire lives. Unable
to even turn around, these
sensitive, intelligent ani-
mals all of whom have
their own personalities and
preferences experience
tremendous physical and
psychological pain.
Most egg-laying hens
suffer a similar fate, as
theyre crammed into tiny
cages, each bird granted
less space than the screen of
an iPad on which to live for
its entire life.
By choosing meat-free
options just one day a week,
we can all help prevent an
enormous amount of cru-
elty to animals.
Human health and the
health of the planet also
benefit. A report issued by
Environmental Working
Group put it simply:
Producing all this meat
and dairy requires large
amounts of pesticides,
chemical fertilizer, fuel,
feed and water. It also gen-
erates greenhouse gases
and large amounts of toxic
manure and wastewater
that pollute groundwater,
rivers, streams and, ulti-
mately, the ocean.
Increasing numbers of
family farmers are also
voicing their support for
Meatless Monday as a
means to achieve a more
sustainable, community-
based agricultural system
before its too late.
Our current rate of meat
consumption is simply
unsustainable. By reducing
the total number of animals
raised for food, we place
greater value on humane,
sustainable agriculture in
which animal welfare is a
priority.
Thankfully, eating meat-
less doesnt mean less
at all. It means more, as
in more choices. It means
better, as in better liv-
ing both for us and for
animals.
From chain restaurants
like Chipotle and Dennys
serving up hearty vegetar-
ian fare, to Indian, Thai,
Chinese and Mexican
cuisine, which regularly
incorporate delicious meat-
free items, the options are
endless.
Bon appetit!

T
he $50,000 that
the Association
of Student
Governments voted last
Saturday to allot to UNC-
system schools to promote
voter education is a great
use of money, if used effi-
ciently.
In light of a recently
passed N.C. law poten-
tially hindering student
voting efforts, this bill is a
positive way to get more
students out to vote.
Educating student vot-
ers is important, especially
when young adults are new
to the voting game and
Capitalize on the cash
EDiTOriAl
new legislation attempts to
discourage voters.
With these laws, new
voters need a reliable
source of information.
If not used effectively,
however, this grant could
backfire and cause more
controversy in the already
budget-tight UNC system.
UNC should consider
using a portion of the
money not only for educa-
tion about changing voter
legislation, but also for
information about new
ballot issues and back-
ground on candidates in
upcoming elections.
One way to do this
could be funding a website
where students could get
the basics of what will be
on the upcoming ballot
and what it all means,
as well as interact online
with other student voters.
If students had a consis-
tent place to go to obtain
information on all ballot
issues before heading to
the polls, they would be
more adamant about get-
ting out to vote because
they would be voting on
issues they were educated
about, and therefore care
for more passionately.
As the next generation
of voting Americans, the
more educated college
students are about their
changing government and
laws and how new policies
can affect them, the more
likely it is that they will be
an active voting group for
years to come.
UNC should use new
funds allocated for
voting information.
W
hile all middle
and high schools
in Orange
County already utilize
armed student resource
officers, a newly enacted
policy making the position
permanent in elementary
schools is the right move.
Ever since the shoot-
ing at Sandy Hook drove
parents and school admin-
istrators to re-examine the
way elementary schools
are secured, Orange
County elementary
schools have seen armed
police officers become a
permanent fixture.
Stay safe, schools
EDiTOriAl
The school system
administrators should be
commended for having the
foresight to put parents
worries at ease, and should
continue working toward
improving school safety.
Each of the seven
Orange County elementary
schools will now have more
protection in the form of
one armed officer at each
school to serve a role in
safety and education of the
students.
By only adding seven sal-
aried positions, the finan-
cial strain will not prove
too hefty nor will officers be
so numerous as to distract
from the ultimate purpose
of the school learning.
Despite the fact that
these officers represent yet
another salary to be paid
during a time of massive
budget cuts in education
across the state, many par-
ents have expressed their
gratitude for the peace of
mind the officers bring.
Parents need to believe
that their children will be
taken care of in all aspects
of a school environment
academically and socially
with safety in mind at all
times.
Orange County has
chosen specific measures
that might be considered
superfluous by some, but
as long as the faculty, par-
ents and students directly
affected feel more confi-
dent and secure with the
officer around, then they
are serving their purpose.
Officers in schools
provide a valuable
service.
