The Federal Transit
Administration approved a
request by Triangle Transit on
Tuesday to begin development
on a passenger train system
known as the Durham-Orange
Light Rail Transit Project.
Brad Schulz, a spokesman
for Triangle Transit, said the
approval was the first step of
many toward the completion
of the rail system. Phase one of
the project is known as project
development, in which engi-
neering and environmental
work will take place.
Schulz said the objective of
this two-year period is to define
the 17-mile route the train
will take, as well as determine
where stations will be. The
product of this phase will be a
Final Environmental Impact
Statement and a Record of
Decision that will solidify the
findings of the development
phase, Schulz said in an email.
Earl McKee, vice chair of
the Orange County Board of
Commissioners and a critic of
the light rail, said this is only
the beginning of development

To real estate agent Larry Tollen, getting a per-
mit for a home renovation in Chapel Hill is always
a new experience.
And Tollen is a veteran home renovator.
Every time I have to get something permitted,
I get the impression that no one has ever done a
renovation before, he said. Its like the process is
being designed for you from scratch every time.
Tollen is not the only local realtor concerned
with the permitting process.
Desiree Goldman, a member of the Greater
Chapel Hill Association of Realtors, said the asso-
ciation discussed the slow and expensive process
at a recent meeting.
Chapel Hill is low on residential land develop-
ment with only 2 percent of its available resi-
dential land still sitting empty and the average
age of homes in the area is rising. Goldman said
people generally have to renovate older homes
before putting them on the market.
For those renovations in a residential area that
include additions, alterations, kitchen remodel-
ings and structural work such as pool additions
and roof replacements, the town requires a permit
from the planning department.
Cosmetic work that costs less than $5,000 does
not require a permit.
The permitting application includes a project
description, zoning and area information and
mechanical and construction details.
Permit fees are based on the price of the renova-
tion and can range from $55 to more than $2,500.
Miscellaneous fees are added for certain features

RALEIGH In a game where 10 men
battle on the court for 40 minutes, in the
end it came down to two men in one extra
five minute period.
Marcus Paige vs. T.J. Warren.
No. 19 North Carolinas leading scorer
a notorious second-half phenomenon
against the ACCs leading scorer backed by
a home crowd clamoring for him to carry
his team over an in-state rival.
But with 0.7 seconds left on the overtime
clock in front of a hostile crowd, it was
Paige who drew final blood, using a Brice
Johnson screen to maneuver around Jordan
Vandenberg and drive toward the basket.
As his left hand extended to the rim,
rolling the ball off his fingertips and into
the net, Paige took a pin to the tautly inflat-
ed balloon of PNC Arena.
North Carolina 85, N.C. State 84.
It was over.
Just as quickly as the crowd became
unglued with an early six-point lead in the
bonus period, the revelry ceased, rapidly
quieting to funereal tones.
Smatterings of expletives were shouted
to referees, to players of both teams, to no
one in particular.
Holder: State attorneys
should question laws
By Eric Garcia
Senior Writer
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder told
a group of state attorneys general Tuesday
that they are not obligated to defend state
same-sex marriage bans, which could have
far-reaching implications.
At a meeting of the National
Association of Attorneys General, Holder
encouraged leading attorneys to follow
the Obama administrations example not
to defend the federal Defense of Marriage
Act, which was struck down in the U.S.
Supreme Court last summer.
In general, I believe we must be suspi-
cious of legal classifications based solely
on sexual orientation, Holder said in
his speech. Our ideals are continually
advanced as our justice systems and
our union are strengthened.
Holder pointed to state attorneys gen-
eral in Pennsylvania, Nevada, Virginia and
Oregon who declined to defend their states
gay marriage bans in court, but said refus-
ing to defend state laws should be rare and
not based on political differences.
In May 2012, North Carolina passed a
constitutional gay marriage ban, which
N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper, a
Democrat, has said he will defend despite
personal opposition.
Rob Schofield, policy director at the
left-leaning N.C. Policy Watch, said
Holders stance is another chip in the
same-sex marriage law.
He said attorneys general squander
state resources when they defend laws
they believe to be unconstitutional.
The attorney general cited
his non-defense of DOMA.
Eric Holder is the U.S.
attorney general. He gave
a speech on Tuesday at a
meeting of the National
Association of Attorneys
General and spoke about the
ability of state attorney gen-
erals to not defend laws they
find unconstitutional.

But Tyler Younts, a legal policy ana-
lyst at the conservative John Locke
Foundation, said Holders statements
could set a harmful legal precedent.
State attorneys general are basically
the lawyer for the state, and to take posi-
tions against your client seems to be a
conflict of interest, Younts said.
Younts said Holders sentiments could
also affect North Carolinas voter identifi-
cation law, which Cooper has criticized.
Mike Meno, spokesman for the state
branch of the American Civil Liberties
Union, said state laws facing constitu-
tional challenges will still be defended in
court, even if an attorney general refuses.
If you look at other states, even in the
cases where attorneys general decline to
defend, someone still steps up to defend
that law, Meno said.
Last year, the N.C. General Assembly
passed a law that would allow the state
legislative leaders to challenge a state law
or constitutional amendment in judicial
proceedings.
Meno said the N.C. ACLU has filed
lawsuits over the states same-sex mar-
riage ban, restrictions on abortion and
the voter ID law.
Were confident in securing rights
for same-sex couples regardless of whos
defending, he said.

He said the project develop-

ty gain a better understanding

worthwhile investment.
It will give advocates, as well
as critics, a chance to evaluate

dents. He said the bus system is

With more than 3,300 members involved in
Greek life, UNC fraternities and sororities offer
more than just temporary social connections
they provide a large alumni network for students
after college.
Many current Greek students create unique
networks at UNC in terms of mentorship, career
development advice and internship opportunities.
Its a way to separate yourself from the other
applicants and particularly make connections
with CEOs, said Hilliard Burton, president of
Chi Psi Fraternity.
Founded in 1855, Chi Psis UNC chapter is one
of the largest on campus and offers many differ-
ent networking opportunities such as dinners
with former members and guest speaker lectures.
Burton said as a brother, he has access to
alumni for career or internship suggestions.
There are opportunities for those students in
the chapter to interact in a very direct way with
alumni, said Aaron Bachenheimer, director of
the office of fraternity and sorority life and com-
munity involvement.
He said Greek alumni are willing to give their
time, wisdom and advice to the students.
Many of those alumni stay involved, stay con-
nected, come back to campus, so the students have
opportunities to meet with and network with those
folks multiple times a year and set up opportuni-
ties for internships or job connections, he said.
He said in general, the older the group, the
more extensive the alumni networking is.
But he added some younger groups also have
very strong alumni networks.
Chartered in 1976, Alpha Phi Alpha is consid-
ered one of the newer fraternities on campus and
has about 200 alumni across the country.
Warren Wyatt, the president of Alpha Phi Alpha,
said members of the organization regard the alumni
connections as valuable to their careers.
When you are looking for a job, you know, you
need some type of reference, some kind of credi-
bility, and alumni will help you with that, he said.
Bachenheimer said Greek alumni tend to be
the most engaged and generous donors.
He said a lot of Greek alumni stay connected
through different ways after graduation. Some
Greek organizations have chapters across the
country and alumni are still in touch even 20 or
more years after graduation.
There is a sense of commitment and loyalty
that gets engendered through Greek experience
that does not typically happen with most other
student organizations, he said.
Bachenheimer said Greek students have an
added sense of permanence at the University.
Its a place when they come back for a foot-
ball game on a Saturday 10 years from now, they
may not know anybody on campus, but they
know in their frat, they are gonna have a con-
nection.

connections
Kenan Theatre Company puts a spin on the classic
By Megan Caron
Staff Writer
Shakespeares classic love story has tran-
scended time periods and settings now
two student directors are playing with the
shows gender roles.
Kenan Theatre Companys R+J, a mod-
ern interpretation of Romeo and Juliet,
opens tonight.
R+J, written by Joe Calarco, follows a
group of Catholic school students as they
begin to read Romeo and Juliet for the
first time, breaking school rules.
The script was originally written for a
male cast, but co-directors graduate stu-
dent Nathaniel Claridad and junior Katie
Chelena thought two casts one male
and one female would bring a unique
dynamic to a familiar story.
A single-gender, four-person cast means
that each actor is responsible for more than
one character in the show.
There are no costume changes, so its all
up to the actor to drive the show, Claridad
said.
The show will also be done in-the-round,
with the audience surrounding the stage,
creating a more intimate atmosphere
between the audience and the actors.
Chelena said audience members will
hear Shakespeares words in a new and
exciting way.
Its fresh, she said. It takes something
thats very old and stale and makes it fiery
and brings it back to life.
In addition to the proximity of the audi-
ence and the small casts, the show will also
only have one prop: a giant piece of red
fabric.
Thats my favorite kind of work, Chelena
said. When you strip down your resources
to only the bare basics, suddenly the most
simple thing becomes so beautiful and I
think thats the most exciting thing for me.
Junior Abigail Coryell, one of the shows
actresses, said the challenges of the minimal-
ist play made it extremely fun to work on.
Its been really rewarding to try and
understand how Juliet and the student in the
story can become the same story, she said.
Coryell also said she thinks students in
the audience will be able to relate to the
students in the show.
The fact that we are students at the
same time that they are just sneaking off
and doing something they are not supposed
to be doing and they start believing in this
story it just brings the beauty and the
poetry and the danger of Romeo and Juliet
closer to home, she said.
Claridad said having two separate casts
has helped show the variation in gender
dynamics more clearly, but each cast also

Google Fiber may

Carolina Creates does Beatles
By Kris Brown
Staff Writer
Google Fiber, a high-speed televi-
sion and Internet service, could soon
be coming to Chapel Hill.
Chapel Hill and Carrboro, along
with Raleigh, Durham, Morrisville,
Cary and Garner, are some of the 34
cities included in Google Fibers poten-
tial expansion announced last week.
Google Fiber is currently only
available in three cities across the
country: Kansas City, Mo., Austin,
Texas and Provo, Utah.
Its an exciting prospect for our
region and would be a catalyst for
economic development and entrepre-
neurs, said Chapel Hill Town Council
member Lee Storrow in an email.
Google Fibers connection speeds
are 100 times faster than conventional
broadband services, are capable of pro-
viding clear high-definition TV, and can
allow for near instant downloads.
The cities are not approved yet,
and Google said it will be working
with mayors and city officials in the
next few months to check if the cities
have ample infrastructure and the
necessary resources to submit a high
volume of construction permits.
The cities must submit their quali-
fications by May 1, and then Google
plans to announce the final list of cit-
ies that will get Google Fiber by the
end of the year.

When The Beatles first set
foot in the United States, they
topped the charts and attracted
millions of fans. Fifty years later,
Beatlemania is still alive and will
storm Chapel Hill tonight.
Hosted by Carolina Creates,
All You Need is Love will com-
memorate the 50th anniversary
of The Beatles arrival in the U.S..
Student bands will come together
at Chapel Hill Underground on
Rosemary Street to celebrate by
playing Beatles hits along with
their own compositions.
The idea started in the team
because a lot of people were fans
of The Beatles, said senior Patrick
Carney, co-director of Carolina
Creates music division. I think
most musicians appreciate the
influence of the band on music
culture.
In addition to paying tribute to
The Beatles, Carney also seeks to
use this event to promote student
musicians the goal of Carolina
Creates Music.
The featured performers
include Carolina Sidekicks, Sloth,
Moneybox and sophomore singer-
songwriter Aline Martins. Carney
is part of the group Carolina
Sidekicks.
We were all sort of the side-
kicks in our other projects, he
said. We thought itd be fun to get
together and form a group that
would just go out and play covers
of songs we all really like, taking
turns fronting the band so were
not sidekicks all the time.
The band will be playing
Beatles songs already in their
repertoire, while Martins will be

own twist.
Im going to do All My Loving
its going to be a pretty jazzy
rendition of it, my take on Amy
Winehouses version, Martins
said. Its like a cover of a cover.
Martins often performs for dif-
ferent organizations on campus
but said as a devoted Beatles fan,
shes excited for All You Need is
Love.
I immediately started thinking
about a set list after they contact-
ed me, she said.
Carolina Creates also held

Facebook event page encourag-
ing people to post their favorite
Beatles songs. A poster will be
chosen randomly to receive two
free tickets.

them throughout the years they

People are usually very frightened of
Shakespeare or think he is boring, but hes
not, he said. He actually taps right into
who we are as human beings.
Junior and actor William Foote said
audiences should look forward to being
intrigued by the show.
It encapsulates the comedy aspect of
it hugely, but at the same time, it is really
a tragedy as well, so it is a really good bal-
ance, he said.
Coryell said this performance of Romeo
and Juliet is for those who may not fre-
quent the theater often.
This would be the production for them
to see, because its (students) up on stage,

Its four students playing around and

drawn to the area because of the N.C.
Next Generation Network, which is
a collaboration of universities and
municipalities, including UNC and
Chapel Hill, that aims to supply ultra-
fast bandwidth at affordable prices.
Because of the three universities (in
the area), because of the high-tech area
and Triangle Park, because of the stu-
dents and the start-ups that we do, we
believe that an innovation region like
this would make the fastest and best
use of high-speed Fiber, Hoit said.
Hoit said the technology has far-
reaching applications two years
ago, a violist, a violinist and cellist
performed together 600 miles away
from each other in real time using a
Fiber connection.
Neil Davis, a freshman study-
ing computer science at UNC, said
Google Fiber could expand the oppor-
tunities for collaboration between
UNC students.
Possibly, it could give computer sci-
ence students a better infrastructure to
work on open-source projects, he said.
This being Google, they may allow us
to tamper around with Fiber itself.
Davis said the availability of high-
tech resources in the area could spur
students to be more proactive in the
work they produce.
Its inspiring enough for me to
want to do computer science, not just
to innovate, but also to innovate to
improve our society.

Hey Pocky Way: A Mardi Gras Primer
will celebrate the food and music of New
Orleans this Saturday at Trotter Hall in
Durham. Organized by husband-and-wife
team Phil and Heather Cook, Hey Pocky
Way ties together the full experience of
New Orleans culture.
We tried to make sure everyone is get-
ting something really special, Phil Cook
said.
Heather Cook said those in attendance
will leave with three things: full bellies, big
smiles and tired legs.
Heather Cook, the owner and event plan-
ner behind Shindigs!, and Phil Cook of the
band Megafaun have worked several fun-
draisers together before but wanted to put
together something bigger for the greater
Durham community.
Phil and I have always loved the culture
that surrounds New Orleans and Mardi
Gras, Heather said. Its a great time of year
for people to start getting out more, gather-
ing together, enjoying delicious things and
dancing to good music.
The name Hey Pocky Way is a reference
to the vernacular language originating from
New Orleans and the Mardi Gras Indians.
Its a sort of a language used during the
festivals of Mardi Gras. But its also the title
of a famous song by The Meters, Phil said.
Food will be served by Ricky Moore of
Saltbox Seafood Shack, and Ponysaurus
Brewery will provide locally crafted beers.
Ricky is one hell of a talented chef. He
does great work all around, Heather Cook
said. Moore is arranging a low country boil,
a one-pot combination of seafood, sausage,
corn and potatoes.
We tried to make everything really high
quality, Phil Cook said.
The event will consist of a live music
performances by Boneslinger, The Bulltown
Strutters, Phil Cook and the Guitarheels
and The Hillside Hornets Drumline.
We knew we wanted music that
would fit the Mardi Gras season, so Phil
approached the Bulltown Strutters and
Boneslinger right off the bat, Heather said.
Then as weve gotten closer, his project,
Phil Cook and the Guitarheels, has grown
into something really special.
All proceeds from Hey Pocky Way will
go to benefit the Hillside Hornets Marching
Band Program.
Marching was central to me as a youth,
Phil said. I wanted to give back to some-
thing that has always meant a lot to me.
Its been fun learning more about the
history of the program and the vibrance
of where it is now, only solidifying more
within Phil and I that the Durham commu-
nity should proudly support them, Heather
said.
Hillsides band director Christopher
Hayes said the Hillside Hornets are a well-
loved Durham staple, but it has been diffi-
cult getting funding for their program.
Phil was impressed with the group
overall and wanted to reach out and help
any way that he could, Hayes said. This
funding means we can serve our students
better and allow our students better oppor-
tunities.
Hayes said the drumlines performance
at Hey Pocky Way will be a chance for
people to appreciate what the students have
to offer.
This is an opportunity to reach a diverse
audience and reach a crowd we may not
otherwise perform for, Hayes said. Our
students enjoy putting on a show. We hope
to enlighten people who want to help and
support the arts.
Phil Cook said he hopes Hey Pocky
Way encourages people to experience local
culture within the context of a New Orleans
tradition.
It would be foolish to miss a great
opportunity to open up and let your com-
munity in, he said.

Hey Pocky Way brings a taste of
New Orleans to Durham
Diversions Thursday, February 27, 2014 The Daily Tar Heel 5
With the release of the
bands sixth studio album
Wig Out at Jagbags, Stephen
Malkmus & the Jicks has
opted for short and sweet and
laid down a collection of clev-
erly written pop songs with a
rock guitar punch.
The band formed in
2000, shortly after Stephen
Malkmus indie-rock band
Pavement one of the outfits
at the forefront of early indie
rock went on hiatus.
The combination of the
subtle quips in the lyrics
and the alternations between
soft ballads and jamming
demonstrations has stamped
a trademark on Malkmus
projects.
The band is currently tour-
ing the United States in sup-
port of its latest LP, playing
with the likes of rock outfit
Purling Hiss and the groovy
Endless Boogie.
Dive staff writer Amanda
Hayes spoke with Jicks bass-
ist Joanna Bolme about the
bands new album and its
progression throughout the
years.
DIVERSIONS: Hows the tour
going so far?
JOANNA BOLME: Its going
great. Weve been out for a
couple weeks with a couple
great bands Tyvek and
Disappears.
Were meeting up with
Endless Boogie, and Purling
Hiss is finishing up the tour.
The shows have been going
great.
DIVE: When writing music,
what is the process of col-
laboration like for the whole
band?
JB: Steve writes the songs
pretty much but when he bills
them to the band theyre sort
of in different stages of being
done.
Sometimes hes got the
whole thing mapped out and
sometimes he just came up
with the riff that morning and
hes like, Hey let me just play
this for a while and see what
happens.
In that case then maybe
we ll add some ideas but for
the most part Stephens the
songwriter.
DIVE: The band has been
together for about 13 or 14
years and has made six studio
albums together. What has
the bands progression been
like over the years?
JB: Its sort of stayed the
same, really. I think were
more of a band now. When
we first started we didnt
even know if we were actually
going to be a real band or if
we were just going to play on
Steves record and call it a day.
I think the main progres-
sion is that weve become like
a real band, a were-all-in-
it-together sort of mentality.
Thats the main thing.
DIVE: How is your new
album, Wig Out at Jagbags,
different from and similar to
your previous work?
JB: Its similar to Mirror
Traffic in that the songs are
a little bit more short and
pop focused, whereas Real
Emotional Trash was pretty
jamming although we still
do a bit of that on this record.
I think its that the last
record we got a producer,
Beck.
We employed him to be
the producer of the record
so we sort of let him do his
thing and then this record is
us getting back to producing
ourselves, really.
COURTESY OF STEPHEN MALKMUS & THE JICKS
Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks plays at Cats Cradle on Monday.
Purling Hiss will open the show.
This is kind of more like us
again, I guess.
DIVE: All of your albums
have been a little different
from each other.
Ive listened to them and
some incorporate more big
band instruments and others
have an elemental and jagged
appeal.
As a band, do you have
a direction you want your
music to take or a particular
sound you want to accom-
plish?
JB: I dont think we really
plan that far ahead, actually.
We just sort of let the song
sort of dictate whats going to
happen.
Then the brass and horns
and stuff that were on this
record, Steve added them
when he was in Germany.
None of the rest of us even
knew that it was going to
happen so the brass was a
complete surprise to the rest
of the band.
It was a fun surprise but
we didnt really know it was
going to happen. I think Steve
just got an idea and went
with it.

Q&A with
Joanna
Bolme of the
Jicks
Horseback
Piedmont Apocrypha
Rock
Local musician Jenks
Millers latest project appears
under the guise of Horseback,
an ethereal mix of metal and
post-rock instrumentals.
The record begins with
static and screeches in
Passing Through, before
picking up a persistent drum
patter and Millers haunting
voice. The track meanders,
coming and going, much like
the record as a whole.
The title track Piedmont
Apocrypha arrives next
with repetitive electric gui-
tar strums and background
feedback. Varied guitar-play,
a harmonica and even bells
come in, creating a moody
and solemn number that
explodes for a rousing finish.
The record finishes strong
with Chanting Out the Low
Shadow, a 17-minute epic
that pulses and throbs with
drums and disturbing elec-
tronics throughout, the most
exciting stretch of the album.
While Piedmont
Apocrypha is steady, no song
really distinguishes itself
from the next. Nonetheless,
Horsebacks latest is still
a solid collection of eerie
instrumentals and sounds.
Mac Gushanas
Owls
Two
Pop rock
More than a decade after
Owls last release, the band
has reunited on Two, an
album drowned in stale 90s
vibes and repetitive, head-
ache-inducing riffs.
Why Oh Why couples
punchy guitars with dazed
mentions of ChapStick, horo-
scopes and waiters with bad
breath. The product is a solid
three and a half minutes of
whiney, teenage garage rock
for the middle-aged, followed
by the almost indistinguish-
able This Must Be How,
where Kinsella strains his
vocals to no avail.
Early guitar tapping on
It Collects Itself suggests
a diversion from the albums
flat plane, but Kinsella then
directs the tracks fleeting
energy to frantic shouting.
Failing to do more than
briefly interrupt the rest of
the songs dullness, the noise
soon transitions into strange,
animal-like chanting as the
track concludes.
Completely devoid of
hooks and choking on its own
monotony, the album leaves
little desire for more. Two
should only be taken in small
doses, or better yet, not at all.

The town has began efforts
to improve its lengthy permit-
ting application process.
Matt Sullivan, interim
executive director of plan-
ning and sustainability for the
town of Chapel Hill, said the
process has changed signifi-
cantly in the past six months.
He said they combined the
building and zoning permits
into one application that is
reviewed in collaborative
teams rather than different
departments.
Tollen said he has no issues
with permitting because it pro-
tects the public, but people can
be intimidated by the length
and price of the towns process.
Red tape sometimes leads
to people attempting a reno-
vation without a permit.
Most people who have
done renovations illegally
will get caught when they sell
their home, he said. Most of
the time, buyers or brokers
will make the seller go back
and get a permit.
He said codes can change on
an annual basis, so a renova-
tion began this year could have
violations when its completed.
Goldman said the real-
tors association discussed
organizing a task force to talk
with the town and its inspec-
tions department to make
the entire permitting process
more efficient.
The town should have a
time frame of amnesty to reach
out to reconcile with people
who renovated without a per-
mit, Goldman said. Properties
would then be permitted, and
the town would have a more
accurate tax record.

News Thursday, February 27, 2014 The Daily Tar Heel 7
I dont know what it is
about us, but they really hate
us. said Paige, who finished
with a career-high 35 points.
It feels so good for them to
have the game in their hands
and for us to show resilience
and come take it from (them).
The win gave UNC (21-7,
11-4 ACC) its first 10-game
ACC win streak since 2008-
09, a milestone that also
came against N.C. State (17-
11, 7-8 ACC) that season.
For more than two hours,
Warren and Paige engaged in
a captivating battle. The pair
traded baskets in the over-
time period, each seeming to
one-up the other with each
ensuing position. By the end
of overtime, Paige and Warren
accounted for 19 of 27 points
scored in the extra time.
I dont know if Ive seen
much where two guys are
going back and forth at each
other like that, said coach Roy
Williams, who is 27-2 against
N.C. State in his career. I
mean, T.J. has such a tremen-
dous ability. He scores on little
guys, he scores on big guys, it
doesnt make any difference.
As has become habit this
season, Paige clicked into a
different gear after halftime.
After only scoring four points
in the first 20 minutes Paige
shifted into his highest gear
and poured in 31 points in the
final 25 minutes. He drained
seven 3-pointers the most
of any UNC player since Will
Graves in the 2010 NIT finals.
When we see this, its not
a big surprise to us, said J.P.
Tokoto, who had 16 points.
Were very happy for him, but
at the same time we know what
hes capable of, so hes someone
we can definitely lean on down
the stretch.
The Tar Heels followed
Paiges lead and turned their
play around after a dismal
first half. After committing
11 turnovers in the first half
including one with one
second left before halftime
UNC only committed one
more for the rest of the game.
After the game, Williams
said he felt like he and his
team were escaping with a
win. Fortunately for Williams,
hes got the best escape art-
ist on his roster a man
who can battle on the hard-
wood and transform a half
of missed chances and poor
play into a win thats already
cemented itself in rivalry lore.
Marcus Paige isnt going
to win many fights, Williams
said. Id hate to see him in
a fight. But, by golly, Id love
to have him in my foxhole. I
want tough people, and hes
as tough of a little sucker as
Ive ever seen.

Tokoto sets stage for Paige
By Jonathan LaMantia
Senior Writer
RALEIGH Before North
Carolina guard Marcus Paige
could pull the curtain closed on
T.J. Warrens convincing audi-
tion for ACC Player of the Year,
J.P. Tokoto was there to set up
up the lighting just right for
Paiges spectacular finish.
But Tokoto nearly missed
the grand finale.
Tokoto, who scored 16
points in No. 19 UNCs 85-84
win, spent the last several min-
utes of overtime in the locker
room with cramping in his leg
and wrist, which he injured on
one of his two first-half dunks.
He returned to the floor just
in time to see Warrens missed
free throw with seven seconds
left in overtime and to
watch Paige nearly incite a riot
among the Raleigh crowd with
a game-winning layup.
Paige said Tokoto, who was
prepared to return for a sec-
ond overtime, was crucial to
helping him score.
When hes aggressive and
attacking the basket were a
better offensive team, Paige
said. We dont have to rely on
me as much to take contested
jump shots or James Michael
(McAdoo) to force things in
the post.
In the first half, Tokoto
led UNC with eight points.
When Paige nearly jumped
over the scorers table to save
a loose ball with five minutes
left in the first half, Tokoto
was there to throw down
one of his signature dunks,
and breathe life into a reel-
ing UNC team, cutting N.C.
States lead from 11 to nine.
I think it was huge for us,
said McAdoo, whose 2-for-11
effort left a void for Tokoto.
Especially just to have a guy
like him thats so versatile and
can do things such as make
those emphatic dunks kind
of provides energy for us,
especially in a game like today
when were on the road, not
many people are cheering for
us, and we were kind of at a
point in the game where we
didnt really have much energy.
Tokoto was certainly versa-
tile, adding 10 rebounds and
five assists to his 16 points. The
forward assisted Paige on three
second-half 3-pointers, includ-
ing one with 5:47 left to give
UNC a 56-55 lead.
N.C. States Jordan
Vandenberg wrestled back an
N.C. State lead with a thunder-
ous put-back dunk, but Tokoto
followed with two baskets to
give UNC a late 3-point lead.
On the second of the two,
Tokoto came to Paiges aid
after Paiges shot had been
blocked.
Tokoto would spend the
rest of the second half alter-
nating between sitting with a
towel draped over his shoul-
der on the bench and fighting
fatigue on the floor.
With 22 seconds remain-
The sophomore
forward had 16 points
and 10 rebounds.
sit tax to fund part of the light
rail and expand bus services.
Damon Seils, a member
of the Carrboro Board of
Aldermen, said the FTAs
decision was good news.
Seils said the project would
make it possible for people in
the southern part of the coun-
ty to commute to Durham.
He also said the project
would help regulate growth in
Orange County.
The growth is coming,
and we want it to happen in a
sustainable way, Seils said.
Schulz said the project
development phase is set to
end February 2016, followed
by another application to the
FTA and then four or five years
of construction or testing.
If all goes well, trains could
be running between Chapel
Hill and Durham by 2025,
Schulz said.

ing in the second half, Tokoto
charged at the rim where
7-foot-1 center Vandenberg
awaited him like a dragon
guarding his castle.
Tokoto managed a
shot around the imposing
Vandenberg, but it rattled
around the rim and into the
hands of the less imposing
5-foot-11 Tyler Lewis.
He missed another layup in
overtime before subbing out
with 3:27 left, but he had given
Paige the support he needed to
mount a comeback, and Paige
wouldnt squander his effort.
We were struggling as a
team early on, so I looked in
the first half just keep attack-
ing, and it worked. It kept
us in the game, Tokoto said.
Then, Marcus showed up.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
FEATURED ONLINE READER COMMENT
Carolina Fever mes-
sage was offensive
TO THE EDITOR:
I tried my best not to
be offended I really
did. But as I scanned
this weeks email updates
from Carolina Fever, I just
couldnt help it. Referring
to the leader of the Catholic
Church as Big Papa?
Saying that you cant trust
anyone who is elected by a
fireplace, but that sorting
hats are a viable form of
election? Not funny.
Now, dont get me wrong
as a Tar Heel, Ill be the
first to say that I hope we
beat Notre Dame in every
sport. As a Catholic, how-
ever, Ill also be the first to
tell you that making jokes
about Pope Francis and
poking fun at a 2000-year-
old faith tradition is not
OK. Yes, Notre Dame is a
Catholic school, but that is
not the reason we should
root against them.
I get it. Were in the South,
where Catholics are certainly
in the minority. To be hon-
est, some of the traditions
of the church might seem a
little strange to those who
arent familiar with the faith.
But for a place like UNC,
which claims to tolerate and
respect all perspectives, it
is disappointing to see such
remarks being made with-
out consideration for those
whose faith is just as impor-
tant (if not more important)
to them as the outcome of a
sporting event.

TO THE EDITOR:
This week, many Tar
Heels lament the end of the
2014 Olympic Games. For
16 days, we cheered for our
fellow Americans and were
thrilled by great moments
such as the mens hockey
teams shootout victory over
Russia and the American
sweep of the ski slopestyle
medals. I would like to
remind us all that a new
team of American olympians
will be competing in Sochi
this March, and that they too
are deserving of our cheers.
The 2014 U.S. Paralympic
Team will compete in the
upcoming Sochi 2014
Paralympic Winter Games
from March 7 through
March 16. The 74-member
team is sure to impress, as
it includes 32 returning
paralympians who have
won a combined total of 50
paralympic medals. Many of
the teams top athletes are
veterans who were disabled
defending our country.
These games will receive
an unprecedented 50 hours
of television coverage on
NBC and NBCSN, affording
us plenty of opportunities
to watch America compete
in alpine skiing, biathlon,
cross-country skiing, sled
hockey and wheelchair curl-
ing. As UNC students pride

UNC is
Kanye,
Duke is
50 Cent
O
nce upon a 2007,
Kanye West and 50
Cent had beef.
Heres what went down:
Fiddy and Ye were preparing
to drop new albums on the
same day in September. In the
meantime, their rap-star egos
were growing restlessly swol-
len.
50 Cent was itching to sell
records or die trying, so he
grabbed the medias mic and
said if Kanyes record sold
more copies than his, he would
straight-up retire from rap.
50s claim was bold, and what
ensued was a hip-hop feud fit
for AP U.S. History textbooks.
50 Cent and Kanye landed
their faces on the cover of
Rolling Stone, and an ungodly
amount of trash talking went
down. Pasty suburban rap fans
across America were dying to
know the answer to Rolling
Stones cover headline: Who
Will Be The King of Hip-
Hop?
Judgment week arrived.
Drop a drumroll beatYeezy
won. Kanye sold 957,000 units
compared to 50 Cents 691,000
units in the albums debut
week. Did 50 Cent quit rap?
Of course not. 50 and Kanye
took a look at the sales num-
bers, shrugged and started
counting their respective mil-
lions. In 2012, 50 Cent even
called the feud a publicity
stunt.
So why did 50 Cent and
Kanye have such a public
feud, putting their egos on
the line, if they didnt actually
care who won? Thats because
of the economic effect of co-
opetition.
Co-opetition occurs when
two firms collaborate to attain
mutually beneficial results. In
competing with each other
to sell more albums, 50 Cent
and Kanye received ridiculous
amounts of free publicity
and each rapper sold more
albums than he would have
alone.
As my friends prepared
to rush Franklin Street last
Thursday, after our Tar Heel
basketball victory over Duke,
I was also elated but remem-
bered the parable of 50 and
Ye.
You see, UNC is Kanye, and
Duke is 50 Cent. Whether on
the basketball court, in the
classroom or in charitable
pursuits, our schools are loudly
and mutually proclaimed
rivals.
Tar Heels and Blue Devils
contemptuously compete over
everything fliers posted
above urinals in Davis Library
urged me to beat Duke by
signing up for Relay for Life.
OK.
Heres my dirty secret: I
dont hate Duke. I love Duke,
because hating Duke makes
UNC a better academic, inno-
vation and athletics empire.
Every great business, rapper
and university needs a rival to
fuel both sides ambition in the
hateful quest towards perfec-
tion.
Coke needs Pepsi. 50 needs
Ye. Duke needs UNC.
After all, what if our biggest
rival were N.C. State? Imagine
how much our A-game would
regress (couldnt resist that
jab; Im just jelly because my
brother goes to State and has
an employable engineering
degree. At least I have this B.A.
degree to keep me warm).
All that being said: GO TO
HELL, DOOK!

Tone down the
Willingham hatred
TO THE EDITOR:
I am extremely shocked
and disappointed with how
the media and other insti-
tutions are covering Mary
Willinghams research about
literacy among student-
athletes. Like many others, I
find parts of her research to
be unripe, but I believe that
bashing her and undermin-
ing her hard work is contrib-
uting nothing to the actual
problem. While there may
be faults and mistakes in her
research, let us not lose focus
on the actual problem and
the purpose of her research.
I respect Willingham for
her sacrifices taken to better
our community and increase
literacy among students.
Instead of referring to her
in such negative light, she
should be referred to as a
change maker. What she is
doing is bettering our world
today and for generations to
come. We often lose sight of
our goals when something
unexpected occurs. I hope
that Willingham and UNC
will bounce back from this
minor setback and remem-
ber that the fight to ensure
that student-athletes read on
an acceptable grade level is
not over. We will better our
fight if we quit doing imma-
ture things like pointing fin-
gers and name calling.
We must unite and push
through this issue together.
Student-athletes have been
cheated of a great education
for a while, but now is the
time to give them what they
deserve superb athletics
and a superb education.

Images perpetuate
negative attitudes
TO THE EDITOR:
The intentions behind the
body-positive images circu-
lating this week to promote
eating disorder awareness
are noble. However, many
of the images themselves
perpetuate attitudes toward
bodies that make people,
especially women, vulnerable
to negative body image and
disordered eating habits.
The cultivation of body-
positive attitudes is not
sufficient to lessen the
prevalence of eating disor-
ders, which are frequently
underpinned by a desire
for control that manifests
itself as a preoccupation
with ones body. We should
take the conversation about
eating disorders further
why do we often conflate
a bodys beauty with its
worth? Instead, lets inter-
rogate our daily experiences
of unwanted sexualization
and body monitoring.

T
he Community
Police Academy
offered by
the Chapel Hill Police
Department is a valuable
opportunity for students,
and expanding similar
opportunities would serve
the community well.
The department has
made clear that it wants
this academy to be acces-
sible to students, even
changing the name from
Citizens Police Academy
to Community Police
Academy to clarify its
inclusive nature.

more can be done to pro-
mote a more understand-
ing relationship between
police and students.
The Chapel Hill Police
Department could hold a
limited version or a pre-
view of the Community
Police Academy in the Pit
or another visible on-cam-
pus location at the begin-
ning of each semester.
Many of those that would
find this academy most use-
ful (i.e. freshmen) may be
unable to make the trip to
an off-campus location.
Simply put, the more
productive interaction
between police and stu-
dents, the better.
At Stanford University,
students can even receive
course credit for complet-
ing their version of the
academy, which is some-
thing that UNC would do
well to look into.
The idea of cozying up to
police isnt always appeal-
ing to college students, but
any way to incentivize this
mutually beneficial experi-
ence would help more stu-
dents take part.
This academy wouldnt
only provide an opportu-
nity for students to get a
better grasp on the inner
workings of the police
department it would
also provide a natural
forum for dialogue, giv-
ing the department a
welcome chance to hear
input from the students
that it helps to protect
and serve.
Students should
get involved in the
police academy.

The N.C. Department
of Energy and Natural
Resources has sent a letter
to Duke Energy stating
that it will reexamine its
permits for disposal of
coal ash in the wake of the
Dan River spill.

governor, it has report-
edly followed this up with
suggestions that it might

stored coal ash to lined
landfills from its cur-
rent storage in surface
impoundments, or ponds.
Its true that coal ash
ponds are not ideal. Even
without these spills, they
still leach harmful chemi-
cals, including arsenic,
selenium and lead into
the ground and bodies of
water they border.
Even the approved dis-
charge from these storage
facilities can be devastating
to the environment. After
four years of discharging
ash into the Belews Lake in
the 1970s, Duke had man-
aged to kill all but three
species of fish in the lake.
Though these ponds
are obviously very danger-
ous to the environment, it
does necessarily mean that
landfills are the solution.
These dry storage
options pose a threat to air
pollution. The ash is often
caught by the wind, causing
people who live nearby to
breathe in harmful chemi-
cals.
In the fall of last year, the
Environmental Protection
Agency closed a period of
public input on revisions
to their coal ash storage
standards. They have yet to
release any of the revisions.
Before the DENR makes
Duke move all of its coal
ash to landfills, it should
wait for the EPAs input.
Though coal ash ponds
are awful, it remains to be
seen what the best solu-
tion is.
Landfills might not
be the solution for
coal ash.

just named for her favorite
