system schools, including UNC-CH, next

year. Are you concerned about that?
TR: Yes. I think out-of-state students that
come to our universities often are extreme-
ly talented people and they oftentimes stay
here once theyve come because they realize
what a great state it is.
Im concerned about whether we can con-
tinue to attract them if tuition gets too high.
Im concerned about losing some that we
already have that look at that big increase
and say, you know, it doesnt make sense for
me to be here, I could go back home or go
to another school much less expensively. I
think its as much about the message that it

Running the system
In recent years, higher education in
North Carolina has gone through a tumul-
tuous period of change.
In 2011, Thomas Ross took the helm of the
UNC system, which has faced a tough econo-
my and repeated funding cuts from the state.
Since that year, the system which
encompasses the 16 public universities in
the state as well as a two-year residential
high school has had nearly half a billion
dollars erased from its state funding.
State & National Editor Madeline
Will sat down with Ross to talk about his
thoughts on the tuition increases, the health
of the system, sexual assault on campus
and more.
THE DAILY TAR HEEL: Do you think you
were prepared for some of the issues the
system has faced?
Thomas Ross: I think its hard to be pre-
pared for some of what weve faced. I think
all of us knew the economic situation was
difficult and it would continue to be diffi-
cult for a while.
Weve seen a lot of transition in North
Carolina, both in the legislature and the
Board of Governors. The economy is tran-
sitioning, and the state is transitioning in a
lot of ways. Some of that we can anticipate,
some of that we couldnt.
And then weve had a lot of other issues
that you never know theyre going to come up
and never know theyre going to happen until
they do. You have to be prepared to deal with
them, thats part of the nature of the job.
DTH: In August, you said that you wanted
to freeze tuition increases for in-state
undergraduate students. How did you come
to that decision?
TR: I think were sort of at a crossroads at
the University. Weve increased tuition sig-
nificantly over the last several years before I
came and even since Ive been here.
I think there reaches a point where we are
asking our parents and students to carry a
heavy burden. I think if were going to pro-
vide an affordable and accessible public uni-
versity, at some point we have to figure out
how to structure the financial makeup of the
University that doesnt rely so heavily on the
students and their parents. Thats why that
state investment is so critically important.
What Im hoping is that we can give
students and parents at least a break for a
year or so after several years of increases,
and that we can also create a conversation
about what the future of funding for higher
educations going to be.

Foushee to
be sworn
in today
By Hayley Fowler
Staff Writer
Valerie Foushee will be sworn into the N.C.
Senate at 2 p.m. today following her official res-
ignation from her N.C. House of Representatives
seat as five candidates vie to replace her as
representative.
Foushee hand-delivered her resignation let-
ter to the House clerk and the N.C. Democratic
Party on Monday. Judge Beverly Scarlett will
swear Foushee into office at the Chatham County
Courthouse after her resignation takes effect at
noon.
Foushee, who represented Orange and
Durham counties in the N.C.
House, was nominated Sept. 8
to fill Ellie Kinnairds vacated
N.C. Senate seat, which serves
Orange and Chatham coun-
ties.
Foushees campaign man-
ager, Evan Degnan, said
Foushee will begin a five-stop
tour in mid-October through
the district to meet her new
constituents and propagate
her name.
He also said she wants a
progressive, well-qualified
Democrat to take her place.
Once the candidate is appoint-
ed, he said Foushee will serve as a mentor to the
new representative and help him or her adjust to
House committees and plan re-election.
Orange County Democratic Party Chairman
Matt Hughes said five people have submitted
their names for consideration. There is currently
no date set for the selection committee to make
its final decision.
Bernadette Pelissier and Drew Nelson, the two
most recent candidates to enter their names into
the running, join Tommy McNeill, the owner of a
medical supply company, Graig Meyer, an admin-
istrator for Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools,
and Laurin Easthom, a Chapel Hill Town Council
member.
Nelson, a partner at the Willis Johnson and
Nelson law firm and a father of a 3-year-old girl,
said the N.C. General Assembly has very few
members with young families.
My top priority is to be a progressive, strong
voice for folks with young kids, he said.
Five candidates look to fill her N.C.
House of Representatives seat.

Professors get
tobacco grants
By Cain Twyman
Staff Writer
Two professors were awarded a total of about $40
million to create projects for tobacco research at the
UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.
The National Institutes of Health chose scholars
across the nation to lead the new
Tobacco Centers of Regulatory
Science. Money for the projects
will be provided for the next
five years.
The projects are meant to
research ways that the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration
can better regulate tobacco.
Of the 14 proposals awarded
NIH grants, UNC was the only
university that received two.
Its a real testament to the
caliber of research being done
at this University, said grant
recipient Kurt Ribisl, a profes-
sor in the UNC Gillings School
of Global Public Health.
Ribisl and Robert Tarran, a
professor in UNCs department
of cell Biology and physiology,
will each receive about $4 mil-
lion for 2013-14, with more
money to come later.
The TCORS sites will
increase knowledge across
the full spectrum of basic and
applied research on tobacco
and addiction, stated an FDA
press release.
Tarrans project, titled The
Impact of Tobacco Exposure
on the Lungs Innate Defense
System, has been given about $20 million for the
next five years.

Blue aims to help UNC run game
By Aaron Dodson
Assistant Sports Editor
Offensive Coordinator Blake Anderson
hasnt shied away from saying the North
Carolina football teams ground game is far
from where he wants it to be, largely attrib-
uting the offenses struggles to one problem.
The whole continuity of the run game
has got to improve, he said.
Because UNCs running attack is youth-
ful, trouble with timing and decision-
making plagues the corps that features
two freshmen and two sophomores both in
practice and games.
But if there is one player in the position
to revive the teams running game which
averaged nearly 200 yards per game in 2012
to just 111 in three games this season its
UNCs most seasoned ball carrier, senior
A.J. Blue, Anderson said.
Hes been a leader since day one.
Whether hes on the field or not, hes always
had a presence that I think the guys respect,
and hes doing everything he can to lead,
Anderson said. I think he takes a tremen-
dous amount of pride in what were doing
and wants to be better than we are.
Though Blue didnt win UNCs starting
running back job in the preseason, hes still
made an impact on the field. The senior
ball carrier is second on the team in rush-
ing with 108 yards on the year behind only
sophomore Romar Morris, who doesnt con-
sider himself the teams sole starter.
We have a great relationship, Morris
said. We hang out on and off the field,
watch a lot of film together do a lot of
studying so we both call ourselves the
starter. Whoever starts the game doesnt
really matter because were both going to go
in there and give it our all.
Blue, who set the UNC record with former
running back Giovani Bernard for total touch-
downs in a season between a pair of team-
mates with 29, said the running attack put too
dth filE/chris conway

much pressure on itself at the start of the year.
Last year we all knew Gio was going to
(score), and when I came in I had no wor-
ries, he said. I just got to get back to playing
my game and being comfortable ... I think
that goes the same for Romar.
For Blue, UNCs success on offense this sea-
son will rely heavily on the Tar Heel running
backs, which he said have not played up to his
or the teams expectations this season.
Were not putting enough points on the
board as a running back corps, and at the
end of the day you have to have a running
game to have an explosive offense, he said.
We still have a lot to do, a lot to prove
not only to ourselves but to the team and
coaches as well.
Its a work in progress and we havent
flipped the switch as quickly as we would
have liked, but it will come.
And while the UNC rushing attack has
struggled to perform as a cohesive unit,
something that contributed to its success
last season, theres one thing Blue and the
rest of the Tar Heel ball carriers have not let
go of confidence.
Were the best group on the field. Weve
got to have that mentality, Blue said. We
had it last year and its got to carry over to this
year. We always talk about the fact that the
party doesnt start until the running backs
walk and we have to keep that mentality.

When members of UNCs Sierra Student
Coalition tried to present to the UNC Board of
Trustees about coal divestment last spring, they
were unsuccessful.
But today theyre on the official board agenda.
SSCs Beyond Coal initiative aims to get the
University to divest its endowment from coal.
Members will give a 50-minute presentation to
the boards finance and infrastructure committee
meeting this afternoon. Their goal is to create a
working group with students and administrators to
research the potential for coal divestment at UNC.
Last spring, Student Congress passed a resolu-
tion saying it supported divestment, and 77 per-
cent of students supported a referendum encour-
aging such a move.
Prior to the presentation, the group is staging a
rally on the steps of Wilson Library to garner sup-
port for its cause.
Its a celebration of the fact that weve reached
a pivotal point as a campaign, said Tait Chandler,
a member of the group who will present today.
After the rally, presenters and supporters will
march to the Carolina Inn for the board meeting.
Jasmine Ruddy, a junior environmental health
science major, will also present to the board.
She said by the end of the year SSC wants the
University to pass a resolution saying it will no
longer invest its endowment in coal.
The step between that is to present the cam-
paign and all of the reasons we think that we
should divest, she said.
Ruddy said she is optimistic about the boards
response to their presentation.
This isnt so much about divesting from coal
as it is making the choice to invest in sustainabil-
ity, she said.
Senior Jocelyn Burney, chairwoman of Student
Congress oversight and advocacy committee,
encouraged students to attend the meeting.
Congress members represent the students,
and they need to know whats going on in the
University, she said. This is a big meeting.
Burney said she was uncertain why the board
didnt respond to the initiative last year.
The endowment is very important and any big
change in where that money is invested is a big
decision to make, she said. Its understandable
that theyre taking time.
When the initiative first began at UNC, it was
one of only five such divestment movements in
the nation. There are now more than 300 cam-
paigns across the country.
This movement is happening if UNC wants it or
not, Ruddy said. The question is not if, but when
do we want to be a leader or one of the last?
She said the campaigns big challenge is the
uncertain outcome of the working groups research.
Were at the point where we need the boards
help.

group to
talk to
trustees
By Chloe Ladd
Staff Writer
Jack Schmidt is being teased for jumping
ship from Tar Heel country to Blue Devil
territory.
Schmidt, the general manager of the
Carolina Inn, served his last day Friday
and will begin his new position at the Duke
University equivalent at the end of the month.
I was on the board of directors for the
Chapel Hill Visitors Bureau, and when I
told them, they were all right with me leav-
ing up until the time I said I was going to
Washington Duke, he said.
Schmidt will serve as the director of sales
and marketing at the Washington Duke Inn
& Golf Club beginning Sept. 30.
Jim Bressler, the current director of sales
and marketing at the Washington Duke,
confirmed Schmidts new position. He
declined to make any further comments.
Schmidt started as the director of sales and
marketing at the Carolina Inn for a year and
a half before becoming the general manager.
Its been an incredibly wonderful three-
year run here at the inn, Schmidt said.
Gabriel Leal, a bartender at the Carolina
Inn, said Schmidt was one of the best man-
agers he has seen during his time there.
Weve had managers in the past that
come straight into their offices and we never
see them, ever, Leal said.
Hes one of the guys that will come
around and say, Hello, how are you doing,
how are things? Youd see him.
Schmidt said his job offer from the
Washington Duke was unsolicited.
Ive known the principals that oper-
ate the Washington Duke for almost three
decades, and when they presented me an
opportunity to join their team, it seemed
like a good thing to do, he said.
Schmidt will not have to relocate for his
new job, and is happy to be able to continue
living in the Triangle area.
Though he is switching inns, he said he
does not think it will be too big of a transition.
The fundamentals are all the same, he
said.
Its about providing excellent service and
making good memories for all the people
that stay at either place. Thats the business
were in, the business of making memories.
Leal said he, along with many other
employees, will miss Schmidts leadership.
As for a replacement, a national search is
currently underway, Schmidt said. Destination
Hotels & Resorts and UNC Management
Company are involved in the search.
We ll have to wait and see whats going to
happen, Leal said.

MenS SoCCer: WIllIaM & Mary 1, UnC 0
By Kate Eastman
Staff Writer
When the sideline referee raised his
flag to signal a William & Mary goal at
Fetzer Field Tuesday night, the No. 1 North
Carolina mens soccer team was left in a
wake of confusion.
Not only was the team playing with only
10 players on the field, but UNC also could
not be certain that the chaos surrounding its
net had produced a legitimate goal.
William & Mary midfielder Chris Perez
sent a volley into the box that was then
headed by Chris Albiston in the 73rd
minute. UNC redshirt junior goalkeeper
Brendan Moore came off his line to push
the ball away, but wasnt able to get to the
deflection in time.
It was a cluster, Moore said. I saw the
ball bouncing around and somehow it got
pushed into the net. I saw the ball get close
(to the goal line) and it may have passed it.
Im not sure, but Nick (Williams) definitely
played it back out.
UNCs confusion reached its peak when
Tribe forward Jackson Eskay, not Albiston,
was credited with the goal.
The goal gave the Tribe a 1-0 lead it
would not relinquish, and broke both
UNCs undefeated record and its four-
game streak of overtime play.
Despite the defensive mayhem, the more
troubling issue for coach Carlos Somoano
was the fact that his players had been out-
numbered 10 to 11 due to a substitution
miscommunication.
I sent (Boyd Okwuonu) off because he
had blood on his uniform, Somoano said.
They asked me if I wanted a sub and we
said yes. I called Cooper (Vandermaas-
Peeler) up and they didnt give us a chance
to sub. Its not right that they scored when
we had a man down.
From the initial whistle, the Tribe imme-
diately shook up the Tar Heel defense, forc-
ing a series of errors. Two failed clearances
on the UNC back line left William & Mary
open for dangerous shots early in the half.
After the initial defensive threats, the
Tar Heels were able to regain possession
and control the remainder of the half.
In the second half, the Tar Heels contin-
ued to push, pounding multiple crosses over
the goal mouth. Senior forward Josh Rice
had three early back-to-back attempts, two
from headers and one from a strike that
resulted in a corner kick, but UNC could not
capitalize on the final touch.
Were creating chances were just not
finishing right now, junior forward Tyler
Engel said. Sometimes balls dont bounce
your way.
The Tar Heels left the field frustrated,
but Somoano said the blame for the loss
should not fall on the referees.
When youve really got your stuff
together and youre really playing well, you
get through these moments, Somoano
said. Its not like youre not going to have
something controversial happen to you
every season. We need to find a better way
to handle these moments.

Campaign aims to crack code of illiteracy issue
By Will Parker
Staff Writer
Mary Carey wants to make illit-
eracy an election issue and shes
tricking people into thinking they
cant read to do it.
Carey is the campaign director at
Bootstraps PAC, the organization
responsible for the signs all around
the Triangle that feature a random
collection of colorful letters with a
bar code linking to the organiza-
tions website.
The organization works to illumi-
nate the illiteracy problem among
children in the area.
Our hope is to make these kids
an election issue, Carey said. The
school board can have the greatest
impact on these kids.
Four Chapel Hill residents are
running for three seats on the
Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools
Board of Education.
The candidates are incum-
bents James Barrett and Michelle
Brownstein, and Andrew Davidson
and Ignacio Tzoumas.
I dont understand what it is say-
ing at all, freshman Blaine Sanders
said about the signs.
The election-like signs are
placed at prominent intersections
in Chapel Hill, including Franklin
Street and Martin Luther King Jr.
Boulevard.
Chapel Hill resident Susan Dell
said she was intrigued by the signs
when she first saw one but didnt
know what it meant.
I dont know if I would scan the
code unless I saw it a few times and
really had the time, she said.
The signs did draw the interest
of Alex Orocz, a UNC graduate stu-
dent, although he did not immedi-
ately know the meaning.
I couldnt decipher what it was
when I read it, so I imagine (for)
someone whos illiterate, it must be
pretty tough.
But Orocz said it was unlikely he
would try to find out the purpose of
the signs on his own.
Ive actually never scanned a QR
code before, despite having a smart-
phone, he said.
Katrina Battle, a graduate stu-
dent at UNC, also didnt under-
stand the signs, but she said she
felt the issue of illiteracy is impor-
tant.
I know illiteracy is a problem
everywhere, and I do realize the
importance of reading, especially
with parents with smaller kids, she
said.

A expert in media law said
the Obama administration
has pursued policies differ-
ently than transparency and
press advocates have hoped.
The speaker, Bruce Brown,
discussed the relationship
between the government and
media to about 100 students
at the conclusion of First
Amendment Day festivities.
Brown, the executive
director of the Reporters
Committee for Freedom of
the Press, gave a brief his-
tory of leak investigations
conducted during the Obama
administration and shared his
thoughts on how the media
ought to respond.
Brown detailed this sum-
mers investigation of former
State Department contrac-
tor Stephen Jin-Woo Kim,
charged with leaking top-
secret information to Fox
News. This led to the journal-
ist in contact with Kim being
charged as a co-conspirator.
The U.S. Department
of Justice claimed it had
no choice but to identify
the reporter, James Rosen,
because of the Privacy
Protection Act, he said.
This past summer, Brown
worked with the Reporters
Committee, which led a
coalition of more than 50
news groups and journalism
organizations to influence the
Justice Department to reform
its guidelines, which had not
been altered since the 1980s.
They have made headway,
including bringing search
warrants under federal policy.
Previously only subpoenas
were mentioned; now, search
warrants have to be approved
by the attorney general too.
Journalism professor Cathy
Packer said it was vital for stu-
dents to understand this issue.
Many of our students
are about to enter this world
where they are going to have
confidential sources, and
they need to be aware of the
threats the government may
pose if and when theyre writ-
ing stories about national
security, she said.
Citizens should be con-
cerned about this because
these issues are really about
the balance of power between
the government and the press.
Kenan Bateman, a junior
advertising major, said he val-
ues confidentiality in reporting.
At the end of the day,
investigations into different
topics require confidential-
ity, he said. Without that
confidentiality it protects the
government too much.

Cupola gets an update
Media law talk
highlights leaks
By Erin Davis
Staff Writer
While it is not as well-
known as other University
institutions, UNC Facilities
Services provides students
with everything from recy-
cling bins to building renova-
tions on campus.
And the department tries
to do so in an environmen-
tally friendly, cost-efficient
way.
Luke Hoff, director of
the design and construc-
tion department in Facilities
Services, said the department
takes on more than 350 proj-
ects a year.
He said one of its current
projects is the restoration of
the cupola a small, dome-
like structure that adorns
Manning Hall, which is home
to the School of Information
and Library Science.
Gary Marchionini, dean of
the School of Information and
Library Sciences, said con-
struction on the cupola was
supposed to be completed by
the end of the summer.
We were hoping it would
be done before classes began
but I think all of the rain we
had this summer made it
stretch beyond, he said.
Lou Buarotti, carpentry
supervisor and construc-
tion manager for Facilities
Services, said the project
should be finished by the end
of October.
Facilities Services, which
employs roughly 1,000 peo-
ple, plans and manages all the
facilities and grounds projects
on campus that cost less than
$500,000.
Despite the wide range of
projects the department is
responsible for, Hoff said the
department strives to keep
projects eco-friendly.
We incorporate sustain-
able materials, he said.
We have a task force,
which specifically identi-
fies materials that could be
switched out for something
more sustainable for exam-
ple, ceiling tiles made out of
recycled materials.
Hoff said Facilities
Services has done its best
to keep workers employed
while trying to keep UNC an
environmentally conscious
campus.
To minimize the poten-
tial of layoffs we (operate)
just through attrition if
somebody decides to retire
we dont refill that position,
Hoff said.
We havent had to lay off
people in the past five years.
Buarotti said the environ-
mentally friendly options are
more cost-efficient in most
cases.
We try to stick to sustain-
able products locally grown

Manning Halls cupola was supposed to be finished by the end
of the summer, but constuction continued into September.

is working on the
Manning Hall project.
lumber and stuff like that,
formaldehyde-free PVC, he
said of construction materials
for the cupola.
He said Facilities Services
is also working on the new
Alpine Bagel location in the
Thurston Bowles building, a
sound system renovation in
the Student Union, a com-
plete refurbishment of the
Playmakers Theater and a
renovation of the eighth-floor
lounge in Davis Library.
Were working to bet-
ter the environment from a
teaching and learning stand-
point for both the faculty and
the students, Hoff said. I
love helping people.

sends were going to make
you pay, really, more than the
cost of your education to come
here, and I worry about that. I
think its not the right message
for our state.
DTH: What has your
relationship been like with
Chancellor Carol Folt since
she started her job in July?
TR: When I first sat down
to interview her, it did not
take long to figure out that
she was the right choice
for UNC-Chapel Hill. Shes
incredibly bright, she has pas-
sion, she has energy, she has a
commitment to public higher
education.
Ive also been impressed by
her judgment, the issues that
shes had to confront in her
short time here so far.
DTH: You announced a cam-
pus security initiative in June
to see if the system was on
target in addressing allegations
of crimes, including sexual
assault.
TR: This is an important
initiative for us, and its not
being driven by what hap-
pened at Chapel Hill or any
other school. (We want) to be
certain that our students are
safe first and foremost, second
to be sure that when there are
issues of student conduct ... we
have a process that works well
and is fair to the student but
also to the University.
Were particularly con-
cerned about sexual assault
and how its handled in
some ways sexual assault and
other violent kinds of assault
are different because they
intersect with the legal system
in ways many other kinds of
student conduct issues dont.
Figuring out how to blend
those different processes so
that were sure were not in any
way inhibiting or interfering
with or damaging the legal
process while at the same
time, providing a thoughtful,
careful process for the hearing
of these matters on campus
its a complex issue.
Its one frankly from my own
personal experience that Ive
seen a lot of. I spent 17 years
as a trial judge so I tried a lot
of these cases and I know how
difficult they are. We want to
be sure we do it exactly the
right way, the best way pos-
sible, use all the best practices.
DTH: Students from UNC-
CH have been meeting with
members of the systems
General Administration to
discuss alternatives to gen-
der-neutral housing. What is
the status of that?
TR: I think theyve got some
follow-up conversations to take
place. I know our (Association
of Student Governments)
leader is trying to work with
the campus and others to think
through some alternatives and
options to ensure student safe-
ty because I think thats been a
concern that all of us want to
be sure were on top of.
DTH: Whats the next step?
TR: We agreed to provide
the written materials that
were provided to us to our
board chair. Then I think
Robert Nunnery, whos the
ASG president, is going to be
working with student leaders
to come up with some options,
and well see where that leads.
DTH: At the last board
meeting, a member brought
up the possibility of con-
solidating a university. Long-
term, where do you see the
UNC system?
TR: Theres no proposal
from anyone on our board
at this point to consolidate a
campus. I think that there are
a lot of things that we would
need to try and fail at before
wed ever get to that point.
I always ask students and
faculty of a campus what
would this town be like if the
university wasnt there? Each
of these institutions has a real
role to play in their region so if
you were to shut one of them
down, it would have in many
ways a devastating effect on the
region, and I think we all have
to think through that before we
think thats an easy solution for
any budget problem.
The other thing I remind
people of this is a growing
state. Theres going to be an
increasing demand for higher
education in the state.
I dont think the future is
going to lead in that direction
for the University of North
Carolina. I hope not because
I think it would mean that
things are not going well for
the state, because if the state
is thriving, then the University
would thrive with it.
DTH: Is there anything in
this job that keeps you up at
night?
TR: I think we all worry
about another crisis at one
of our institutions, and how
many more can you take?
Any time youre dealing with
an institution that employs
as many people as we do ...
and then you throw on top
of that 220,000 students
theres going to be crises,
theres going to be mistakes
made. Its our job to man-
age through those and try to
resolve those as quickly as we
can and successfully as we
can and were going to con-
tinue to do that. I dont lose
sleep over those things.
But what I worry about
more than anything is the
success of our students and
their safety and their oppor-
tunity and their ability to help
provide the leadership and
the development of our econ-
omy ... because thats who we
depend on.
I was just watching a
video from the University
of Virginia about a young
woman who was very highly
regarded on campus, went to
Washington, D.C. for a party
and took a molly pill (and
died). I worry about that a
whole lot more than I do any-
thing else.
All thats going on with
the University, is it hurting
opportunities for students in
some way? Are we cutting in
the wrong places? Or doing
something that might reduce
their opportunity? Those are
the kinds of things that keep
me up.

He said a third of the money
will pay for project resources,
and the rest will go toward
salaries for the research team
and other necessities, such as
chemicals for experiments.
The project will employ
about 50 people.
Tarrans research team will
focus on the effect of tobacco
smoke on the lungs. He said
cigarette smoking can cause
dangerous diseases such as
chronic obstructive pulmo-
nary disease.
COPD is the third leading
killer in the U.S., (and) theres
only a poor understanding of
why it does what it does, he
said.
Ribisls project, Effective
Communication on Tobacco
Product Risk and FDA
Authority, features a program
to hire and train project team
members, which will likely
include graduate and post-
doctoral students. It will also
include a $150,000 pilot
program to go toward salaries
and other project needs.
We want to help optimize
the best way to communicate
information so it has the best
effect on tobacco users, he
said.
Because the grant was just
awarded, the two have only
recently begun recruiting team
members.
Tarran said there are also
economic benefits to the grant
such as possibly bringing sci-
entists and researchers from
all over the world to UNC.
It will inject money into
North Carolina, Tarran said.
There is already some
interdepartmental collabora-
tion, along with coordination
with other schools such as
Wake Forest University, the
University of Minnesota and
the University of Cincinnati
on Ribisls project.
Ribisl said he is looking
forward to partnering with
Tarran on both projects.
We hope that there are
opportunities for working
together, Ribisl said.

UNCs pickup culture thrives
By Keaton Greene
Staff Writer
UNC alumnus Dan
Costello has been playing
pickup basketball in Woollen
Gym a court dating back to
the 1930s for 10 years.
Woollen is historical the
Heels used to play here before
you were born, he said.
For Costello and others,
the unique culture of pickup
basketball at UNC emerges
from open courts and groups
of students, teachers and
Chapel Hill residents that
come together to play.
While students also have the
option to join intramural and
club teams, pickup student rec-
reational basketball teams have
no official structure besides
the players who play, many of
whom dont know each other
off the courts.
If you give them a basket-
ball and courts, they know
what to do from there, said
Reggie Hinton, director of
facilities and operations for
Campus Recreation.
There are many open
courts on campus, including
Woollen, Fetzer Gym, Rams
Head Recreational Center
and outdoor courts next to
the Smith Center.
It is the product of UNC
deep in basketball tradition,
Hinton said. People want to
play pickup or otherwise.
Woollen has hosted a pickup
game played by faculty, staff,
alumni and graduate stu-
dents during lunch hours on
Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays for more than 20 years.
Lunch is the time I dont
teach classes, said commu-
nications graduate student
Armond Towns.
Towns said he plays in
Woollen because he is not
as young as he once was
and many of the players at
Woollen are older.
However, the number of
people that play at Woollen
is not as consistently high as
Hinton thinks it should be.
Last week, 216 people played
pickup on Friday, but only 92
people played on Monday.
Hinton attributes the lower
numbers at Woollen to the lack
of air conditioning in the gym.
Senior Melanique DeVeaux
said she chooses instead to
play at Rams because it is air-
conditioned. She also believes
that Rams tends to draw more
competitive players, which
makes it more crowded.
Woollen feels like its 800
degrees, she said.
Senior Tyler Colvard said
when the courts are especially
crowded, the players will
shoot for spots on the team.
The first five players to make
a basket will play on the same
team. The winning team gets
to keep playing, while the los-
ing team will disassemble.
Rams starts to get crowded
around 5 p.m., when most
dth/Lamon Johnson
Senior Ying-Ao Zhang plays a pick up game of basketball at Rams Head Recreation Center on Tuesday.
The basketball
tradition remains
popular on campus.

classes are over and players
can park on campus, he said.
Director of Campus
Recreation Bill Goa said he
plans to address the lack of air
conditioning in Woollen and
the crowded courts in Rams.
Within the next six months,
he will create a recreational
facilities master plan, and will
assess the need for more bas-
ketball, volleyball and other
multipurpose courts.
We will solicit student
input during this process, he
said.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
FEATUrED OnlinE rEADEr cOmmEnT
Make this the year for
divestment from coal
TO THE EDITOR:
UNCs Board of Trustees
will meet this afternoon.
As a University student
and member of the Sierra
Student Coalition, I am
proud that the Beyond Coal
campaign is on the agenda.
This meeting will con-
tinue last semesters forward
momentum, when 77 per-
cent of University students
voted in favor of divestment.
The Beyond Coal
campaign calls on the
University to divest our
$2.1 billion endowment
from the coal industry. Coal
presents dangers to the
environment and public
health and is becoming an
increasingly risky invest-
ment. Smart investment in
sustainability is the way to
move forward.
Considering that the
campaign did not make
it to the agenda last year,
I am grateful that we can
now make our voices heard
on behalf of divestment.
The support of the boards
members is vital to the
campaigns progress.
This is a pivotal moment
for the University. It is a
chance for the Board of
Trustees to engage with
students on an issue that
matters to all of us. We
believe that the University
can lead the way forward to
a more sustainable, finan-
cially secure future.
Students are invited to
attend a pre-meeting rally at
1 p.m. on the steps of Wilson
Library and to follow the
Sierra Student Coalition to
the board meeting at 2 p.m.
We will give our presenta-
tion at 2:30.
We have been granted
an amazing opportunity to
deliver our message. We
thank the Board of Trustees
for providing us the plat-
form. We thank them for
listening.

Environmental science
The failed H-bomb in
Goldsboro is old news
TO THE EDITOR:
The Sept. 24 Daily Tar
Heel includes a conversa-
tion with professor Klaus
Larres about a nuclear
H-bomb that nearly
exploded near Goldsboro.
I taught for many years a
course at UNC on science,
technology and the nuclear
arms race. Based on this
experience I would like
to make a few comments
about this event.
The current report about
this event was published in
the British newspaper The
Guardian. It implies that
this event has been a secret
until recently declassified.
But it has been well-known
since its occurrence.
For example, a journalism
student from UNC inter-
viewed me about it long ago
the interview has been
on the web under my name
ever since. The interview
is so old that modern com-
puter programs even have
problems reading it.
lETTErS TO
THE EDiTOr
We all have to make a choice between tak-
ing the time to defend our positions, or keep-
ing quiet because we dont feel like arguing.

wants it or not. The question is not if, but
when do we want to be a leader...

The reports also seem to
vary greatly, with the num-
ber of failed safety mecha-
nism ranging from three out
of four to six out of seven.
Always there is a report of
only a single safety feature
remaining. Hence published
details must be compared to
known facts about H-bombs.
Some parts of one of
the H-bombs supposedly
have never been recovered
from the very deep mud;
hence, the ground has been
declared off-limits ever since.
But what was not recov-
ered? The fission trigger; the
non-radioactive lithium-deu-
teride material that would
produce the fusion reaction;
the natural uranium around
the fusion part of the bomb?
Or is off-limits an attempt
to hide some design details?
I have my suspicion that
this final safety feature was
very critical, and hard to
overcome. The design of
an H-bomb involves a very
complex sequence of chem-
ical implosion to trigger the
fission explosion.
The H-bomb may have
come down by parachute.
But it was not designed
to explode on the ground
was the altitude for the
explosion set? Hence we
dont know how intact the
bomb actually was when it
hit the ground.
I am not convinced that
the H-bomb would have
done more than explode
chemically if the last safety
feature had failed. Maybe,
just maybe, the fission
bomb would have had a
partial explosion, spreading
Pu-239 (and U-235) over a
nearby area.
In any case, this event
was not a secret requiring
a freedom-of-information
declassification. Because of
the public discussion at that
time, the bomb designers
hopefully learned from it.

Pressure to be silent
affects radicals, too
TO THE EDITOR:
The DTH reports that
campus conservatives fear
that they will get dirty
looks if they exercise their
First Amendment rights.
However, ones right to free
speech does not entitle one
to be liked afterwards.
Conspicuously absent
from the discussion was the
fact that the mainstream
liberal environment cracks
down on radicals perhaps
harder than conservatives.
The Tancredo protest is
cited, but the polices use of
pepper spray on a peaceful
crowd goes unmentioned.
Also unmentioned is the
paramilitary assault on the
Yates Building occupation,
which the town rationalized
by claiming that riot litera-
ture was present. Reporters
were arrested as well.
Franklin Street became
a part of a widespread
crackdown on journalists
covering the Occupy move-
ment, one that dramatically
demoted the United States
Press Freedom Index.

G
reek organizations
will be in the dis-
cussion again dur-
ing the upcoming Board of
Trustees meeting, regard-
ing how the University
should approach their
GPA requirements. It is
clear that the best course
of action moving forward
would be to set a more
permanent standard mini-
mum GPA requirement
for all Greek organiza-
tions.
The campuswide GPA
A fair standard
EDiTOriAl
average is constantly in
a state of flux. Setting a
minimum standard would
eliminate any issues relat-
ed to an always-changing
GPA.
Greek councils should
work together in order
to determine a fair mini-
mum GPA standard. The
minimum shouldnt be
a lofty goal that is set in
order to weed out Greek
organizations, but rather
a limit that will challenge
students in the classroom
and not be unreasonable
to attain.
The councils should
ensure that they collabo-
rate in their dialogue with
the Board of Trustees, as
well as with various lead-
ers from all corners of the
campus community.
Additionally, there is no
average GPA requirement
for most other groups on
campus, and the ones that
have one, like football,
dont mandate a GPA that
is higher than the campus
average. Greek organiza-
tions should not be treated
any differently.
It is imperative that the
trustees put any precon-
ceived notions of Greeks
aside and encourage dis-
cussion about a fair mini-
mum GPA standard for
Greeks.
A concrete goal
should be set for
Greek GPAs.
S
tudents representing
the coal divestment
movement will pur-
sue the more feasible goal
of delegating a task force
to research complete coal
divestment in front of the
Board of Trustees today.
This is a crucial step for a
movement that UNC must
get behind before its left
in the dust of other top
universities.
If approved, the team
will investigate the feasi-
bility of divestment from
coal companies. The team
will present its findings to
Divestment continues
EDiTOriAl
the board in the spring.
A campuswide referen-
dum held last spring shows
77 percent of students voted
in support of divestment
from stocks and mutual
funds invested in coal.
The trustees denied the
movement an opportunity
to speak at its meeting last
spring.
Advocates of the move-
ment support divestment
because of coals declining
prominence in a natural
gas-saturated energy mar-
ket, in addition to the many
environmental consequenc-
es of coal burning.
Admittedly, taking
UNCs money out of all
coal-related investments
is not a clear-cut process.
UNC has only direct con-
trol over 7 percent of its
endowment, while the rest
is tied up in avenues such
as large mutual funds,
making divestment a more
complicated process.
This small portion
should not be overlooked.
Even a divestment from
coal could provide a
strong message.
A movement that
started with a small
group of universities last
spring including UNC
has exploded into 308
schools, public and private,
throughout the country.
This movement is an
opportunity for UNC to
continue its tradition of
leadership.
Trustees should
approve the new
task force.

This is the second install-
ment of a three-part series.
A
t a lively network-
ing event, I asked a
fellow entrepreneur
why he decided to start his
own business. He chuckled
and said, It was two words
from my boss: youre fired.
Of course, getting fired
may get you thinking about
becoming an entrepreneur,
but it takes more than that
to make it a reality. An
entrepreneur is someone
who takes the initiative and
assumes the risk to organize
and manage a venture.
Drive, risk-taking, innova-
tion and a strong work ethic
are common to successful
entrepreneurs. There are
some other basic steps one
can take to make the goal of
starting a venture a reality.
At the heart of any suc-
cessful business is a great
idea. These can range from
the annoyingly simple (e.g.,
the Snuggie) to the rather
complex (e.g., therapeutics
and vaccines). You can find
inspiration by brainstorming

about what societal needs
are not being met and then
developing a solution to ful-
fill one of those needs.
Once you have an idea,
draft a business plan. Its a
tool that entrepreneurs can
use to help focus them in
the right direction for their
ventures.
It will allow you to get
all your ideas on paper and
address any holes in your
thinking. Remember, the
plan is a dynamic document
meant to serve as a guide,
not a leash. As your venture
develops so will your busi-
ness plan.
While you forge your idea,
aspiring entrepreneurs benefit
by discussing their thoughts
with someone. These talks can
lead to valuable feedback that
will help to refine your ven-
ture. Dont be afraid to have a
conversation! Youre going to
have to talk about your idea
at some point, and the sooner
the better.
Other entrepreneurs can
be a great sounding board,
and you may find a mentor.
Finding a good mentor
can save you a lot of blood,
sweat and tears.
Seek out someone you
admire or who has signifi-
cant relevant experience and
ask for guidance. You ll be
surprised at how generous
established entrepreneurs
can be with their time.
Launching a venture can
seem daunting (like me try-
ing to explain twerking to
my mother thanks Miley),
but these steps will put you
on the right path. Becoming
an entrepreneur is a learning
experience fueled by hard
work and innovation. Start
something you ll be glad
you did.
Finding a mentor can help entrepreneurs fine-tune ideas.

V
oter ID defends the
legitimacy of elections
by ensuring every eligi-
ble citizen gets one vote. Those
who complain that theres a
broader suppression effort in
the new law are either mis-
leading you or are themselves
misinformed.
The law ensures that the
person at the poll is the same as
the person on the registration.
Case law supports this idea,
as Supreme Court Justice
John Paul Stevens wrote in
Crawford v. Marion County
Election Board that the photo
ID requirement doesnt consti-
tute a burden that outweighs
the states interest in prevent-
ing voter fraud. Where, then, is
the problem?
The attacks against voter ID
follow two themes: either voter
ID is unnecessary because
theres no voter fraud, or
Republicans passed voter ID
to keep minorities and youth
from voting. Kindly put, both
are incorrect.
Fun fact: Monacos intention-
al homicide rate is zero. That
means in 2008, the last avail-
able year, exactly zero people
were found to have been mur-
dered there. But just because a
crime is rare doesnt mean we
dont need protection from it.
Isnt that how we justify
humiliating security proce-
dures at the airport?
In the same year that no
one was murdered in Monaco,
the State Board of Elections
reported 49 cases of voter
fraud. That equals a fraud rate
of about 11 per 100,000 votes.
Its funny to think that a
wealthy expat wandering the
streets of Monaco in the mid-
dle of the night is safer than
our votes.
In terms of statistical signifi-
cance, voter fraud is more like
murder in Monaco its prob-
ably not going to happen to you
or me or anyone we know.
But in terms of philosophi-
cal significance, that number
represents actual people who
were robbed of their vote.
Thats real voter suppression,
and thats why voter ID makes
so much sense. The law doesnt
take away your vote. It ensures
your vote is counted like every-
one elses.
The idea that that it will sup-
press the youth vote is suspect.
Opponents point to the fact
that poll officials wont accept
college IDs or out-of-state driv-
ers licenses, with the second
point being simply untrue.
But think of all of the things
you already cant do with your
college ID: obtain a mar-
riage license, buy a gun or get
a passport. Voting with my
OneCard would be like going
to the liquor store with my
fishing license.
Im insulted by the idea that
minorities are incapable of
obtaining a photo ID in three
years. Does my being Japanese-
American prevent me from tak-
ing a couple of hours to ensure
my vote is secure? Raising the
boogeyman of racial discrimina-
tion only serves to silence sen-
sible debate. Voter ID isnt some
21st-century poll tax if only
because that same law offers
free voter ID cards to those who
cant afford a drivers license.
Opponents protest that the
right to vote must be fiercely
protected. I couldnt agree more,
and thats why I supported voter
ID, first as an intern for one of
the bills primary sponsors and
now as a columnist.
