Serving UNC students and the University community since 1893
There is no standing still because time is moving forward.
greg lake Thursday, September 19, 2013 dailytarheel.com Volume 121, Issue 75 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 dth/taylor sweet Stefan Weathers is the student body president at North Carolina Central University. N.C. Central and other HBCUs face enrollment troubles. HBCUs battle declining enrollment, look to move forward By Andrew Craig Staff Writer 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 Report shows outside influence on elections board.

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 Unemployment benefits $350 Weekly unemployment benefits 170,000 North Carolinians affected by cuts $780 million Federal money lost by the state health options when the Affordable Care Act comes into effect January 2014. 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.

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. see yfUnD, Page 7 see WAtAUGA, Page 7 see HbCUs, Page 7 today Global Projects Showcase: Those wishing to travel next summer or fund their global projects can come to this showcase that features students research, experiences and travel stories from a variety of felds and destinations.

Glen James, a homeless man living in Boston, was rewarded with $70,000 by an online donation campaign after he had turned in a backpack filled with some $40,000 full of cash and trav- elers checks to the police.

While he did laud the squatter for his kindness, Mugglin did acknowledge that a random man having a key to his house could have been extremely dangerous. 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.

From staff and wire reports inBRIEF 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. But according to Dunn, UNCs failure to finish despite severely By Morgan Swift Staff Writer 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. [email protected] scHolars speak ouT Time: 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday Location: Nelson Mandela Auditorium in the FedEx Global Education Center TO BEER OR NOT TO BEER dth/louise mann clement 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 Tender napalM Time: Sept. 19, 21, 22, and 23 at 8 p.m.; Sept. 20 at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. Location: Lindas Downbar, Franklin Street Info: http://on.fb.me/18amRgB Gerri Martin will start as district superintendent oct. 1. right up his alley, Claridad said.

TODAY IN DIVE 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 Thursday, September 19, 2013 The Daily Tar Heel 4 Else Built to Spill Leaves Fall Mansions on the Moon Punch Drunk on Black Mold Absofacto Furr Blitzen Trapper Lost Weekend The So So Glos Heartbreaker Girls A Stone Okkervil River Our Way To Fall Yo La Tengo Whispering Alex Clare The World Set Free William Tyler Diversions Thursday, September 19, 2013 The Daily Tar Heel 5 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. [email protected] 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.

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.

[email protected] 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.

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.

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.

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. James Martin 15 Computer science 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 lETTErS TO THE EDiTOr Temporary insanity, self-destructive tenden- cies, alien abduction, truth or dare or simple curiosity ... havent been ruled out either. ecleen, on hazing as a possible factor in David Shannons death North Carolina said, to heck with that, were doing it anyway, so the federal government was forced to cut emergency benefits. Rob Schofield, on the state cutting unemployment benefits EDiTOriAl cArTOOn By Matthew Leming, [email protected] 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. 9/20: VIDEOGAME VIOLENCE Columnist Memet Walker on howit doesnt desensitize us.

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! Kenny Torrella Humane Society of the United States 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. A group of protestors circled the states execu- tive mansion on Monday in order to protest the voting law changes en- acted by the states legisla- ture. The only problem was that no one was home. The governor was in Charleston. Suprisingly, this wasnt the stupidest thing to happen there over the last year.

The Untold Story About How Unions Took over Illinois Government: Who Is Actually Running Illinois Government? It’s Not the Administration. It’s Not the Department Heads. It’s the Public Employee Unions. —Chicago Tribune, November 25, 2019
